User blog comment:Danz The Pure/Item upgrade paths from weakest to greatest/@comment-24706802-20140319123239/@comment-3578129-20140319143130

According to new riot's goal: making game smoother and easier to comeback for teams which are behind, this change is fits pretty well. Many champions have solid build paths which can't be changed and require costly items. Getting them leads to unnesessary power spikes. For example khazix who suddenly bought BF sword. That doesn't make game more fun.
