Make higher tier recipes for some items

[ShadowFlame]

I think that the game would do great with some items being able to be upgraded into higher tier items, because most of my favorite items are mid-game items that have no upgrade.

Specifically, I'm thinking of impact dial, lockbox, and korhal vanguard. Feel free to post ideas for these items or mention other items you feel could do with being in a better item to make them more viable late-game.

Lockbox is allstage-game item, its still damn useful late game, I feel stupid make a higher recipe for him, his active cost much more than 2000 despite of the stats...

I agree with Impact Dial, and Duran's Eye should have an upgrade

buff on activation under allies, and debuff on enemy!!!(dial)

I'd say Duran's Eye, Impact Dial, Korhal Vanguard, Kinetic Battery and Eternal Drive could use an upgrade.

 

Silver Soul and Chilling Artefact could have a stats increase/decrease with a proportionate change in price, because to me, they kinda feel neither here nor there, like a tier 1.5 item.

if eternal drive active was instant instead over X seconds, that would be a pretty fair buff

Yea, the upgrade could make it heal the same amount over a shorter duration, maybe 5-7 seconds. 20% hp over 15 seconds is just 1.33% per second, which is probably only useful when recuperating from a fight or laning.

I really would love to see an upgrade to Korhal Vanguard. It's got a great passive, but it's usually not worth getting because it has no upgrade potential and mediocre stats.
