The price for recipe combination has gotten out of control

The amount of items in the next patch that have gotten recipe combination costs of 1000+ gold has gotten really ridiculous. I understand there's a reason for high combination costs in certain cases, particular when the item has a powerful unique ability, but I remember Xypherous stating during the AP item rework that the reason Deathcap wasn't made from two NLRs was because expecting mages to gain up to 1250 gold twice in a row was too much. Now they have to wait for 1250 for a component and then they have to wait for 1265 gold just to complete the item? You guys really need to look through your recipes for ways to reduce combination costs. Why can't Bloodthirster built from a BF Sword and two Vampiric Scepters? There has got to be a way to get these combination costs back under control, especially since you guys are changing component items so much.

A whole lot of the game is changing at once, it's too difficult to look at the price increase and be able to tell how much it will actually effect you. Passive gold generation, tower gold, shutdown gold, various other item costs etc. are changing so you have to take everything into account at once and that makes it far more complicated than "X item is 200g more, therefore is worse". Plus the stat bonuses and components are changing for most of them.
