We have collectively decided that based on the new updates in LoL, the pickaxe needs to be a build-able item out of two long swords and a recipe. This won't change item in any way except that it has a more logical build sequence. For example, longswords upgrade into vampiric scepters and cloth armors into chain vests. It doesn't make sense for a pickaxe to not be built from two long swords with the cost of an upgrade augment. Thank you for your support.
Happy rioting, LoL
Offensive itemization is supposed to be expensive and harder to build since it is, for the most part, static and in no way reactive. Defensive items were changed into this build path because defense is a reactive stat and they wanted it to be easier to swap on the fly rather than being unable to build MR because you bought a belt or not being able to build armor because you bought a ruby crystal.
Vamp scepter doesn't really count either since it has shit efficiency and the only good thing about it is the relative scarcity of lifesteal early on.
what would be better is having one for bf sword instead
After years of exploring the diversity of build orders for the champion Renekton, Wisdom revealed that two longswords could be combined into a pickaxe for a moderate price.
