Infinity Edge balance suggestion

Reasoning: infinity edge is still a little bit too strong, and it makes playing ADC fairly boring because item builds are the same between the marksmen champions, with a few exceptions.

Suggested change: Remove pick axe from the recipe and replace it with long sword, adjust the Infinity edge recipe cost so that Infinity edge is still the same price.

why? The build up on IE is too strong, You can back early and get a pickaxe and have an advantage on someone who wants to go Bloodthirster or essence reaver. This does not seem right, that buying the superior late game item also gives you an early advantage. Also if you manage to finish bloodthirster before your enemy finishes infinity edge, the components of IE, pickaxe and BF sword, is only 5 less damage compared to Essence Reaver and Bloodthirster. The components of IE are also a whole lot cheaper then completed BT/ER.

Possible Issue? You could start with long sword + pots for easier IE. However, Longsword start is pretty bad not even viable really.
