Should the true damage Infinity Edge be kept in the game as a separate item?

Something like:

Piercing Edge

BF Sword + Pickaxe + Agility Cloak + 225g (3200g)

+60 AD

+25% Crit chance

Unique passive: 10% of critical strike damage to champions is converted to true damage.

I know the boards have a hate boner for true damage, but it's nice to have item variety where we can get it and this item certainly wasn't overpowered. If the true damage is a dealbreaker, we could change the passive to something like...

Unique passive: Critical strikes deal 3% of the target's max health in bonus physical damage

...if that's more palatable.

No we need Conqueror gone too. True damage needs to be a rear thing.

Yes, so crit adcs can buy it instead of the trash 225% dmg IE that Riot wants to launch.

The LW changes in 8.11 are enough for ADs to lose IE's true damage and not require a "tank killer IE".

It may be nice if it weren't for BtoRK. Still, IE is too iconic to be merely ridden of, so let's keep brainstorming for alternatives for IE...and Conquerors too.
