Make Item Upgrading Easier

You guys have already done this with:

item 1029 => item 1031 item 1033 => item 1057

Enable us to upgrade the rest of them equally:

item 1036 => item 1037 => item 1038 item 1052 => item 1026 => item 1058 item 1051 => item 1018 item 1042 => item 1043 item 1028 => item 1011

It'd make building items far more flexible than it is now.

No.

This was added in the first place to reduce snowballing, by making only defensive items to be upgraded like this. I mean, when you are behind and desperately need more survivability you can't just afford 720 g immidiately - so breaking it down helps those laners.

Your suggested change would increase snowballing, as the enemy ahead wouldn't need to think what item does he wants for his upgrade - he would just buy the best he can afford.

But I suppose it could be applied to health too... But on the other hand health is also an universal stat so I'm not that sure.

No.

I can see giant's belt receiving a build path, because ruby crystal mostly builds into MR items and giant's belt mostly into armor items.
