Ok, as we all know, in an AoS items are second most important thing, heroes being first.
And we are going with items nowhere fast. So that tread there needs to be taken care of.
First off, I made that list of basic items. I think it should be moved from notepad and in to a nice looking arrangement. And also all of the ideas about given items should also be put there.
And about recipe system, it must be different from dota. I was thinking that you don't need to get the recipe, but when you get needed items it is created. And also some way in which you can see all available recipes but not buy them.
Its a lot of work, but we need to keep things organized, else when we come in to creation stage it will be hell to finde them all :/
