In stadium, there are several interesting powers at level 2 that I would like to keep, but level 3 powers are generally stronger. It would be interesting if we could spend the 10,000 points to upgrade a power instead of buying a 10,000-point level 3 one, because sometimes the ability of a level 2 power is more interesting. Like reinhardt, the power where i get 100 healing every time i get CC is awesome, i would like to see a stronger version of it

I don’t disagree. Some Tier 2s feel outright core to a build, so they have to eat the limit of being (or at least seeming) worse than builds that can get away with stacking generic Tier 3s or having core passives on Tier 3.
This is a true balancing factor, though. Some builds are meant to be stronger earlier than others, so you can argue that it’s a fair tradeoff for something good enough to be considered core and can always be picked up in round 2 no matter what.
That said, I wouldn’t be against trying out some way to make an inefficient upgrade that tacks a few more base stats (ONLY the stats. Leave the passive as is.) onto the item. I don’t think it’d be too problematic if a player had to invest even more than picking up a regular Tier 3 just to make lower tier items closer in strength stat-wise. It would reserve the option for super late game only and still maintain a bit of the weakness of being strictly worse for a majority of the mid-late game.
