STOP REMOVING MY ITEMS!

I hadn't read anything on the recent patches, and was in a game where I needed an item that gave attack speed and 10% cdr. Didn't want Youmuu because the attack speed is an active. I wanted passive. So I think to myself "Why not Zephyr? It gives me exactly what I need plus some AD and move speed." I go to buy it... and... it's... not there... WHAT THE HELL RIOT? Removed from the game for NO reason at all. It wasn't overpowered at all, and was a great addition to some champion's builds (I loved putting it on Hecarim, for example). I don't know if there's like a memory limit or something on League. Maybe they just don't want people to have to scroll past these items. Except here's the deal. I usually don't scroll through the entire item list anyways. I check the squares on the side to find something that gives me what I need, or I search for an item specifically. OR it's in my item build. There is no reason to do this, Riot. You're removing items you could just keep in the game and it would save you time and work. This just continuously removes diversity in builds from the game until we're all just using the exact same builds. It makes the game boring because there's zero creativity with your build. I'm not saying some items shouldn't be removed, either. There was a good reason for removing DFG. It made mages overpowered. But was Sword of the Occult making people broken? Was Zephyr? Heart of Gold? Leviathan? How about Atma's Impaler, or Sword of the Divine? Zhonya's Ring, which was like a Zhonya's Hourglass except more ap instead of armor, also removed. The list goes on. Some of these items could have just been reworked, like Riot has been doing with many of their current items. Instead you take the lazy (?) route and just remove them from the game. Is it so bad to just leave them in? Who is it hurting? If someone wants to build it, let them build it. If it's not doing as great as another item, at least they're having fun making their own custom build. Some of these might actually be amazing when combined with other items and worked on a little. Riot, please, stop making this game tasteless. It's already unbalanced as all Hell, and now you're taking away our ability to choose our builds while we get destroyed by your "balanced" Yasuo and Darius. Oh, who am I kidding? You know they're not balanced, but instead of working on that, you just keep chucking items in the trash bin. I'm slowly transitioning to Smite because of this. At least in Smite, you can choose from a nice selection of items, and EVERYONE is overpowered, so it is somewhat balanced.
