Why can't you undo an elixir purchase in the shop?

If you accidentally buy the wrong elixir, or if you change your mind, why is there no undo button like with other items? If you haven't left the shop, shouldn't you be able to change your mind if you wish?

Better question: Why can't you undo buying/upgrading items while you are dead? It has happened to me a number of times where I died after a fight, had a lot of gold, and changed my mind of the item(s) I bought/sold after I respawned, but for some reason I can't change it without a severe gold penalty.

This. I had never encountered this until a couple days ago so I'm wondering if it's some new kind of bug. I play mainly Quinn so I tend to build very flexibly and I've found that I've second guessed myself but been pushed to build a sub-optimal item and delay another purchase. I really hope this is something that can be fixed...

Boris the shopkeeper has a no refund policy /s. It's probably a coding issue, e.g. when homeguards was a boot enchantment, you couldn't refund it if you were alive. I don't think Riot knows how to undo buffs on your character.

"I don't think Riot knows how to undo buffs on your character" Maybe, but this is a rare enough interaction I don't think its needed. If Riot ever decides to create a champion that can apply buffs/debuffs and maybe remove buffs/debuffs then they will have to look into this. But they have said they don't want to create a champion that specifically hard counters other champions, and has to be tuned useless if he doesn't have that hard counter.

We're lucky to have the undo button at all... I'm surprised Riot's code hasn't had too many exploits pop up around it.
