Legacy Cursor Removal Revert

We were a little hasty with the permanent removal of the Legacy Cursor as an option in 9.15. As a result of your feedback, we're keeping it in 9.15 and onward at this time. That being said, we're still planning on removing the option entirely in the future, but enough players have expressed their preference for the gauntlet in light of the news and we want to respect that.

Now how about a "Twisted Treeline Removal Revert" before iit actuall yhappens?

I mean... seriously? you'll revert a mouse cursor change and say it was a bit hasty, but you plan to outright ruin the game for a similar number of people (probably). Where's the "we were a little hasty" for that?

And on the actual change- It hurts literally nothing to just leave the old cursor in there. It doesn't depend on some crazy outdated technology that doesn't exist anymore (cough, standard windows hardware mouse cursor) or anything. Any silly comment from riot about it costing money to maintain that is complete and total BS.

I won't be missing the old cursor, but it certainly doesn't hurt me if it continues to exist.

You see, the difference, is that 10% of the userbase uses the Legacy cursor compared to under 0.2% of the userbase on Treeline. Not that I support Treeline being removed since I'm part of that small userbase across however so many accounts that actually play it.

Also, it does cost an amount to maintain. Just because you aren't aware of how software and firmware work, doesn't mean it's non-existent. However, the cost of it is admittedly remarkably low for such a simple purpose that it wasn't worth mentioning.
