This isn't a real reason. -_-
Removing so many items and responding to angry community with the same reason for years.
"we don't want the item pool to get so large it's impossible to keep track of it and make informed choices"
I don't buy this . and i won't!
Give us a real reason for removing items.
I really miss Zephyr . Sword of divine . the international unanswered question of why remove sword of occult while mejai exist ! etc...
Every answer was that you are making some changes adding some items and you don't want the item pool to be large so you remove the lowest picked items.
What's wrong with options? When was more options a bad thing . I thought that encourage creativity ?
Or you just want to get a 100% control of what anybody can do ?
