What are some "pulled because of backlash" things you actually liked?

There's been a few things that Riot has released, the community has caused an uproar about, so Riot has unreleased them. Are there any of those things you wish could have stayed? For me it's ARSR (All Random Summoner's Rift) Before they released it for that short time, I had made a few posts saying how much I would like the game mode, so I was very excited when it seemed like Riot had listened! I gave it a play, and it was honestly everything I'd hoped for. Players would have to discuss which of the champions in the team would be best in which position, and sometimes champs wouldn't fit so neatly, and it made for some interesting games! I remember fondly a game where I ended up playing as Lulu jungle. Built AD and after an item or two my clear was insane. I'd never think to try something like that in a regular game, it was a blast. Alas, the consensus was that the game mode was a failure, and was pulled from the random game mode rotation. I'll always miss it.

Sewn Chaos Amumu.

by the way Jungle Lulu is still definitely a thing. You can go Runic or Bloodrazor, WQE and gank off whimsy cooldown

I would have loved ARAS, but i definitly see why they pulled it. Stuff like that only works if you play with similar minded people, ideally as a 5 man premade. Playing it through matchmakeing with random mates was rather bad, to little time and tools to discuss who goes there, to many people that are totally lost on their champ or are straight trolling, very lobsided games cause of a first time midlane leone feeding a otp Ahrie...the idea of makeshift teamcomps is very compelling to me, but you need competent teamates that are flexible enough to really pull that off.

Else i really would have liked the Lee changes way back, they actually did look interesting and would have shifted some of his power away from his opressive early.
