RUMOR: Riot to start deleting champions off the roster

I heard that "obsolete" champions will start to be straight up deleted from LoL's roster around the middle of this season. Riot is creating a new direction with this game where all new champ releases have flashy AOE CC's or insane mobility to replace 90% of the older champions. Only big money makers with huge mobility will be apart of this "new gen" LoL like Ahri Lee Zed and Nidalee.

How does the paying customers feel about having 90% of the champion roster being made inferior to these new champions and do you guys think failed champs like Urgot Casseopeia etc deserve to be deleted from the game because they are too hard to balance?

By "rumor", you must mean "unfounded conspiracy theory". They aren't doing this.

Deleting thier play style and making a new kit for the champ. It has been happening for a while.

RIP old karma and Sion.

They were talking about doing this internally since the end of last season. I am not joking.

There's too many champs and it's getting to be very hard to balance the weaker ones. I support deletion.

Can't tell if OP is joking or just straight up mentally handicapped.

Hope this isn't true and I highly doubt it is, but I wouldn't be happy and would probably quit if they straight up deleted champions.
