So, I forget, Warwick used to build this item as part of his core build whenever he jungled. I believe it was called "Madred's Bloodrazor" Looked like a creepy Green clawed hand I think. Kinda looked like , but, again, Green.

So, why did we get rid of this item, kind of like, why did we get rid of "Udyr's precious Locket???"

Now, before you go explaining all the trouble it caused for whatever reason, what I want to know, specifically is WHY did we get rid of these items, then introduce crap like as if its no big deal at all. Anyone care to field this. I can't help but think Madred was no where near as busted as some of the later items introduced to the game.

tbh idk why they removed madreds razor/wriggles lantern. Maybe because madreds was RNG as it was a % on hit proc. I think it was removed around the time of the new spirit jungle items (spirit of the elder lizard and such).

Locket was made/removed at a time I had 0 clue what I was even doing in league or read any type of patch notes/media. Apparently it just gave him infinite mana/aura and just able to spam his stances all the time. It was a very cheap item and really stood out compared to others so they just removed it because it was proving to be an item that would cause future design problems.

Morello isn't with us anymore. One of his posts in 2014 was expressing his frustration on what the game is/become and that he'd like to fully revamp a lot of champions/items but that would require a lot of work/resources so that never happened. I don't think they really care about "balance" honestly but just making new things to get people excited and keep playing.
