@Riot Any chance of ever being able to delete content?

So I was just reading about the tribunal coming back and positive incentives as well as the increased feedback on punishment. It got me to wondering if we will ever have the option to delete content from our account or not? Early on I wanted to get rid of champs because I'm a little obsessive (not bad, but OCD runs in my family so I get funny about stuff some times) and wanted just really organized champs and to get rid of the ones I don't play.

The refund system was nice to use on a couple champs I changed my mind on, but I'd love to be able to remove stuff from farther back and more than 3. I don't even want a refund on it (although like 1/4 or 1/10 of the IP (or maybe even RP but I doubt that would ever be an option and I understand why) would be a nice thing it makes sense if it's just a delete button w/ no other advantage).

Mostly I just have a lot of stuff I used to play and don't any more and while some of it I would keep, the stuff I don't have skins for (and some that I do, like vayne) I would love to get rid of because I haven't played most of my champs in over 100 games probably, and of those champs IF I do bring one to play in ranked or play one in bots or something, I probably won't use 80% of the ones I don't use bc I like the other 20% more and vary stuff very little.

Now this wouldn't matter much except that mystery skins are gifts. It's cool to get a random skin maybe once a season or something and I'd definitely work for that...... if the majority of my champs weren't things I won't ever play. It suck to have an incentive that is really worth working for and suddenly it isn't worth working for because it holds no value as 95% chance I CANNOT use the thing ever.

Can anyone think of a good reason that I'm missing why we can't delete champs we decide we don't want on our account? (Also on the off chance a red ever sees this, it would be great if you could say if anyone might ever consider a nominal amount of return (like 1/10th IP, or 50-100 RP if skins or other RP only items are destroyed this way) on content deleted. That way you get something back but it isn't like a refund where you can just trade stuff out constantly and it would take a bunch of removed account content to buy anything new.)

There's absolutely no reason to have this. There would be zero benefit to players (except trying to exploit ARAM by removing bad picks from their pool), and the only thing Riot would get is a stream of complaints from players that regret their decision to delete something.

Riot support in the past has deleted champs from a player's account by request. There is no refund associated with it if the refund tokens have already been spent.

I quit ARAM because I have about ~10 champs that I can't refund that I will never as long as I live want to play...(some I bought because I thought I'd like, others came free when I bought the game's CE years ago). Some of them are actually even considered 'power picks' in the game mode, so it's not just 'oh they're weak I don't want to play them'... so I would've loved this option.

You have my support even though I don't play anymore. I know a few OCD people and I can see this helping one or two of them as well. It's a good option.
