Question about how champion cycling works

By my knowledge, there are a certain number of champions in cycle (for example there may be 50 vaynes in the cycle at the start, so basically the more people who buy it the lower chance you have to get it.). Let's say you buy a vayne and then immediately sell it, will it go back into the pool of vaynes or permanantly be gone. Similarly, if you get eliminated and have that vayne, will it go back or permanantly be gone. Thanks if you can answer this for me! :)

From the little chart Riot released (which is ambiguous) the game starts with 39 of each tier 1 champion and certain numbers of the others that become available as you level up. When you buy a champion, it is removed from the pool. When you sell a champion, it is returned to the pool. When a player is eliminated, their champions are returned to the pool. I bank on this strategy to finish my 1-cost tier 3's if I couldn't find them early.

When you sell it goes back into pool. That much I'm pretty certain of. After being eliminating I'm not so sure

As funny as buyselling to deplete the pool would be, that's not the case.

I had expected units to return when the player lost, ive heard of another autochess working like it, but not the case as far as i can tell. Otherwise you'd see the popular common units dry up fast (yes) and then hit a resurgence toward the end (no?).
