Yeah, looks like Heimer is losing his too in his rework, and Teemo also has a rework in the works, I wouldn't be surprised if he lost his or it was changed too...

The real reason I think is that blind is very situational compared to other forms of cc, even soft cc like silence or slow. It just doesn't have ANY effect on most members of a team, and those that it does, still can get their on-hit effects and damage off anyway, as well as all their abilities. Even against a carry it's not the best, since silence can stop them from using their steroids or initiation/escapes altogether, slow or snare, even knockup can stop them from ever catching their target to do ANYTHING... and can stop them from escaping, but blind just stops the autoattacks (and not even the on-hit damage from the autoattacks...)

It's kind of too focused on one champ and situational, when it works, it can shut a champ's damage down completely, but the rest of the time its totally useless... Basically the same thing as mana drain.. they got rid of mana drain for the same reason, it mainly only hurt mages with mana, and even they had a lot of ways to get around it doing ANYTHING to them, and at best, it just stopped them from attacking for a short time.. every single other cc is better against them.
