Ancient Pocket Watch was removed with the release of flash if I recall correctly. Bag of Tea contributed too much to the snowballing meta-game and was removed. Gouging Blade was considered OP and reworked into Executioner's Calling. The old Hexdrinker was only good only good on Kassadin who was an AD champion at the time. Mana Battery was underused with Lich Bane around. Mournblade was considered OP on champions with AoE abilities. Oponn's Razor was reworked into Malady which was reworked again. Oracle's Hood was OP and removed thanks to Karthus players. Parasitic Recurve Bow was reworked into Wit's End. Pendant of Zephiris was never used because of Aegis of the Legion. Nobody bought Rejuvenation Potion because it healed less than a health potion, but costed a lot more. Not very many champions could utilize Renewal Tunic at the time other than Mundo. Runegorger was another item that only worked on Kassadin at the time. Savant's Stone was considered a hard counter to way too many champions and was removed. Scroll of Teleportation was removed because of pusher champions buying these and having the summoner spell teleport. Rose's Pride was reworked into Zhonya's Ring. Wizard's Regalia was considered OP on support who also carried Innervating Locket and was removed. Yordle Stompers are most likely fake because of the price.
