Rank down tickets

Any of the OG players actually miss rank down tickets in the game?
I legit found them so useful back in the days.
With so many new champs coming in I personally feel like they would be useful again with people having 5* R5s and pulling the same as 6*s.
Just personal opinion, thoughts?
also wonder why they never came back.

2017 Xmas
Rebalance- Namor/Cull

All most people did when we got them for Xmas was rank down champs and use the rank up gems we got as well to rank back up the same champs.
We don't need them because we continue to get rank up materials. We have never ending sources for them. What's the point of going and doing content for resources if you have rank down tickets or whatever? People stop doing content just to rank someone down and someone else back up. Defeats the main purpose of this game.
Maybe give everyone 1 RDT on xmas that expires after a couple of days. Also place a limit that only takes 1 champ down 1 rank and thats it. Either use it or lose it.
With champions coming out "not working as intended" or having to be tweaked because a champ was released to strong/weak. I think 1 RDT per year would cover any regret rank ups.
I suspect players would complain about the side effects that would happen if RDTs became something other than an extremely rare tool. RDTs are essentially free rank up materials. Every RDT that goes out is less rank up materials that players would get through other means. So in effect, instead of players earning rank up materials to rank up a new champ, they'd have to choose which one to rank down to get the same net benefit. That's just how rewards work: players think they get created out of thin air, but they actually don't: they come out of invisible reward budgets managed indirectly by the resource management designers.
Games are balanced around the resources players earn on average. RDTs are powerful rank up material resources. If players started getting them, one of two things would happen: they would get less opportunities to earn those materials, or the content would increase in difficulty to account for players being able to shift resources to more powerful champions. Which means if you *don't* shift resources to more powerful champions, you'll just fall behind the difficulty curve, like a class where the teacher turns their back to cheating on the tests but grades on a curve.
For reference, this is probably what is happening with Cavalier difficulty. The same percentage of players tackling it are succeeding now as before, so in terms of relative difficulty the content has the same difficulty. But if you are not one of those players getting stronger as fast as the average, you're seeing something different. That's unavoidable, because of how these kinds of games work: things are interconnected in ways you can't separate.
People make mistakes and it's not always a mistake, sometimes it's literally making the best out of a bad situation. You raking up a champion and having regrets about it is part of the Journey of this game. Do it do it in a way removes that lesson from being burned in your brain about weighing the pros and cons of every rank up,especially when you're in a point where the resources are still scarce to you. That being said as others have pointed out for a lot of people especially Cavalier going into thronebreaker, resources are becoming more commonplace and now we're seeing a lot more rank 2s and a considerable amount of people who've now gone into Rank 3 and 4 territory. Soon we'll get to a point where R5 is on the horizon and when that happens you're going to look back and you're going to say I can't believe I made a big deal about taking this Champion up to rank two, I already took five more Champs I didn't use any more to rank 3 and 4 and my roster is only still getting better and better.
Tldr: NOOOOOOO!
