They probably do it because nobody is buying the skin anymore, and they want people to buy it before they can't anymore, and so people do.

Also, think about owning a prospective legacy skin! No one who's joined after the skin became legacy will have it, and anyone who didn't think to buy it will miss out! Personally, I think it's cool

I think it sucks that I can't get urfww, mideval twitch or king rammus anymore but I don't think this was a bad choice. I think it adds incentive to buy the skins you like, (go back in time and play the beta), and most importantly makes you feeling unquie.. which from what I understand is the point of buying the skins in the first place. Not everyone has the ones that everyone can still buy.

True, but what happens when you buy the skin you like, and then they remake it. Look at akali, her nurse and bloodmoon skin were changed. I didn't pay for skins only for them to say, "Hey! let's **** some people over and change the skins just because we can!"

Watch the patch previews. No one will understand what Riot is thinking when they make some of these changes.

Proud owner of the legacy Shamrock Malphite skin!

But as someone said, they remove them because no one is buying them anymore, or maybe because they feel that they're outdated, and look obsolete compared to newer skins.

Well as someone said, it is to make the skins unique to those who got them. I would love for some of my skins going legacy, so they give would that extra "prestige".
