Revive removed? No niche summoner spells? @Riot

"We want strategic diversity for season 5"

Then... Why are we removing niche summoner spells like {{summoner:10}} ? I know it's not as used as others summoners, but {{summoner:2}} are not popular either...

It works really well with and some people have found really interesting strategic with champions like and . And what I most hated is that there was no context about it's removal, you removed it like it didn't even matters... But with it's removal, you are not letting the players find new ways to fight some of the "top tier" champions!

I srsly don't know why Revive was deleted... I hope you bring it back. If you want to make S5 the "Season of strategic diversity" you'll need to start to buff some of the others niche items and summoner spells or there will be no diversity whatsoever.

I hope at least someone from Riot reads this. If you want, there is no need to response, but I hope you reconsider its removal Thanks for reading!

I asked for context. I'm not expecting to get any.

This is my first time on the discussion boards, as I've never felt the need to post anything before. However, the removal of a certain summoner spell has absolutely crushed me.

I cannot express the amount of despise I feel towards Riot's removal of Revive. The fact that they gave us less than a day's notice before the removal of the spell was also an absolute horror, as I was not able to play with it one last time before it was gone. Sure, nobody uses it very often and it's never seen competitive play, but it wasn't hurting anyone, and every single time I've taken Revive, my teammates, opponents, and I have had fun.

I personally used Revive solely for Move Speed Hecarim , and I tell you, there is nothing more hilarious and satisfying than dying to a lane opponent, Revive summoner 12 ing back to lane, and running your opponent over.

Every teammate and opponent I have ever been in game with while having summoner 12 Revive Move Speed Hecarim has had a good laugh, no matter who wins or loses. Out of the 1500 games of League I've played over the past 2 years, the most fun I've had in any of them was when I was speeding down the center of Summoners Rift, too fast for anyone else's eyes to follow, a blurred rainbow streak on their screens.

The removal of this glorious summoner spell truly saddens me, and League of Legends is a much worse game without it. No context for the removal of it makes it even worse. And what makes me cringe the most is that it was removed before {{summoner:2}} , something that a trinket can now do.

Please Riot, if you have any goodness in your hearts, bring back Revive. You know it was the wrong thing to do, and it's not too late to revert this mistake. All the Hecarim and Karthus players around the world are begging you to reconsider.

Clarity needs to stay if only in ARAM. It's incredibly useful to have one on your team in that game mode.

Clarity isn't getting removed because it's meant for lower level players. (heal used to be liek this too before it got buffed). Clairvoyance isn't getting removed yet because they are still working on balancing vision, however I do see it go in the near future unless Riot makes a major change. Cleanse is a decent situational spell, so Riot seems to be fine with it.

It was pretty much only used as a troll spell

revive was removed because it allowed lee sin to constantly jump from one side of the map to the other without ever taking a break due to death.

They definitely need to bring back revive. Now the game is just flash+ x one way street game that shows absolutely no diversity what so ever. Revive was one of the summoner spells that promoted diversity. The trolls will exist no matter what and Riot made a huge mistake by removing it. The way the Riot's trying to take the game towards will soon be the end of league of legends. The game is absolutely not diverse anymore and it will turn into one way street pretty soon.

Will the other summoner spells ever be buffed for diversity? Or how about this... every is locked with flash but can attack an Effect to flash, Say when u flash u get 40% mana back or when u flash u reveal the area u flashed at for 8 seconds, or when you flash you get a barrier for 2seconds.. since every one cries if u dont use flash...

picking revive is, and always has been, pathetic. You're basically admitting that yes, you're going to get killed a lot, so often in fact that you think this revive skill is going to be a good choice...why not just surrender immediately?

It was only really relevant on like 2 champs outside of Dominion, and now that Dominion has the trinket, I guess they decided it'd be easier to just get rid of it.
