Add back in revive summoner spell

Open spell book rune is a really cool concept, but really has no meaniful application. Most people just trade out one of their summoner spells one time (early game ignite to late game cleanse or exhaust). If revive was added back in as a summoner spell it could prove very useful in games depending on the situation.

Enemy team trying to baron and your dead? Change out to revive.

Is it past 45 mins and you got caught out and there's no way your team can 4v5? Change out revive.

I believe this will make open spell book a much more attractive option.

If they brought it back as a regular summoner, everyone everywhere would take flash/revive because new runes brought 1shot assassins back in a big way, and if they brought it back as just part of the spellbook, it would only worsen the condition of the rune because people would take it just to switch to revive as quickly as possible and never use it again.

I don't think that people would normally take revive. Speaking from an ADC's perspective, I'd rather buy a GA or stopwatch, then lose out on the laning and sustainabliliy power of heal. If I can survive an assassins all in with heal, why respawn immediately to give him another kill?

adc's don't matter in this scenario because they wouldn't ever take the spellbook and they have guardian angel, so they don't need revive anyways. they removed revive from the game for the same reason they turned GA into an AD item, it's really not fun to have to kill 2-3 people twice during a teamfight, even if their entire team doesn't have it.
