Remove Ignite from the game

I think Riot should remove summoner 14 from the game. The spell is not only super outdated on today's league, because everything has already too much damage.

Why would we need a spell that gives true damage (Max 505, which is like 1/4 of an adc life late game), that also gives true vision and Grievous Wounds.

For example,when a Zed R someone, insta summoner 14 them. Because zed full combo isn't strong enough for his ult, it will also deal more damage on the proc. Talon is another perfect example, his burst is already super high, and even more with ignite.

Ignite is in a place so ridiculous that when i go top with summoner 12 , i usually face 3 top, mid and support summoner 14 on the enemy team. That doesn't make any sense.

Probably 90% of the games i play, both supports have summoner 14, 50% of top lanners use summoner 12 and 80% the mid lanners use summoner 14, which is a superb number.

Like, its really great playing mid when out of nowhere you get ulted by Bard , them he just Q, summoner 14, Auto, and you are dead.

With the Runes Reforge, everyone gives more damage, and with the summoner 14 in his current state, its impossible to play a game with only 1 summoner 14 in the enemy team. It's just impossible.

There are people saying that without summoner 14 you can't play against champs like Aatrox, but you can buy items to counter it item 3123 item 3165 , the same way you buy item 3140 against a malz. It's exactly the same. You adapt your purchases around the enemy team, or else there would be just one build for every single champ and that's it.

The cooldown is really low for what it does, it gives too much of a kill potential, making a champ with summoner 14 against one without a upper hand in every trade (unless they take summoner 1 ).

summoner 14 outshines summoner 21 (Lasts 2 seconds vs 5 of Ignite) and summoner 7 (only 50% of the heal).

Overall the spell isn't healthy for the game, making everyone have too much kill potential with the "low risk and high reward" gamestyle.

Remember when ignite was always used to add a few more damage to your last AA and not all-in your opponent by level 3 (or even 2 for some) by throwing ignite first to proc elecrocute and kill him so fast ?
