But now I can't pick zombie Karthus Karthus {{summoner:10}} summoner 12

Because 'no one picked it' when clairvoyance and clarity are still in the game, and it's unhealthy while Zed, Lee, and Kalista are allowed to exist on the roster as is. If you're expecting an answer, they can't give one because given those reasons, their logic wouldn't make much sense.

My problem with this is the complete lack of context. Like, aren't they at least gonna explain why they thought it should be removed now?

I mean, clairvoyance and clarity are used about as much (read almost never here) and they are still in the game.

Wasn't Revive only used on zombie Karthus and trolls though?

I would guess there are 2 main reasons

  1. It was pretty much never picked.

  2. In the rare cases where someone did pick it, half the time they were just using it intentionally feed harder, not because they thought it was good.

Tbh I expected Clairvoyance or Clarity to get removed first.

(not that I want any summoner spells to be removed, just they are more of a noob trap than revive)

They remove Revive they remove me ever playing Karthus again, revive aloud him to spam his q in passive than come back and ult instead of wasting his passive channeling his ult

rip fun custom games ;_;

DrCyanide2/24/2015, 11:31:07 PM2 votes

Because U.R.F is coming back soon(tm) and they didn't want another spell to have the same popularity as Flash unless they mandate it (a la Poro King).

BeatzBoyFTW2/25/2015, 3:31:52 PM2 votes

Cause 90% of league players doesn't pick it, except Karthus mains.

BurningRice8/11/2015, 11:29:57 PM1 votes

Because 99% of the time it was taken to feed and troll with. If you saw someone with revive you automatically assumed they were going to internationaly feed.

BADxW0LF2/25/2015, 2:04:27 PM1 votes

Because, honestly, who even used it??? And if it was used, how often was it used? It was a waste of space in the game that could be used for another Sum

It's sad in some ways, not so in others. Doesn't really affect me personally as I never really used it outside of Dominion. But then the time came along and they placed the Soul Anchor Trinket in there which basically replaced Revive for that map.

They could have probably done some work to the spell itself in order to keep it in the game but other then that, there really was just a very small niche of people that used it, so that'd probably why they decided to remove it.

I only just now noticed it was gone, when i started thinking "can I combo Ecko's ult with revive" -- I went to test it and noticed it wasn't on the list.
