Why is it terrible? I have been part of League since early S4 and I have always seen it ridiculed, when it seems like a completely viable option, despite the long cd. It gives a movespeed bonus, full hp, and it can really help while defending base.
EDIT: So it seems a lot of you think it doesn't help win the game. While I still think it can be used as a great holding spell, I can't be reported for picking it, so If I want to, I will pick it. Thanks everyone!
BeatzBoyFTW3 votesNobody likes a useless 500 second summoner spell which doesn't offer anything to a teamfight.

If you can stall losing for long enough, then you partners will revive, too
Bears Dont Care2 votesThe problem with revive is that it doesn't have a point in which it helps you win. Early game, the respawn timers are low enough to not need its usage. Late game everyone else is dead and you typically won't save the match.

You can hold the base until others respawn.

No, you really can't. If you lose a teamfight, it will still be 5v1 or 4v1 or 3v1. You'll get dived and killed.

Duke Anax1 votesThe thing is, revive is only mostly useless on Summoners rift, because it is so big. Most times, it takes you too long to get back into action to actually benefit from it.
However in Dominion it is so important that they actually put revive on the trinket there. (however disabling the spell as well)
It might still usefull on Twisted Treeline though for the same reason (turning a fight into a 4v3)
Sometimes it may be usefull on Karthus, Kog'Maw or Sion, because they may actually want to suicide and suiciding becomes more attractive when you have revive.
Aurelius Maximus1 votesits good with teleport and karthus
you are welcome
