Why is Revive being removed from SR?

As a Karthus player, I find this ability to be VERY useful and I have seen numerous teams win games based off having this spell on non-Karthus champions. So seriously, why is it going away?

Because the majority of time, it is only taken by people who intend to feed. Plus, it kinda defeats the purpose of having scaling death timers.

Wouldn't be surprised to see the Good Hands mastery get a buff tho, to make up for it

because outside of dominion, no serious player uses it. because the key of being a good player is not dying. the only time it's worth dying is if your team is going to clean up after you. on karth i'd rather have flash/exhaust or flash/ignite then revive.

the revive summoners spell is generally chosen by players who intend to feed.

i have seen it used effectively by karthus players and poppy players at the lower level. but while karthus wants to die to bring deaths to others. realistically he wants to die in a place that is best for his team. flash is necessary and exhaust ignite are going to help more most of the time.

also the 9 minute cd with current games averaging around 32-36 minutes that gives you between 3 and 4 chances to use it. whereas having another summoner might keep you alive and able to do damage longer.

I find this interesting too. I realize that it doesn't get used much but I think its something that newbies should maybe have access to, because it lets them get back in the game and figure out what they did wrong. That way new players can quickly improve their game. Maybe it should be allowed in bot games only for that reason.

why ?? because a team of me and four monkeys could take out the whole sk-telecom team with that Op @r$ed spell in a tourney with zero practice :3
