The real reason Revive was removed was to nerf mages and tanks.

or the fact that this summoner spell combined with teleport allowed people to feed more which promoted toxic behavior or the fact that it feels unsatisfying when your lane opponent takes teleport revive and after you kill all you get is 300 gold but your lane opponent is now full health and can close the gap by farming while you back

Yea, so does Anivia wall. So does Blitz pulling their main engager. So does Syndra being able to throw your blue buff at the enemy jungle. So does J4 ult. So does the new champion's ult.

You can't balance the game around "toxic behavior". Literally everything would be banned because I get people that intentionally feed with every champ/summoner spell.

Yes but this is a summoner skill where literally more than half of the times it was used at max level were for the sake of trolling.

If anivia's wall ever got to the point where the MAJORITY of people playing the champ were ONLY using the wall to screw over their allies, it would be justifiable for Riot to consider changing it.

It's understandable that an ability that had virtually no actual gameplay value except as a novelty or a trolling tool be removed.

You have no idea how many times it was used for trolling, so not sure why you throw that out there. People troll with ever single thing in the game. Every single thing. It had game play for a few champs.

It had gameplay for... 3 or 4 champs who had extremely low playrates and were more successful without it.

It was used as the most common method of indicating to people in champ select 'hey guys, I'm trolling - you should dodge now!' far more frequently.
