We need Tenacity on more items than Merc's Treads and Zephyr...
In other words, can we PLEASE have Moonflair Spellblade on Summoner's Rift again for champions like Elise who would definitely build and use it?

Zhonya's not enough? I'm all for it. Riot should even make QSS AP item. But delete that annoying, op zhonya active.
Itemization on this game is overall kinda shite. It lacks variety and your build path is more or less locked as soon as you pick a champion. If you play ADC you'll always pick up a Infinity's Edge, if you play as Mage, you'll always get a Rabaddon's Deathcap. It's why I tend to prefer Fighters and Tanks because I don't feel like I'm building the exact same damn thing every game.
Honnestly, Moonflair was far from being gold efficient versus all the others items.
But if you make it gold efficient, now it becomes a balance issue. The main weakness of a mage ( let's take for example Ziggs), is that if you lock him down with CC really quickly, he can't use his W to get to safety, if you give him tenacity, he might be able to stay alive, unless you sink more CC into him.
Other thing that doesn't make a lot of sense, to make tenacity useful, you have to be able to take a punch or 2. This is why you don't see zephyr as a core buy on any ADC.
To come back with elise, it becomes a trade off. More often then not, with elise, you burst someone out if they are out of position with a round of spells. SO if you go for the moonflair (saying that it exist) you lose burst damage compared to anther option, and that tenacity wouldn't be super useful since if you get stunned in spider form, you just blow up.
But if you go more tanky, RoA - Merc's - Randuin's, You steal deal considerable damage (Since both Q forms deals % damage) is able to take a punch too while being able to create picks with you E.
The problem with elise (imo), come more from the fact that her damage is dealt in two halfs. Ranged then melee. And the melee part falls into the warrior problem. Melee AD champions have problem being something in league, just because they are easily to kill off in teamfights (And they still have zephyr).
SO explain me, in what does Moonflair coming back would be a good thing.
is amazing if you're AP...
ADs stuck with just mercs kinda screwed otherwise. Why not remake Atma's with tenacity?
