The point of Guardian Angel is not for you to depend on a 5 minute cooldown revive. It's nice, but what GA is all about is the armor and magic resist in one item slot. In 99.99% of the situations where I am caught in a gank and they wait out the whole 8 seconds to kill me a second time, it's my own fault for being out of position and not having my team nearby. That number is accurate, I checked.

The revive is useful in team fights. Your teammates will still be fighting, so they won't be able to just gather around and kill you again, at least not without taking huge damage from your team.

It's good against burst damage, such as if you have Ahri diving through everyone to kill the AD carry - if the AD carry has GA his team will be able to focus Ahri down before he revives, then he can escape (or turn around and attack the rest of the enemy team if it's safe).

It won't save you if you get ganked or caught alone, but that's not what it's for.

You're basically expanding upon my point.

Also, I would love to have an enemy Ahri who wants to dive my carry despite seeing the GA and team mates nearby. +1 logic

[–]arrayturtle 2 points3 points ago

Well then the fact that you have GA prevents Ahri from diving you, which is also very useful.

What I was trying to convey was that your second point was irrelevant.
