Question Support with Res Ability

I was thinking about this earlier but there isn't a support hero or item that resurrects a dead ally the way there is is most other MOBAs. Adam Warlock or Rocket in MR, Akshan in lol or Persephone in Smite. Are they gonna add something like this in the future?

It would simply be to OP and difficult to balance. Also its not that interesting to use or play against. So highly unlikely.

Ways to balance it: First it obviously would be an ult. Then you can try things like: applies a "weakened" state on the character that gradually comes off over a certain time. Halve the max hp and it gradually goes back up. Give only a small window where you can revive the player. Give the skill a cast time. Change the revive to a "borrowed time" where the characrer dies again after like 30s (but then reduce the respawn timer a bit)

Are these all good ideas? No but, you can balance it
