Malzahar Ultimate vs. Cleanse

Camuroi·Jun 1, 2016·3 votes·36,820 views

Hey,

a friend of mine played against Malzahar as Ahri in several games and we found an obvious Bug: Malzahars' Ultimate Ability is not removable by the Summoner Spell "Cleanse" . Seeing as the description of Cleanse reads: "Removes all disables and summoner spell debuffs affecting your champion and lowers the duration of incoming disables by 65% for 3 seconds" this quite obviously can't be correct or intended. Steps for recreating:

Play Ahri (not tested with other champions)
Play against Malzahar
Malzahar uses Ultimate Ability on Ahri
Cleanse is greyed out and can not be used

I hope this will be fixed promptly. Thank you for helping out your community.

summoner 1 never removed supresses

suppression falls under the category of crowd control but not disable - just because it also disables its target doesn't mean it counts as a disable.

Same reason why nasus W doesn't decrease master yi's attack speed when his R is active. Just because it also slows down attack speed doesn't mean it counts as a skill that decreases attack speed; it's considered a movement slow and since master yi's R makes him immune to all slows, that entire skill's effects are negated, same goes with using exhaust on master yi with R active I believe.

NOT A BUG! Suppressions stop you from using spells and abilities as well, which includes summoner spells like Cleanse.

Cleanse has never removed Suppression abilities. Malzhar, Warwick, and Urgot ultimates all count as suppression instead of normal CC and you have to purchase a Quicksilver Sash if you want to cleanse off their ultimates. This has always been the case.
