If Cleanse doesn't remove anything, maybe give it a spell shield?

I think that would make it a lot more popular than it currently is, and give a bit more diversity in the bot lane with all the Thresh and Alistar and whatnot we're seeing with CC you can't cleanse off(especially Blitz).

NO.

Seriously, champions with spell shields are heavily designed around them. Can you fucking imagine Zed or Fizz with a Sivir E?

Ya know at first I agreed with the OP, thinking oh wow that'd be cool, but this guy's got the right idea. That'd do more harm than good.

But they'd then have no ignite or anything. I mean, lets be honest, the summoner spells at the moment are set to a few things. Flash is a must-have, unless you're Olaf or something and can take ghost. As an ADC, you basically NEED heal for your second for kiting and sustain and fast healing you and your support and anyone else around, as a mid laner you need that extra damage or defense so you either take ignite or barrier to block some burst, and as a top laner you need to take TP or else you're basically saying "fuck the front line I'm the carry," which is acceptable if you're someone like Darius, but otherwise not so much.

Rarely is anything else used. Cleanse is only ever used against a high-CC team that can actually be cleansed(stuns, roots, etc.), and near-useless against other teams.

And, itsn ot like it has to block the damage, just CC. So if a Blitz hook lands on you, you shield it, but the damage still goes through. It wouldn't do much against any mid laners except maybe Malzahar and his silence/ult which he can still do after since you can't anticipate it very well, so it wouldn't be too scary to see Zed or Fizz with it.

The words, too strong, come to mind. Knockups are not cleansable for a reason. I don't remember what the reason Riot gave was but still, if they wanted them to be cleansed or blocked by literally anyone they'd make it so.

This. This is the actually biggest reason. If they went to such lengths to design champs around an ability I doubt they'd give the option for even a similar ability to literally every champ in the game.

I made the mistake of taking Cleanse against a WW the other day and then having the audacity to play like the spell actually did something. Yes, that's the game where I was 1-shot 8 times from WW hitting the R key, and Cleanse doing nothing.
