How come no one uses cleanse?

I never see this summoner spell, even though it could easily save your life or stop that crucial exh in a teamfight, or both at the same time really.

It is terrible in blind pick because you don't know the enemy team comp. In draft if you want a defensive summoner spell then Barrier or Heal is usually better for surviving, esp vs assassins who want to 100-0 you, not cc you.

On top of all that you need good reflexes to make use of it well.

And against these 5 champions: Warwick Malzahar Skarner TahmKench Urgot it can't cleanse their hardest CC which is a Suppression which can only be removed by a item 3140 or item 3139 .

Cleanse is only really useful on mid and adc in rare situations. The only champs you are likely to run into are tahm and malz in ranked. Since you don't take dmg during Tahm cc there is no real reason to be on a massive hurry to cleanse it. Malz has 1 shot potential so Barrier is an acceptable alternative during laning phase and qss can be bought for teamfights. Barrier is also useful vs all enemies.

Its used in the MMR's that people actually have a decent understanding of the game.

I actually just used it in a game which i played cait ADC against a full lock up team comp. Nasus Morgana Tryndamere Jinx Leona

to say nonetheless it saved my ass more times than heal could ever save me.

If TP weren't so mandatory on top laners, I think a lot of the immobile melee champs would do well with it. Illaoi, Trundle, Morde, Nasus, etc. Basically anyone who's vulnerable to getting cc'd/kited.

Most of the time your support/anyone else is peeling for you so cleanse is a waste most of the time. With heal it gives you that extra speed to kite and HP for survival. Not to mention you have QSS and support getting Mikael/plenty defensive items.

It's still a decent spell but heal is just a lot better in almost any situation.

cdr needs to be lowered to 180sec like ghost and barrier I think, that or allow it to give a person 30% run speed for 2seconds like heal.

they do, just not at low elo and mostly in draft pick

I take it mid lane against heavy cc team comps. No reason to take it on any AD champ, because QSS is so accessible and stat efficient. But I do use it as an alternative to barrier when playing mid, if the enemy team has 3 or 4 types of hard cc.
