Cleanse needs to be buffed

Everyone has the experience of having to face off a 12/2 Vladimir, Zed, Fizz at some point in time. And if you don't have any "correct" picks for it these champions can be complete untouchable. There is literally nothing you can do but try and fight them sooner or later only see see that Vladimir can 1v3 Fizz and Zed can escape from almost anything and maybe get a kill while they do it. Part of the reason is their ult. Increased damage, a second pop (Vladimir has both of these) and slippery kits make for a difficult fight. Even trying to 1v3 or 1v5 them could prove fatal if your not paying attention and lets face it summoner 1 is a mostly a worthless summoner right now. And these champions have tons of issues right now. Vladimir has no counter play/pick and is more or less unstoppable. Some of the other champion have this issue as well, Swain for example. A few items and he is god tier tank doing tons of AOE damage. Moving on cleanse is a weak summoner that gets little use. There are champions that are ridiculously powerful that cleanse should work on but don't. Maybe time to take a look at it.

Cleanse is a niche summoner spell, if you want to fight vlad, take ignite for the healing debuff. if you want to fight fizz/zed, take exhaust to lower their burst. None of the champs you stated above have HARD cc (maybe swain W) so why would you take cleanse over another summoner spell?

That's what I'm saying it needs to get buffed, cleanse is to limited in its usage. As it stands it only works for CC, but if you open it up to deal with things like Zed's or Vladimir's second part of there ult. Or Remove the increased damage portion of Fizz's ult it gains a lot more versatility other than mimicking a item 3140. And personally I'd take summoner 21 to deal the Zed and Vladimir since i prioritize living over kill the enemy if I find myself at a disadvantage plus its still soak up some damage allowing you to attempt to fight back more.
