Why Does Nobody Use Cleanse?

i use it everytime i'm against vi.

I use it if theres a tf on the enemy team

I use it all the time when I go mid lane. Mainly because I play long range imobile mid laners like and . My reasoning is, I should never get close enough to them to use ignite. Plus I tend to fuck up in lane a lot and cleanse helps me survive those errors.

because it is awful. you can dodge skill shots. Health and speed are better.

However, it is good against tf

I will take it when I'm against champs that rely on their CC like Lux. AD based champs dont take it because they can usually buy Mercurial and usually heal will be better in a pinch. On mages you want more offense, so you take Ignite. And since top is usually the splitpusher and needs to be in teamfights they take TP. So theres not really any room for it.

Depends on the champ. Cleanse doesn't remove Suppress so there's no point in it against or but I will occasionally bring it over Barrier for a or .

Exhaust is almost always better, unless CC you fear has long range. But longe range CC usually is dodgeable and body-blockable, so you don't need a summoner for that.

**The biggest reason? Flash and Heal are much easier to use. **

Cleanse can be critical, and is very strong - but you must be good with your timing to be effective with it, and that keeps it in the backseat.

As a potential buff to Cleanse, i'd like to see the cooldown reduced by a bit.

cleanse would only be worth it if it were not suppressed by suppresses

Why use it for a Summoner Spell when you can pretty much buy it in game.

I think exhaust is better than cleanse if I had to choose between the two. I feel like cleanse is rather hard to manage - at least in the midlane. If you get CC'd you better have quick reflexes to cast it and then dodge the incoming damage combo from your opponent.

damage meta. you die too quick. why prevent the cc when you're probably gonna die in half a second as a squishy. better get barrier exahust or heal. they are all superior

Because you only need it when certain champions are picked and it arguably requires more skill and reflex to use than any other summoner spell in the game, which is why it's mainly used in the higher elos, which is a small sample of the playerbase

There are a few champions who could use Cleanse... but they all could also use something else.

Could use it, but he is usually Jungle and needs Smite. Flash is also pretty good.

I love cleanse against certain champs. Champs such as Annie or (idk if you can cleanse suppression or not) but Malzahar.

Its hard to use it in blind though.

The cooldown is way too long, and cleanse require you to get cc'ed to be useful, why use cleanse to remove cc when you can ghost to avoid getting cc'ed with much shorter cd?

other summoners are just more useful, cleanse is VERY situational

Very situational. It works in some games but in many it doesn't serve a purpose.

It's got a time and a place and with Mercurial Scimitar paying out for stats, it's not a terrible build and accomplishes the same effect. Meanwhile, you can't really replicate Flash or Ignite.
