Usability of cleanse

Marshbouy··1 votes·389 views

In bot lane i tend to die because of a massive cc chain (thresh hook, flay, jinx snare) and im wondering if taking cleanse would be more effective. I keep seeing this typed in chat, or typing it myself, when someone dies "i couldnt f**king move" and im wondering if taking cleanse could solve that issue. Any more experience players who care to explain why a spell like heal is better bot lane?

Because you can buy QSS after your first or second core item and it does the same thing cleanse does but better. It even works on suppression. If you buy QSS then you have heal in ADDITION to that. Sure it might make the lane phase rough still, but it's far better mid game and lategame.

Playing safe mobile champions can make the game very easy in the scenarios you listed, like ezreal and corki and Lucian can dodge skills and jump out of cc etc. I recommend trying them out.

i see where you are coming from but in my repeated experience that heal does little to nothing for me, maybe provides some extra sustain but thats about it. Im hoping some other summoners get buffed becasue i hate how the only used summoner spells are flash, heal, ignite, tp, smite, and sometimes ghost.

Honestly, When ever I play ADC. (which isn't often.) I can make use of the Heal's (ever so small) speed boost. occasionally, I would use it only for the speed boost. And if it helps secure a kill, It's worth.

Well for starters, Since heal affects a second person, it's inherently better in the Duo lane. (Why it's better on ADC than support, IDK) And yes, you have access to QSS which is better. And seeing as the Scimitar now has LS, there's little reason not to build it.

What surprises me is that I don't see Cleanse on more midlaners, And place where you can't typically get QSS, and where CC is a bit more prevalent. (especially when the CC is a lot more reliable like TF's Gold card.)

makes sense. Especially if you are a brand facing a malz, you cant build scimitar bc the stats are useless on brand aside from the magic resistance. gotta remember to build scimitar on my next kalista game

its not gonna do much in a chain cc sort of thing. it reduces them but as a squishie adc you will die anyway because of being in a duo lane. thats why only mid laners take it against champions that have cc. because its a solo lane nobody is gonna chain 2 cc at once.
