Unpopular Opinion: Cleanse is Broken

Cleanse is literally the most broken summoner spell behind flash. It takes some skill, but its can replace QSS in most cases, negate the effects of ignite exhaust and the slow of chilling smite. It also has basically tenacity for 3 seconds after use. You can escape ganks and CC chains and also use it to make a Captain Jack Montage :)

How would you change cleanse to be balanced instead of complaining about its functions?

Cleanse isn’t broken simply because it can’t remove suppression’s. So it can’t take the slot over qss

No one said that Cleanse is bad or broken. It always depend on the situation because it has a niche place.

Let me ask you this; if cleanse was broken, why do we barely see that summonner spell in games? Wouldn't it be a must if it's broken ?

This sumonner spell is generally taken by ADC's and mid laners. But would they sacrifice heal/ignite/teleport for cleanse ?

What if you were against Leblanc or Zed ? Wouldn't you prefer barrier or heal ? What if you were against Morgana and Ashe ? You sure would prefer cleanse

cleanse isnt broken though it uses a heal/ignite at least its a meta breaker summoner spell if anything almost no one use it. i use it vs veigar or anyone else who has unescapeable stuns where in JUST in range to touching him.

You just answered yourself lol. Your topic is : Cleanse is Broken .

You just literally explained why Cleanse isn't broken by saying all those examples.

  1. Hard to use summoner spell for low division players
  2. SITUATIONAL.
  3. Pressure during early phase is more important
  4. Some champions only takes ignites

I've played high elo games, and no cleanse is not always taken against Zoe. There's absolutely no purpose for a tank champion to have Cleanse Bruisers would prioritize mercury tread Adc's would rely on QSS or Crucible from their support. Junglers take smite by default.

If anything Tenacity as a stat needs buffing or crowd control needs an across the board nerf.

After playing vs Neeko Lux botlane and rushing Mercury's Treads you're still crowd controlled for an eternity.
