Can we re-add what can be qss'd?

As the title suggest, item 3140 used to be able to cleanse the likes of Zed and Fizz ults. This was removed, because at the time (update 6.9 to be specific) these champs, among others, needed a full rotation to guarantee a kill with their target being at not full life.

With how much damage there is in the game, and how much overkill these kinds of champs have outside of their ult on these targets, i feel that adding the ability to cleanse these is appropriate again.

Usually in team fights, forcing a target to pop item 3140 and leaving them vulnerable to other cc (which is already a death knell for most champs anymore) should be reward enough for an ability that generally has less cooldown than item 3140

This would be replacing one issue (assassins dealing too much damage with a full rotation) with another (dependence on an item). I don't want to go back to the days when QSS was a required item because half of the roster had some important ability that needed to be cleansed.

The correct way of going about this has already been said in this thread, but it is worth repeating. Lower damage.

Or even better just reduce the damage

You're putting a bandaid on a chainsaw wound, here.

QSS isn't the problem.

The absolutely ludicrous state of damage in this game, combined with the pathetic state of mitigation is the problem.

I’d personally also like if QSS built into more items. Maybe an AP mage item and a tank item. That way I get to actually build another finished item when against Mal.

And for some reason, morde's ult can be cleansed by qss and rengar w

Guess rito james™ knows that's the only way for ADC players to continue playing league of legends when morde gets fed

I don't get the point of wanting QSS to remove Death Mark.

That'd require you to buy QSS (an MR item) against Zed (an AD assassin whose only magic damage is the bit from his passive).

I'd love if they did this, if only to free up a ban space.

Zed is banned in like half my games.

You can cleanse Morde's Ult, Cassy's Ult, Lissy's Ult.

I'd just like to be able to item 3140 and summoner 1 summoner 14 again honestly. It's such a toxic spell when the cooldown is as low as it is, especially when all champions are balanced around not having it despite using it in 99% of matches.

Items like QSS need to get deleted. It's a balancing crutch.

Strong ultimate created (like Morde's ult)

Designer 1 "do you think we should nerf it some" Designer 2 "yeah, let's make it so that QSS removes the ult"

Design team "yeah, then when players complain we can just tell them to do their homework and research the new mechanic and they should know when to spend the 1300 gold given the game state. They should just git gud and stop complaining about design and balance"
