Supports would love this.
Not that much,
is universally solid and supports can already grab
.
It's also worth noting most marksman just don't have anything worth cleansing, and a lot of supports deliver types of CC or sudo CC that cannot be cleansed, as cleanse doesn't do anything vs. pulls, knockbacks, knockups, slowing fields, blinding fields, or suppression.
So: 100% useless vs.
.
Well - you can cleanse the 0.5 second Blitzcrank Silence, but really. That does not make Cleanse worth it, he can use that every 30 seconds compared to 3 minutes.
Even when
gets mega-CC potential in
;
is still 100% useless vs. him.
Also: biggest threat you're usually trying to save a squishy from as a support is an assassin, and assassins usually have the weakest CC in the game. While you could technically remove the fraction-of-a-second slow Talon applies and reduce his damages by 10% with perfect timing (oh man), no assassin is reliant on CC enough that Exhaust isn't simply better. Also worth noting Cleanse vs QSS/Crucible/Scimitar differs in effectiveness in that Cleanse cannot remove non-CC debuffs and it cannot remove Suppression, while the items can remove a wide range of non-CC debuffs as well as suppression.
This in effect makes Cleanse a poor summoner vs. the mark effects applied by
, while the cleanse items can at least remove those marks.
In which case:
exist.
Also: biggest issue I have with cleanse ATM is the (lack) of QoL features it has.
Mikeal's has a projectile that's fairly slow and unresponsive, leading to a lot of frustrating scenarios using it's active: especially seeing as the difference between 1 frame can mean a 0% CC duration effect and instant-cleanse or 100% CC duration from blowing the effect a fraction of a second to early. Cleansing a CC duration that's been in effect for 70% of it's total time is also fairly useless and a sub-optimal way to spend a 3 minute CD.
