Can i ask if anyone knows why cleanse is still in SR but clarity isn't? i feel like cleanse right now is useless seeing as its only good for certain kinds of cc. But clarity is very useful considering it gives mana. This won't change anything but i feel un-satisfied with clarity being gone and cleanse is still here. I NEED ANSWERS THAT SOUND LEGIT pls.
No one in their right mind takes 
in real games on SR, to be frank. There are WAY more than enough items that aide in Mana Regen and filling that do a way better job with other benefits. there are not many in-game items right now that provide as much use as 
are the only items that are remotely close, and they only work for about half the champions that need such a utility, typically.
Cleanse isn't good for "certain kinds of CC," it's good for all of them except suppression, which can only be stopped by interrupting the champion applying it. It also gives you 65% Tenacity for 3 seconds, meaning any disables (again except suppression) being applied afterward have their duration completely trashed. Further, it removes things like 
, and has the same cooldown as it, so you can really screw champions like 
that tend to Charm > Ignite for all-ins.
Clarity, meanwhile — restores some mana. Controlling your ability usage and mana consumption is an integral part of improving at the game, and Clarity, frankly, just encouraged people to keep being bad at it and not improve. It warped the ability to balance base mana and mana regeneration. It's useful in Twisted Treeline where recalling isn't a thing, but that's it.
