Some pros use it on champions like Vayne, if you have the reflexes (and know there's abilities on the enemy team worth removing) than it can be an ok ability.
Cleanse has a few glaring issues and weaknesses compared to other summoners though:
- You can easily miscast Cleanse. Cleanse isn't like Katarina's ultimate where it's disabled until you actually have valid targets, so activating Cleanse 0.001 seconds before the game registers taking a CC effect means you put Cleanse on it's monsterous cooldown and ate some CC to the face.
By comparison - casting Barrier before you get hit is preferable, though Barrier will still aid in any fallow-up after eating something bad.
Heal allows players with the reflexes of a potato to make a skill they ate not matter.
- You can cast any summoner spell (that doesn't grant mobility) while under the effects of every single type of CC outside of Silence or Suppression.
If you're feared, charmed, stunned, knocked-up, pulled, flung, rooted, blinded - you can still cast:
{{summoner:2}}
as well.
This is also why champions like Malzahar and Katarina can cast things like Ignite after they ult.
- Cleanse's actual purpose. Cleanse doesn't remove all types of CC despite it's purpose being removing CC. Suppression, Knock-ups, pulls, flings, and knock-backs cannot be removed. You also can't remove things that aren't attached to you, like the slowing fields applied by a wide number of mages (or even Iceborne Gauntlet), as well as the walls created by Trundle, J4, or Anivia, or the smoke-screen created by Graves, among other terrain-based CC or sudo-CC effects. For whatever reason you can actually remove the DoT of Ignite - but you can't remove non-CC debuffs in almost every other case with Cleanse. Darius's Bleed, Malzahar's space aids, Teemo's Toxic Shot, Mordekaiser's Children of the Grave - these are things Cleanse has no effect on. QSS draws a distinct difference from Cleanse in that it does, in fact, remove such debuffs.
So, it's entirely possible to run into an entire team with heavy reliance on CC and debuffs Cleanse is completely useless against, despite it's purpose being the removal CC based debuffs:
This wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact a decent number of champions don't even have CC:
Or have a really weak form of CC that's not worth removing:
The only saving factor here is you can remove the slowing portion of Exhaust (but not the damage reduction portion) with Cleanse, so you'll probably have something to use it for.
If you practice using Cleanse you could eventually get to the point where knowing how to do so is a pretty big asset, especially if you can immediately eradicate an otherwise game-changing CC in an instant. Consistancy, probability, and even the game mechanics themselves are going to significantly harm your chances of making that happen though.
TLDR: Cleanse kind of sucks.
