lol someone downvoted... yah i lied cleanse is so good thats why its never picked

People don't pick it because there's safer options. People usually tend to go for spells that provide offense, like Ignite, Exhaust (which can be used for defence too); and spells like Heal offer more. It's still good if you're confident enough to pick it.

Flash and Ghost can be used both ways, offense and defence.

"Removes all disables and summoner spells affecting your champion and reduces the duration of all incoming disables by 65% for 3 seconds." I really can't think of a single logical use for this outside of the 1v1 feature. Before level 6 you can cleanse morg's Bind, but level 6 and after you're still bound by her delayed ult, it may not even be shortened for how long it takes to land.

Its still not worth picking they could atleast buff it... or would that be too OP

Well I'm no LoL professional, but even if they increased the "reduces the duration" part from 3 to 5 seconds it would still go unpicked. There are just better options for a team-based game.

If they wanted to make Cleanse interesting, they could allow it to target allies. Then it could be, at the very least, a supports alternative to Mikael's. I'd still be skeptical to give up Exhaust/Flash for it as Soraka, but if I were a Bard player in that scenario, I'd consider Exhaust/Cleanse.

It runs the same idea as Flash.

It's a get-out-of-jail card on a long CD.

But Flash's utility when compared is so much higher.

Cleanse also doesn't ensure you will live. That bit of CC just stopping you for a split second is all it takes to die.

It also has the Revive effect. While it's a powerful summoner, it could end up never getting used if you just avoid getting CC'd(dying in Revive's case). Having the potential of being never used is bad for a summoner.

Last, all suppression moves are countered with team work. All are over a duration and also CC the person using it. That's why Malz isn't crazy OP in every LCS game. A big part of what makes him powerful is his ulti. Anything past lanning phase he will feed all game in a pro match because they know how to teamwork.

Cleanse isn't weak because it doesn't remove everything. It's weak because it may never get used. It doesn't actually help you escape a lot of situations. And it's actually a weak combat summoner. Heal/Barrier will bring more benefits. Cleanse might make it so you can do 1 more AA in that 1.5s you were stunned. But Heal will keep you alive for the same thing while also providing a speed boost and you can use it on a second person for the same thing.

It should provide CC(excluding suppression) immunity for 1s(ranged) and 1.5-2s(melee). This would actually counter the dive happy CC crazed bot lane support meta we've had for a year and a half now.

This would also allow someone to predict CC and prevent it. And it would probably be a great summoner for other types of champions. ADC's are generally the only ones who even think of picking it up. Janna might not be such a massive peel master if that Renekton can now use this to get through her CC.
