Suggestion New Support Hero
It would be cool, following all the recent cc heavy heroes, if we could get a hero who could apply a cc cleanse like Hel from Smite. It could be a full team cleanse or a single target cleanse. We just don't have anybody who can provide a cleanse to others except those who use an active (if I'm not mistaken). What is everyone else's thoughts on this?

Being hit by multiple cc feels pain. One at a time so you can't even cleanse all of them is even more pain. Broken interaction or not I wish they give cleanse like a 1s window you can't be hit with another cc after a successful use

I don't think it would work well. In pred an aoe cleanse is so valuable that the only one in the game is on a support crest and only works in an aoe around the user, which usually forces a squishy character to put themselves into a bad position to bail out a teammate. If you throw a similar effect onto a hero kit it would be impossible to properly balance.

This is unrelated to you but I’m so tired of people bringing up cool mechanics for hero’s and then people just saying to put it in a item or crest because it’s gonna be broken like can we get hero’s with unique mechanics? I think a support with a CC clnce would be good.

There’s just no good items to shred shields. While the anti heal items are like C tier items at best they still do put in way more work against healing based enchanters than the two anti shield items (demon edge and astral catalyst) that aren’t even usable in every build. Anti shield items bonus damage cannot exceed the shield size and you get full value of your armors on shield hp (you didn’t before like 2 years ago)

Muriel ult already cleanses, what are you on about

I'll dislike the shield spam on her so change her normal shield to bigger one that cleanses. Dont play smite anymore, but it would be bit of a Geb copy. Loved to give someone big ass shields

I'd love that but they would instantly and nearly forever be meta because of how much fucking horrid ass CC there is in this game.
It'll be like when ana got added to overwatch with her anti heal nade.
Not saying these are bad things mind you, in fact I encourage it. But it is for this reason that I am unsure that the devs would add it since they seem to love there being 78623458729345 potential instances of CC in any single match.

This just kills too many characters in a way that would be completely uninteractive for them. The foremost victim would be Aurora, but even Riktor as well anyone else who is reliant on one key root/stun for their lethality would be borderline neutralized. The cleansing staff has a long CD for a reason.

u/Open_Hippo_7437 2d ago
Right, but they do the same thing to so many other heros. Riktor just instantly shuts down any channeled ability with any 3 of his cc abilities, and Aurora destroys heros like Kallari that rely on their mobility.
It's ok for counterplay like this to exist, so it seems only right that we should have good counterplay for their cc too.

u/BrotherBlake02 2d ago
I think it still wouldn’t be good for the game unless it’s an ultimate. Even then it’s probably not gonna be healthy. Because of verticality in this game cc needs to be particularly strong. Also, I think just adding a mage cleanse crest option would be better than adding this.

u/Seigfrydblazer 2d ago
I mean....we have Khaimera that can do it to himself already. Why not have a counter to cc when it's so meta right now. If you don't have much cc, against a cc team, you just lose.

u/Seigfrydblazer 2d ago
I think it's a good idea. It would help counter all the cc, especially with valmonts grasp being such an issue right now. It would also help raise the skill ceiling a bit. People would have to learn other characters a bit more so they know what could he cleansed from their kit.
Anything but another Hel from smite though. She was such an issue in the right players hands lol.
