So the point of this is simple. Riot, you really should rethink the mechanic of having cleanse, get rid and prevent time bombs on a target. Cleanse is for debuffs, and debuffs alone. I understand the time bomb mechanic probably works like a debuff, but it isn't. All it does is damage. No other nuke is prevented by cleanse. There should be no reason that this is. It really makes Zilean very lackluster when he can't do his bomb combo. It's annoying enough having it against him because of his slow, but also his nuke?

Just to restate, Time Bomb is not a debuff! Cleanse should not get rid of it!
