I just think that cleanse-type effects have a place to stay in league of legends. Perhaps, a smaller role, shared with additional options such as spellshields. While it is fun and raises the skill-cap required to play the game, I don't think EVERY ability and item needs to rely on reaction/aiming. Good old Ryze is still pretty fun and challenging, even though he has zero skillshots. Riot in their current form would never release a champion like that.

Okay, let's say you make the changes and we all get the option of spellshields only. How does an ADC counter death-sentences like Infinite Duress and Nether Grasp? Spell shields can't block those abilities easily (or can they at all?). You know they're dead set on landing it on you the moment the team fight breaks out.
