The Possession effect can be cleansed, though, and there's a full turn where the opponent doesn't get AP or move the champ while it's possessed.
that's what I thought, I placed a cleansing emerald next to a possessed champ and it wasn't cleansed. But forget about corrupted soul and let's focus on Doom. How about limiting Doom to 1x per bg because playing against Doom spam is just plain obnoxious.
Cleansing Emerald only cleanses friendly champions; Possessed champions count as enemy champions. It's WAI, it's WAD, it's just complicated.
Wow, the spell is pretty good now. Honestly I'd like to see it played a lot before calling anything(although it does seem ultra over the top).
Fun fact, Doom was considered shoebox-bad when it first came out. Its only change since then has been a +5 nora nerf.
banish is terrible, the refund is ridiculous just like on rebound. the devs are clueless when it comes to the gameplay/game balance, most stupid stuff like this will never be addressed. smh. the game needs more players, more funding, and a bigger staff.
They are actually quite different in terms of why you would cast them. Banish doesn't see much play now with increased Shrine Health and Avatars (and generally better spell choices in UD), but it used to be a fairly staple spell.
