Is apoc bugged or am I misinterpreting something

Greed_Exodus

I was using apoc for the cheelith boss, and she was still purifying his debuffs with 4 charges, am I missing something here?

The function is the same but it's not technically a purify.

From my understanding, I unfortunately haven't fought her yet but I'm pretty sure she has cleanse in her kit, so Apoc can still have his debuffs cleansed but he can not have his debuffs taken away from tenacity like agent venom, crossbones, kingpin, etc

Yeah despite the description of Cleanse, Apoc's stuns get purified by any champ with Cleanse (Jabari, Zemo, etc). Not sure why it makes sense but I suppose Cleanse was added to the game to counter Apoc.

Cleanse is the way for the skill class to counter Apoc's anti purify abilities like some in the cosmic class can counter nullify
However other anti purify abilities like Bishop, the storms and toad still work on cleanse

Cleanse is not the same as purify. Apoc stops purify but not cleanse.

Bishop clears her easy.

I think you meant to "nerf" Apoc, not counter him.

Yes cleanse was first brought in with Jabari panther as an anti-Apoc mechanic and Chee'ilth has it.

purify is not the same as Purify. Apoc works on Purify but not purify, which is what cleanse does
