But I feel like it’s a bit weaker and much more niche than Stun, Paralysis, Slow (that can be deadly). Silence is strong too since it can prevent escape abilities.
Make cleanse affect blind but buff every blind abilities by a little. Yay or nay?
Nay

I think Lamb of the Slaughter is a conditional silence, Only silenced while chained, which is the exception for silences.
But other silence effects like Sylvanas’ Wailing Arrow are unconditional silence effects, and I think those cannot be cleansed just like blinds

You can cleanse silence. In alpha and beta cleanse also removed blinds, But it was removed at some point with no explanation. I believe it’s due to devs changing mechanics. Originally cleanse removed all disabling effects and then granted 2s unstoppable. At some point they changed cleanse to grant 1s unstoppable But it no longer had the “remove all disabling effects”. For most part it made zero difference as blinds didn’t exist as Lili was the only hero with them and nobody ever played her as she had no real cleanse on those data(she had untargetable cleanse at 16). Jo, auriel, art and Cassia came way later as well as talents that granted blinds, most of which got later deleted due to how bad they were.

Some blinds for sure can’t be removed, for example I always instinctively cleanse allied AA’s who get hit by Suppression Pulse. But their autos still miss for 4 seconds despite being cleansed.
Not that I mind, the game needs hard counters vs strong auto attackers.
However there is one way to remove every single cc effect, even Dehaka’s vision loss: Divine Shield. Will also instantly remove any blinds.
It might be possible to remove every single blind with Lunara’s Abolish Magic. I never tried it on blinds though, just on stuns/roots.

All of them cant be removed (by Cleanse/Unstoppable). Imo, always been the case for Relentless/Cleansev1/Cleansev2, but it has been a while.
Invulnerability and Stasis remove/prevent all negative effects (not sure about Zags Maw) + Lunara/Quhura spin and few more little talents I dont remember right now.
Time Stop affects Invulnerability and Stasis. Lunara doesnt remove TS because you cant click CCd hero. Quhura turns out to be only hero in the game I can think of right now that is completely immune to TS.
Zags maw can catch heroes even with unstoppable effect
Can be fun to catch dem charging butchers when they focus you.
Yup, Zagara eats everything, even cleansed or Unstoppable heroes. Only exception is heroes who gain full invulnerability from Uther or Tyrael.

Cool, I actually wasnt sure if Maw eats Inv targets or not (and it shouldnt)
Lunara can be put in stasis mid-Leap.
Qhira’s E makes her “immune,” which is basically Invulnerability but you can be targeted. No effects can be applied to her during her E.
I was talking Abolish Magic here
Do you mean removing stasis?
Getting bit lost.
Im saying that
Invulnerability
Stasis
(+ all their weirder forms)
Quhura spin and Lunaras Abolish Magic
remove all negative effects (AA slows, armor debuffs, blinds etc), something Unstoppable doesnt do. In theory, mechanically, Abolish Magic also removes Stasis or Time Stop, but in reality it doesnt because you cant click on TS/Stasis ally.
I see now. But I don’t think stasis removes status effects, it just pauses them.
TS does that, Stasis removes them (or at least should). You can test it easly with Jainas Iceblock I guess.
Also btw, about what I said before. Quhura spin is the only mechanic/ability in the game irrc that makes hero immune to Time Stop. Inv will be still stopped.
it can be cleansed 
Stasis is actualy a CC that goes through cleanse. Unstoppable does not prevent stasis from affecting you.
Sure, a teammate can also affect you with a stasis which with most CC’s cannot be done. But on that, you can also displace teammates which is again a CC effect. So its not strange to count stasis as CC for that.
Also, there is a diffirence between stasis and stopped. Stasis (in many cases) still allows cooldowns to continue. Stopped often pauses those aswel (its not uniform within hots, but there definitely are diffirences).
And then there is a 3rd CC type that still counters a cleanse: Walls. you might be able to walk through most CC, a wall can still block you.
As far as i know Dehaka burrow can prevent all CC aswel. And when talented also allows him to move. There is no double stasis so as far as i know he can burrow under a timestop or void prison without any issues.
