Motivation
Buying Dispel Magic is a no brainer into many drafts, and with the prevalence of other debuff cleansing interactions like Divine Barrier I think an anti-cleanse item is warranted. The purpose of it is to make people give a second thought before pressing their dispel. The item applies a debuff that does nothing unless it is cleansed at any point during its duration, if it is cleansed it applies some kind of negative effect or damage to the victim. I'll provide an example item for each category.
Gun - Hextouch
Passive
Your next Melee attack against an enemy applies a hex that curses and deals damage to that enemy if it is cleansed before its duration elapses. Heavy Melee doubles the duration.
Green - Holy Relic
Active
Apply an aura on a target that debuffs enemies within range. An enemy that is cleansed while affected by the aura is cursed and has their outgoing damage reduced.
Spirit - Unstable Hex
Active
Hex an enemy target causing them to turn into a frog and take spirit damage if the hex is cleansed before its duration elapses.
