Metal skin/Unstoppable but for damages debuffs

Honestly kind of surprised we haven’t gotten something like this yet. So as most of you know debuffs are a bit strong as of late and realistically the only counter to things like mirage stacks, infernus burn, or siphon bullets is dispel magic but that item only cleanses the debuffs you CURRENTLY have and not the debuffs that get reapplied 2 seconds after using dispel magic. So my idea, someone could’ve already suggested this in which case I apologize, is simply just metal skin but dispel magic; have this item use dispel magic as a component with a 5.5 second duration with a 65 second cooldown like unstoppable. Item names could be Holy water, Magic Barrier, or Purifier.
 
I do think an item like this would have a lot of overlap with Unstoppable. Metal skin gives you immunity to bullets, but not from the effects they can apply. Unstoppable gives you immunity to applied status effects (even siphon bullets!), but doesn't prevent them from building up. I like the idea on paper, but I think it would be awfully strange to have two unstoppable esque items to cover all status effect bases w/o covering them all at once.

I still think the idea of giving dispel magic a few seconds grace to continuously clear/deny all debuffs would be nice though, like 1-2s. Kinda like how counterspell can multiparry several different abilities in quick succession. You could also use the grace period to preemptively clear curses from relic, talon, and apollo ult which could be a fun method of expressing skill.
