@Riot-balancingteam: Idea regarding Lee Sin's Balancing and Wardjumps
Hallo lol-community and hopefully some rioters
Lee Sin's balance has been kind of a hot topic for a very long time and after hearing in an interview with Morello (i think), that he will be nerfed again soon, i was wondering about something: All the time, there are statadjustments on Lee Sin, or things are taken away from his abilities, like bonus Armor/MR on his w or AS-reduction on his e. But i never saw a rioter talk about one particular thing. Wardjumps! If i remember correctly, wardjumps were not a thing when Lee Sin was released. therefore his mobility had a clear structure: if an enemy is near, you can jump if you hit your q and you can only jump to safety, if you have minions or allied champions nearby (making teamplay a important part, if you wanted to get safe out of the enemies jungle for example). But with the addition of wardjumps later on, he pretty much got a flash with a 14 second cd (less with cdr). Now a lot of people are/were complaining about Lee Sin's mobility, but i never saw a rioter talk about wardjumps, which are pretty much the reason, Lee Sin has such a high mobility. Without those, his mobility would be more or less something between Jax (although a little bit higher, because 2 abilities => lower cd). So here is my question/idea: How about, we remove wardjumps again from the game? It would fit Riots stance on givinghigh mobility some kind of condition (like yasuo: super mobile with tons of enemies around him but only able, to walk if noone is there). Lee Sins could still do their Insecs. They just can't do it as often, because either, they need to work together with a teammate, that dives with them (i.e. a Malph, that ulted in, or something like that) or they have to use their flash, which is on kind of a long cd then. This change would maybe make it possible again, to give Lee Sin some of his fightingstats back again (don't realy know, if needed, or not, but he was first designed as a toplaner and when did you last see a toplane Lee SIn/or a midlane Lee like Froggen did several years ago?). For all the People, that think, there would be no reason, to play Lee Sin after that change, because he could only Insec enemies lategame every 300 seconds: Kepp in mind that Annie is being played as support and lategame pretty much only has her flash-tibbers-combo to add to the team.
So. Please tell me, what you guys think about my idea. Hopefully some Rioter, like Morello etc could tell me, if this idea was at least discussed internaly and maybe tell us, why they don't want to do it.
Just as some sidenotes: 1st English is not my native language, so please be kind ;) 2nd I am not complaining about Lee Sin's power etc, but i would like to be able, to keep playing him without him only tunring into a Insec-bot lategame (remember, that Lee Sin was released as a Toplaner and only lateron switched into the jungle) 3rd please don't turn this into a hate thread about Lee, or even Nidalee (Nidalee is another hot topic imo)
Thx for reading through my wall of text and I'm looking forward to your oppinions Chrissxy1989
