Edit: In Diamond, Ezreal is apparently in almost every second game statistically...holy fucking shit this dude's exploring the rift...
Death by Glamour2 votesSince the weekend?
Lee has been buffed every time he falls out of the meta, yet recieves no nerfs when the meta changes to favour him over the other junglers.
Just look at what is happening to elise (again) and what happened to sejauni and gragas.
RedCyclone2 votesEzreal has been popular for 2 weeks
Lee has been popular for FOUR FUCKING YEARS ALMOST NONSTOP (thanks cinderhulk for the breath of fresh air)
We know Ezreal is going to be nerfed soon Problem is, we know Lee sin isn't

Problem: Ez has been steadily gaining steam for longer than 2 weeks.
Lee Sin has been continually proving that he's more akin to Thresh: Popular as hell because he can do so many things, but is hard enough to tap into to keep him from being overbearing on the general masses playing this game no matter how much you hate him regardless. Thresh would be up for a nerf before Lee Sin if we looked at it logically, tbh.

chipndip12 votesRiot does a decent job of nerfing ezreal when he gets too strong. Riot waits 2 years to nerf lee sin when he gets too strong. That is why there is such a big difference in reaction.
Ez has BEEN gaining huge steam ever since "Gut the Freelo Explorer" started going around recently. I only made a thread about it because it finally peaked. Ezreal at this point is basically even more meta-defining than even Thresh and Lee Sin at the moment.
Lee Sin is popular, yes, but his win rates are even lower than Thresh's. Still, much like Yasuo, people want him nerfed anyway. I haven't seen a time where Lee necessarily warranted nerfs ever since I started playing a bit over a year ago.
I know you're a Diamond and I should tread carefully while back-talking, but from what I've observed, Ezreal has exploring dat freelo like a dude exploring prostitutes in the red light district: he's gonna be grinning ear to ear by the time we see him again.
Alamand1 votesLee hate isn't based off of win rates tho. Its based off of players who just don't like how often they play against him especially since the bad lee players are getting better and betterbetter as time goes on
Remlap12231 votesThere's a very simple reason as to why Lee Sin gets treatment like this. He's popular in eSports, and Riot considers him a healthy champion. And that's not going to change no matter how much the boards menstruates about it.
If Lee Sin was as powerful as people say he is, he would be permabanned like Kassadin was. IDK why the boards is so up in arms about a champion like Lee being so popular, because his kit isn't inherently toxic, nor is it as easy as everyone says it is to play.
Just downvote the blatant upvote farming and move on is what I say. It's what I do. Or better yet, if you're looking to upvote farm yourself, call out the upvote farming for what it is, and put a picture of Nasus by it.
MunchCrunchLunch1 votesthe problem is. lee sin is just anti-fun to play against. meanwhile ezreal is a fun champ just to see his skillshots and all.
