So it's ok for Lee to rush a longsword and become a dueling god?

InsaneSamurai··22 votes·2,239 views

It's just a longsword, and that's all he needs to outdamage pretty much any champ he runs into. Lets not forget he can also outrun anyone in the game under just about any circumstance. How is this alright? I'm really tired of Lee dominating and making other jungle picks not viable, hasn't he been like this long enough?

yes it has. lee is balanced. all the high elos think so as well. seeing as you arent high elo, your opinion doesn't matter to that many people other than the scrubs who continue to lick their salt off by complaining about lee. if you want lee nerfed, you nerf orianna and fizz. yes lee is a different role, but ori excels at mid. so you wanna complain about a champ overcrowding others, pick on ori and fizz.

Have you won money in a game tournament? I have. Gotten a game into mlg? I have Organized large scale tournaments? I have

Congratulations you are a high elo player, but no one cares because you speak like a bronze lord. All you did was ad hominem and offer nothing besides "my elo". Even the pros know lee sin is dominating the jungle, and riot, and they are a ton more knowledgeable over the subject than you.

Til then, you're nothing more than those you insult, a scrub lord.

To.flip things on you orianna is balanced and pro players and riot think so too. The only people who agree with you are scrubs looking to lick salt off your crack.

Lee sin is pick or ban and no one else. Thst is the definitionof overcentralization of the extreme.

yes lee is strong in the jungle, but because other junglers are weak. so you blame lee for riots balancing on other junglers? use some logic before trying to question mine. and no i didnt say anything about "my elo" i was talking about challengers, but yet again you wanted to insult me so you brought me up as well. orianna is balanced as well, just like lee. so people who complain about lee should complain about ori as well. but thats not happening, know why? because you idiots are just a bunch of bandwagon riding salt licking players. lee is never banned in my elo, its most liekly fizz and akali.

Since strength is relative, this makes lee strong as all others are weak in comparison. What are you trying to prove? Is lee balanced on some ancient and useless standard?

in a rare case, a champ in this game is actually balanced. in this case its lee. everyone else has been nerfed far too much. lee got nerfed in the correct way. ask for buffs for champs like elise, not for nerfs like lee. its only easier and makes more sense.

no its not. lets say you have 2 friends. friend #1 is more giving than #2. lets stop talking to #2 is your solution? its better for all of the champs to be balanced rather than nerf someone who is already balanced just so you can shut up.

No but i'd ask friend 1 to stop making friend two feel bad with his superior generosity. It's like having a poor person and a rich one. The poor one will inevitably be less liked.

Who ever said that calling you a douche isn't insulting? Honest question, is English your first language, since it does not seem like you understand much of what is being discussed. Highest level of play means professional play, challenger play, baically that the character isn't being played incorrectly or poorly.

It didn't but I didn't have time to address your faulty analogy. Imagine you had 1 rich friend and 10 poor ones. The poor ones are working for the rich one, who refuses to do anything to improve the situation. Instead of sharing the wealth, every time one of the workers receive a raise, the rich one protests because it marginally competes with him.

"People who.lost to lee sin are the only ones wanting to.nerf him" That logic when you forget riot wants to nerf.him and pros acknowledge him as the best.pick period.

His.kit is horribly toxic. Too much mobility and too much utility and damage giving him no wesknesses to exploit.

Vi? She goes all in and does.not.escape. Reksai? All in 1, form.of cc Pantheon? All in and only 1 cc

first of all, try repeating what you typed in english, not gibberish. second of all, lee sin is easy as hll to focus in a teamfight, if he ward hops, thats 2.5/4 of his energy right there, he either kicks u towards his team if you are that stupid or he kicks u away, he uses e if he manages to get near you( the adc) if ur team doesnt know how to hit cc on him, he uses q on u if ur that stupid to not be able to dodge the easiest most predictable skillshot in the game. get real and get good before trying to make him sound hard to vs. panth does stupid ass damage and gets a free block, no complaining?

Hrmm, I guess everyone in the LCS must be bronze status considering they've been kicked to the front line, Q'ed, ward hopped into a kick and E'd. That isn't a discussion of Lee Sin as a champion, you are discussing behaviors of a player which does not belong in the discussion. When you compare the kit Lee sin possesses vs Jarvan, Vi, Rek'Sai, Kha'Zix, there isn't any reason to pick them over Lee Sin.

You've offered nothing to the discussion besides ad hominems. Before you tell anyone to get good, get Challenger at the very least, at least then you'll have something besides your inability to articilate an argument

no, if lee manages to land his q on you, its not because HES broken, its because you misplayed. its not lees fault he kicked u when u had 150 hp, its becaue YOU messed up. you blame all your faults on lee then all these people begin to believe they are gods and no one should be able to touch them.

This is the problem with your argument Max, you are not discussing Lee Sin, you are discussing the player behind Lee Sin. "Lee Sin is not overpowered, or overcentralizing in anyway, because if any of his abilities landed, YOU messed up."

Pardon but, this is a poor argument and doesn't work because it can be bounced back at you.

"Lee Sin is overpowered, and overcentralizing, because with a good player, he can land all of his abilities."

That is stupid, and nonsensical, and does not work in reality because it would suggest all of the LCS is bad at the game. They are at a much higher level than yourself first of all, and it is stupid to suggest that anytime Lee sin is successful other people messed up. It can be stated for any champion including those who were horribly broken on release.

We discuss Champions, not the player, and that is something that Riot and LCS pros recognize. Lee Sin is a dominant force, because he is Lee Sin, not because the player behind him makes him what he is. LCS pros recognize it, RIot recognizes it, high elo players recognize it.

When you can actually discuss Lee Sin, not the player's, I'll gladly discuss it with you, but you're just too biased and quick to attack anyone who opposes your viewpoint.

If Elise has a sunfire and a liandry's at level 2, i'm pretty sure you deserve to be dived and die in 2 shots.

Lee is considered god tier in LCS... and absolutely nowhere else (rightly, at least). He's not bad by any stretch of the imagination, but I don't think I've seen him banned a single time above silver (and that was probably me, not wanting a silver Lee on the team).

Yeah, Lee has been consistently strong for a long time, but he's never really been a problem in the same way WW and Rammus were recently. So have a bunch of junglers though (Vi, Fiddles, Jarvan), the boards just complain about Lee because he's so prominent in LCS (which I won't comment on because LCS is pretty much a whole different game so idgaf). And even if he has always been the top jungler, we all know this game is too complicated for Riot to control it perfectly, so I'd just say that it's a good decision by them to leave him like that and not risk his spot being taken by WW or Mumu or something much less interesting to play against.

Actually Lee is played by 98% main junglers of challenger (or is second pick OR the jungle pick of filler challengers).

So yeah, he isn't just prominent he excels at high lvl play. Lee has no weakness, even the "falls late game" can be adressed by a insec that doesn't even have to get someone out of position. Q to front line, ward hop to backline, insec the adc or the APC and you traded your life for the other team APC and maybe even more, since you kick CCs anyone was protecting the backline.

Try to do the same with renek (the "falls off late game king") probably you can zone the adc and you will get thorn apart if you're not fed, still lee has more utility, more mobility (aaaaand reach) and can duel better than renek (he is way more slippery if he get's out of position). I won't even compare with shaco.. his late game is bullshit.

Lee Sin takes skill to learn, but when you learn him, he's pretty untouchable, which makes him difficult to handle. All of the other junglers with escapes (like Elise) have their escapes nerfed in the name of "balance." Elise's Cocoon and Rappel have been getting consistently nerfed, yet Lee Sin, who can practically move in, kill, then escape in one rotation won't get touched. It becomes a glaring problem when the balance team refuses to touch a champion but consistently nerf nearly all the others just because he's popular. Sure, some will lament balance changes, but if the changes are subtle and not an overall change to how he plays, then it's not so much a big deal. As a side note, I often wonder how popular he actually is. Since he has been left to run rampant and win so much, you have to question if he is truly liked or merely a side effect of bloated stats/kit that make him OP and thus desirable by those seeking an easy win.

Yeah, champ popularity is almost entirely decided based on strength anyway. Lee's been a favorite for a long time because he's been at the top of the heap for a long time. Variety is good :)
