Could you please stop complaining that Lee Sin is being too popular?

Cuz you know why he is popular? Because he is interesting to play. The same reason for Invoker being popular in Dota - he is strong, hard to REALLY master (learning how to q-q-r is not being good Lee, or even learning to insec) but rewarding.

You know who is not popular? , you know why? cuz he is boring as hell.

Also there are people who enjoy game only when they can master something hard, Lee is hard, that is why many people like to play him. When you learn Lee, you get better at many other champs.

And he already got his nerf. Or is it not enough? Please, tell me. Would you like him to be useless? Lets nerf him to state. Than you happy? Or may be we make other champs popular by making them acually playble and interesting?

Please, don't tell me about "oooh, it is so easy to q-q-r = kill" because it is not enough to be usefull Lee Sin. May be in bronze or silver, but not higher. If you really want to tell me that Lee is easy - please, give your stats on him, your league, replays and everything to show that you he is so easy.

People complain about him a lot, myself included, but I don't believe for a moment that he is overtuned, or incredibly powerful.

It's the fact that he's just plain annoying to play against, most of the time, and we've seen so much of him over the last few years. We're just sick to the back teeth of seeing him.

Also, one of the older arguments for Lee Sin being a little overtuned, and powerful in the right hands, was that you had to be really good with him in order to do devastating things. People have had years to practice with him, so that argument doesn't hold water anymore, and that has led to him being hit a little.

The same thing goes for Yasuo and Zed. They're not overtuned. We're just tired of them.

And Nunu is not boring to play, he's absolutely hilarious. Slaps and snowballs, man, slaps and snowballs. You just don't care what happens, it's all slaps and snowballs. And devastating them with your ultimate. Or not. He also isn't popular because he doesn't bring a lot of damage to the team despite his ridiculous objective control, and look at who most of the popular junglers are right now: high damage dealers. And Ivern.

Picked right from champion.gg, in order of popularity: LeeSin Graves Khazix Elise Shaco Hecarim Rengar Ivern

This game has 120+ champions. If one of them is picked on average once in every 3 games then it isn't just because he's fun. For example, Zed is still a blast to play and has tons of outplay potential. We used to see him almost as much, but after nerfs he sits at 13% pick rate - 1/3rd of Lee's. They didn't reduce his fun factor but his power - and voila, he is not picked that much. Or take Riven. She's an extremely fun champion with tons of mobility and outplay potential which also comes with high skill floor - similar to Lee. Yet she's picked in 12% of games - again, 3 times less often than Lee. Even the actually overturned fun champions like Kha'Zix see half the play Lee does.

Anyhow, as soon as 10 bans hit live I'm not letting that bastard in my game ever again. I've had more than enough of his overloaded ass and Riot's blatant favouritism for next 20 seasons.

His play rate is 33%. He is most picked at jg. SO, yea, ppl are going to complain that he is played too much...cause he is (on average).

If any of this was true Gangplank, Aurelion Sol and such would be the most played Champions BY FAR, yet they sit on shit playrate, you know why? Because the main reason that makes people play Lee Sin is that he is a lot stronger than the rest of champions.
