LEE SIN NEEDS BUFFS (read before commenting)

Edited: Hotarm brought up a good point. Buffing his resistances instead of his damage would be a good direction to go in, if rito intends lee sin to be a fighter.

Champions that have a high skill ceiling are often miss-balanced. Lee is no exception. However, when the uncontested hardest champion in the game to play has a win-rate well below 50% for the highest ranking players.... it's pretty obvious something is wrong. Here are some things to consider:

• Champions that require no skill out-bursting lee (an assassin) at all stages of the game with SIMILAR farm.

• Lee has an abysmal win rate in professional play (0% this season in NA LCS, less than 30% the season previous), where theoretically the players are of the highest caliber.

• The list of champions that counter lee (with a delta over 2%) continue to grow (current 38 according to u.gg).

Here's the problem: almost every champion in the game has cc, and cc makes lee's kit useless. He's an assassin that does less dmg than all the other assassins, yet has more mobility to make up for it. When assassins are doing badly, notice that champions with sufficient dmg always stay relevant (Leblanc, Talon, etc). Lee is not one of those, since he relies entirely on mobility to succeed.

There are only two ways to get a kill (without KS-ing) on lee. You either have to out-play your opponent so badly that none of their skills hit, or you have to have enough farm/feed to one-shot them. When the enemy team is composed of champions with hard-cc, you're forced to wait out CDs to be able to unleash your strength. In the meantime, your team is essentially 4v5ing. This leads to an enormous amount of loses, and very few champions that are viable to play alongside a lee sin. In solo/duo queue, you're very rarely going to have a teammate interested in complimenting YOUR pick of Lee sin.

Just some thoughts. A lee without dmg feels like crap to play. This isn't 2017, where lee was broken. If you can't think rationally about champion balancing, don't bother commenting i don't care what you have to say.
