To make sure Lee couldn't recover from the kneecapping that would follow 2 patches later.

alot of the player base cried that having to build /buy sightstone as a support was unfair and a gold trap cuz they were delayed into getting damage items. at this time ap damage supports were coming strong, brand, zyra, lux, etc and they didnt want to have to spend 800 gold on a SS cuz they couldnt get their 'core" damage items to 'carry"
