Seriusly, R-Q-Q, dead. I barely ever even see him even weaving in autos or other skills anymore as he used to have to. So what is it that actually takes so much skill with this champ?

because you don't want to kick a 4k health malphite in to your team, and you need to have the reflexes to kick an assassin away from your carry, preferably in the right direction too. also, he falls off a bridge in terms of effectiveness after like ... 20 minutes so you have to play the early game real well with him.

yeah, you want to kick the 4k health malphite into their team, because %bonus hp collision damage

His fast reaction times required to pull of high-level plays. Such as the bait in and out jump thing people do where you see him jump instantly onto a cmapion then right back to something else, just to name 1.

Not related to how tough Lee is but does the in/out jump ever actually do anything? Whenever I see a Lee do it nobody reacts and he looks like he just decided to make a "lol look at this funny thing Lee can do" play. The missile speed on his dash isn't that fast, so you don't need to use any major cooldowns in reacting until it's clear he's not gonna W back. If someone uses a major cooldown on Lee's dash before he commits to it then they've made a serious error and that won't happen with good players.

If he's close enough to R a squishy then something's wrong here. Going by that logic annie would be op too, since she can just land a massive pedobear that stuns, follow up with q w to kill you before stun runs out.

Initiation ults need good mechanics and input speed. We've all seen the Lee Sin players who flash behind someone to ult and can't actually organise their fingers to ult the person they want to until like two seconds after they arrive and they're just woeful. His ult late is pretty subpar unless it's being used to kick someone into your team. On top of that, good target selection and timing is obviously necessary. Kicking away someone who was about to die is obviously woeful and kicking a tank into your team is equivalent to the Blitzcrank hook on Amumu.

Obviously you need to be capable of landing skillshots, too. This isn't a big deal because Lee's Q is comparatively easy to hit for a colliding linear skill but you'd be surprised how many Lee players just don't understand the concept of aiming abilities. I assume it's because they're used to playing other AD champions like Yi who don't have skillshots or at least aren't reliant on them. Of course, this is nothing that doesn't apply moreso to junglers like Elise and especially Nidalee.

Obviously it's not very hard for RQQ combos to 100-0 people but that's something that doesn't really happen that often - it's rare that I see a Lee Sin 1v1 someone after 15-20 minutes.
