Sick and tired of people saying that lee sin is overpowered

Learning Sponge··5 votes·708 views

I have been lurking these boards for a while and I see a lot of people complaining about lee sin. In my opinion he is not overpowered at all. He is well balanced, probably even weak compared to the top tier junglers like Rek Sai, Sejuani, Vi, Jarvan ect.

He is only strong early, but if he does not snowball in the early game he is fairly useless and not strong at all in team fights. When the enemy team picks Lee I am always happy because it means our team has a pretty good chance of winning if he doesn't do well within the first twenty minutes.

This is the only forum that really has a problem with Lee. On reddit and pretty much everywhere else people seem to agree he isn't even the strongest jungler anymore. Even in LCS he is rarely banned or picked because there are just way better options. It just seems people have circle jerked the notion that Lee Sin is this super overpowered champ here and people are beginning to think it is true.

If they nerf Lee his win rate will be amongst the lowest of junglers. I think he is in a good spot right now and could even use minor buffs because junglers like Sejuani are much more viable picks then him right now.

The instant you say Lee is useless in teamfights you pretty much just gave up your right to be taken seriously.

Lee has a kit, like an extreme version of Olaf. It will always be unbalanced no matter what, either way too strong or way too weak. And currently, yes, he is on the weak side.

But that doesn't change the fact this guy needs to be revised and completely redone due to his horribly designed kit in general.

Also before they actually rework Lee, they need to understand what it really means to balance between low and high skill cap champions, otherwise it won't work well.

Morello: Lee Sin is Fun, Shitting on people is fun, Lee Sin Shits on people, so Lee Sin is really fun, but he probably shouldn't shit on people.

When one of the biggest names at Riot says that Lee is too powerful.... you're not going to make much of a valid argument to the contrary... ever.

I really do not think he is that powerful. If he was he would be picked more in LCS. I don't consider him a top tier jungler right now there are far better junglers to pick.

I would say no, he isn't overpowered. He's just not fun to play against, and the people on these boards get the two mixed up quite a lot (Example Kalista)

You're more or less right imo.

I just checked and Lee Sin has the 12th worst win rate in the game. IMO he needs buffs to be a viable jungler again.
