The amount of us low ELO players that complain about Lee Sin is astounding
He is legitimately garbage at our ELOs
Every single day there are like 2-3 threads on the front boards about Lee Sin. 80% of these threads are made by bronze or silver players. Why this is I have absolutely no idea. He is trash at our divisions. I'm Gold (which is still shit to be fair) and he's trash too. He doesn't even barely break a 50% win rate until Diamond ELO. In other divisions his winrate practically makes him a troll pick. His win rate in Challenger is meaningless when you take a look at how many champions have drastically higher win rates at this level. This game is not balanced around Challenger and there are FAR more powerful champions at this level.
I can't even fathom why so many of us low ELO players complain about him other than blind (heh) circlejerking.
Yeah he's strong early, for sure. But if you dont feed him 10 kills in 20 minutes he falls off like a sack of bricks.
"But Lee doesnt fall off"
Actual data says otherwise. Sorry, but I'm going to trust that over what some random stranger tells me on the internet.
People always want to use these scenarios in a complete vacuum where, for example, Lee gets a full combo off on a squishy carry in the lategame which just doesnt happen 90% of the time in a team fight unless you're pushed way too far by yourself. He's garbage at team fights. The "LC$BIGPLAYZ Insec Kick" fails 95% of the time in an actual team fight and attempting it just gets him killed for free. His mobility is conditional. You don't have unlimited wards contrary to popular belief.
I really dont give a damn about highlight reels from Challenger players. These players are gifted and play at a level that 99% of us couldnt make it to if we devoted our lives to it. Lee is pretty far down the pecking order of OP at this level.
I DREAD having Lee on my team and am a bit relieved when he's on the other. You can say "he takes no skill" all you want, but maybe try playing him. I can guarantee you he isnt the "freelo" you think he is.
And no, I'm not a 'salty Lee main'. Feel free to use your choice of a dozen sites to check.
