Should I buy Lee Sin?

How is his late game? Is he OP (more nerfs coming)? Pros and cons? I have tons of IP and don't know who to buy. And no, I'm not saving it for Azir cause I played him already (I don't like him)

Lee Sin can be fun to play. imls recommends that you don't play him in ranked unless you have very low ping, since his combos can be hard to pull of at higher pings. Pros are that he has very good early game pressure and high mobility; he's the type of jungler that can get your team snowballing with powerful ganks and also the pressure he can put on the enemy jungler with an early sightstone, which is why you see him so much in professional play. His advantages are far less pronounced in lower tiers of play because people don't buy early wards to pressure the map, and players are more prone to mistakes, so even if you get a lane an early lead, they may lose it and that's just time wasted. He doesn't scale too well into late game because there isn't much he offers to teamfights; usually his role (in pro play) is to dive into a team and kick a carry into his team for deletion, which is very hard to pull off for lower tier players. He has very good objective objective control, however, since he does %health damage with the second part of his Q.

I would take a look at your champion pool and see what you need; if you're fine with your champion pool, pick a champion that's fun to play and that you like.

I'm not that great at Lee I've practiced him a couple of times and although his late game isn't as great as his early game its still a bit stronger then an average champions late game I don't think he will get any more Nerf in the foreseeable future Pro: he has a lot of maneuverability cons: he takes a lot of practive

There's pretty much no reason to play him when Jarvan exists. He hasn't been OP since they gutted his E (and thanks to said gutting, his late game is god awful).

You should know he is very mechanically intensive, so hopefully that's your style.
