I feel like you don't even have to be good at Lee Sin anymore to carry with him

I don't know what it is, but I've been seeing a large influx of Lee Sin's in my low ELO games that end up going positive. That straight up did not happen before even worlds hit. It used to be that if your jungler locked in Lee Sin in the B2-S4 region, you prayed he was a smurf, or you dodged. Did I miss something? What happened to the idea of skill floors? Am I just stupid? (The answer is yes, but don't say it, just join my circlejerk.)

I've noticed that now only Lee Sins with less than 5 games played have a sub-50% winrate.

His kit takes mechanical skill to pull off, but it's also insanely forgiving of mistakes. He has too many tools at his disposal, to the extent that if he messes up one, he often has another to either do the job or get him out of the sticky situation

^ FUCKING ALL OF THE THIS Any difficulty there is in playing lee sin is more than offset by the number of bullshit safety nets he has. Oh yeah not to mention there's little impact on his decision making because his ult's cooldown bears little weight, and the same can be said for his Q duration, he has far too long to decide whether or not to take the Q. Oh and we cant forget the horsehit lockdown his ult has (QSS-flash does not consitute as a sufficient means of counterplay)

Little things like this are all that's standing in the way of him and being at the least FAIR AND BEARABLE for most players, but riot refuses to trim him back. Instead they'd rather drop the amount of AP that can be built further

Oh, don't get me started on the fact that you can't even flash away once he hits you with his Q because the duration is so insanely long.
