Lee Sin nerfs

Thoughts? As a Lee Sin main, I'm a little upset BUT understanding of the nerf. As everyone knows (Assuming you're a regular), Lee Sin is a very early to semi-mid game champion. His potential to snowball other champions or himself is great. The thing is for Lee Sin...no matter what you really do, you're going to fall off late game no matter what. I think the nerf was a little too harsh; I also think the E nerf was ridiculous. 2 of Lee Sin skills (Now only one :c) reveal invisible units such as: . This is just an opinion and I would love to hear some feed back!

P.S. Yes, I do know Lee Sin damage was pretty stupid with thunderlords. Auto + Kick + Q = Death to pretty much any squishy. Not much counter play but still... -Calypso

Lee does not fall off. His damage does, but he as a champion has enough utility left in his kit to make good use of himself after that point. The true vision, the AoE slow, the mobility, and that kick all ensure that Lee always has a place in the game at all points in a match.

If you want a champion that really does fall off, you talk to this man here: Pantheon Past a certain point in the game he literally is a stun bot. That is what falling off is. Lee simply changes roles from assassin/diver to bodyguard as the game goes on.

E Nerf was more than logical. Generalist champion like Lee Sin doesn't deserve to also be the ultimate stealth counter. Attempting to ever balance stealth when hard counterpick for it permanently has crazy pick rate would be bound to fail.

I also feel the pain, as Lee is my secondary go-to... The problem is that the community is straight up getting better at this champ, meaning "skill cap" isn't something you can just have and not pay for. People are getting better and better at reducing counterplay through Lee's kit and combos. His power needed to come down to compensate

I honestly am upset about the E vision nerf.

Rito...Plz dont buff lee sin's W (to give him more spell vamp and life steal) because you say he is falling behind in the jung. Then, he ends up being "the top jung" (which i do not believe) and you turn around and nerf his ult. Just revert the last buff and leave him alone. Also he can't reveal a teemo, but a teemo can blind a blind man? Stupid.
