To all your aspiring Lee Sin mains trying to climb the ladder.

Rant warning. This is a rant from a salty butthurt player. There's so much salt in this post that it's going to choke an elephant. So much butthurt in this post that guys in the prison would feel guilty. So, just a word of warning. Butthurt and salt ahead.

You've been warned.

Look I get it. Lee Sin deals tons of damage. He really does. Between his Q having execution damage and his ultimate and all this other moves giving him all these cool buffs and shields and all that junk. And he's pretty fun when you know how to use him right.

But I'm going to give you folks trying to farm him out in the ladder some advice.

It doesn't matter if you're going 14/0. It doesn't matter if you can 100-0 pretty much anyone mid game. If the enemy team does not surrender and the game goes into late game and you built full damage glass cannon Youmu's, Warrior, Black Cleaver, Maw, Ravenous Hydra? You're going to lose. Hard. And do you know why you're going to lose?

Late game is the great equalizer. When everyone is full build, your KDA goes right out the window. Any lead you had is pretty much reset. And what you built during the early and mid will determine how your late game plays out. So while you can probably kill one squishy target, they can probably kill you before you pull it off. Meaning that if you land that Q on the ADC and ult him towards your team, you're most likely going to die in a single second.... or die before your kick lands.

Just look on pro builds. The most common builds have Dead Man's Plate, Merc Treads and Maw. Most of the builds are very bruiser heavy. They get in, soak up damage whilst dishing out just enough to get a pick and then get out to their teammates. And you can't do that whilst going full damage.

So it's really really annoying when we're fighting during late game and our Lee Sin is getting their teeth kicked in with every single fight, because they think they can grab a pick... then will continue to blame their teammates for their failed plays and wondering why no one is backing them up.... Because they died before their teammates could freaking reach them. Ugh....

Rant over. I'm ready for the downvotes.
