So when is something being done about Lee's 21% play rate?

Thresh too still has an absurd play rate. Personally I wouldn't mind champions being automatically disabled for a week if their play rate was over a threshold, say 15-20(ban rate included). Would be nice for diversity to keep the game less stale.

Not a bad idea tbh. I think when we're approaching 10% play rate it's starting to become problematic when you see these champs in every game unless banned.

What a disgustingly awful idea.

He's in every single game.

I think the general idea is if a champion's play rate is crazy high then they're either a) OP and everyone is trying to play them, b) "too fun" compared to the rest of the roster, or c) too generic and works well with any comp.

Too strong can be fixed by the balance team, but too fun compared to the rest of the roster implies there's been some failings in champion design (and not all of them necessarily with the champion in question). If all champions were equally balanced, viable, and team comp was never an issue, then that would leave champion theme and how fun it is to play them the determining factors of their play rate.

I think for Lee Sin, his popularity comes from a combination of mobility, big play moments (which are fun), and his ability to fit into any team comp. Why learn 5 different junglers, each for a different team comp, when you can learn Lee Sin and be fine?
