why is lee sin in this mode

Exactly! This is a gamemode where everyone can kill everyone without any problem. The Blood Moon buff has the indicator to tell you: "Okay, if you're not getting the hell out of here, you're dead." Nocturne's ult nullifies any of that indication and can allow for some truly unfun games

Found the quote on PBE forums. Shield wasn't the problem, it was his E and ult.

For Nocturne/ Yi specifically: Nocturne's ultimate definitely felt "Assassiny" and was appropriate for the mode, but once he got into fights he ended up having to be much more on the tanky side of things and ended up feeling rather odd. There were also just some unfortunate experiences: Because we mess with ult CDs the way we do, the "Darkness" spam was genuinely irritating to play against, and his E felt pretty terrible (for him, not for opponents) in a mode with as much mobility as there is.

Master Yi actually had a similar problem oddly enough: As you might've noticed, there isn't really any hard CC. Because of how squishy he is as well, he ended up actually playing as "Meditate tank yi", which was fairly unsatisfying on both ends.

I never said that Riot DOESNT favor Lee, simply that even if it were true, him being in the blood moon gamemode isnt one of those cases.

He IS a skirmisher, thats why he belongs in the gamemode and why its not favoritism. Although if you are wondering why i think its poor decision making its because personally i think there shouldntve been skirmishers in the gamemode and Lee sure as hell isnt an assassin.

If Lee Sin isnt an assassin and/or skirmisher then what the fuck do you think he is?

Because he sure as fuck isnt a Tank or Diver.

ROLE(S) Diver

He adds a lot to competitive so we don't want to dumpster him is what he said. Nice hate train

I can see why the limited champion pool can drive players away, it did exactly that to me when the game mode was first released.

• Hecarim and Wukong would effectively create another Kennen situation where they would be incredible at teamfights in a gamemode based around single-target combat and have a type of output comparable to Kennen in a manner that is less predictable. Mix that in with a variation of Shaco's invisiblity to cut off combat when being hunted down or a burst of high movement speed in the enemy jungle and you've got a solid champion that excels at everything the mode offers.
• Nidalee will either be too weak to function or too good at sabotaging. She'd be fantastic at taking spirits in relative safety with her quick speed and high-uptime burst, yet she's no good at resisting enemy assassins.
• Teemo's brush passive is an actually ridiculous thing to have in this mode and that alone is enough to make him hazardous to this mode's health.

Now, I mentioned Warwick and Fiora in strong defensive abilties because unlike most other champions with these their durability actually scales with their damage capability in a crazy manner while also increasing the value of Lifesteal. Warwick's % damage reduction into Area of Effect crowd control plus lifesteal synergy, as well as Fiora's parry, self heal, ultimate zone and lifesteal synergy are all incredibly good at resisting assassinations. I'd much rather have Jax available than these two.

You doubleposted this mate. But yeah I didn't vote on nothin', so blame others on that count.
