Lee Sin dash mechanic change

Please, don't shoot me down at first sight for this. Just hear me out.

Its not Lee Sins damage and not his tankyness. Its his utility of his dashes. What if Lee Sin's Sonic Wave / Resonating Strike could be "intercepted" by an enemy? What I mean is if Lee dashes to, lets say Teemo, he can simply fly through the whole enemy team, kick him all up in the everywhere, then dash back out through the whole team again.

Excuse my text diagrams. Lee Sin hits Teemo with Sonic Wave then dashes to him with Resonating Strike. However, if an enemy steps between the Target , Lee Sin collides with them instead.

LeeSin --------------------------------> X Teemo
Enemy in the way of teemo: LeeSin ------------------> Malphite - - - - - - - - Teemo Collides with Mal instead ^

This would give Lee Sin some Risk / Reward. He cant just freely fly through the enemy team, kick, then fly away. Players need to watch who in in there way. Will they dash to their target or get caught on the tank instead? I know I'm going to receive some hate from the Lee fan-boys, but I hope to get some real discussion outside of "no".

The Q can already be intercepted... This isn't going to help much since Lee generally isn't going to hit someone with Q and then spend a few seconds rethinking about whether or not to go.

A better change to balance him would be to make it so that he can only dash away to allies instead of wards. You want to talk about risk vs reward, that's the main problem right there: he can all-in without thinking twice because if shit hits the fan he can just dash over a wall using a ward.

He can also decide whether he wants to dash back to an ally or ward mid flight.

so you are saying dashing to a ward is broken! when champions like ezreal can dash without a ward! a ward hop is a lot more restricting than a normal dash and if a lee sin really wants to utilize his mobility he will have to get a sightstone so he basically builds like a tanky support

Lee Sin gets to dash IN and then have an immediate dash OUT.

Anyone else can EITHER go IN or OUT with a dash, not both.

Or you can just block the initial projectile.

You could also just not be in the same lane. You might as well just afk.

Its already a skillshot so the reward is ignoring everything between you and the target
