Can you get rid of Lee for like a week?

For Carthage··3 votes·550 views

Just a week. Just a week for the whole community to just take a step back, breathe, and recover from him having been in over a fourth of all games everywhere for actual years. And that's just his lowest popularity - he's up at 34% right now and I've seen him hit over 40% playrates in all queues.

I get it, he's stupid popular. You don't wanna dumpster him. But out of 100+ champions, if you'd have to see the same one month after month regularly every single time in basically every game, how could you not just get exhausted by it? Holy shit.

So just have him die like Gangplank for a little bit, take him out, put him back in a week later. At least then I can say, "Ah, that was a nice rest" before inevitably being hunted down in the river by the absolute inevitability that is his Q range, his movement speed, and his mobility and getting dragon kicked in the fucking teeth for the millionth time this season alone (which yes, pre-season included in that).

I don't mind him i'd rather see a hundred billion thousand lee sins and never anything else over a single warwick.

What kind of comment is this? Warwick has zero mobility or pre-6 gank potential. He's useless until 6 and then he becomes a walking ultimate.

Lee Sin is relevant at every stage of the game in some way, shape or form.

Early game? Impossible to duel if he catches you in the jungle. Impossible to catch if he doesn't want to stick around and fight.

Mid game? If he got fed early, he's going to be ulting you and anyone else hit for 400-600 damage depending on how much damage he felt he needed to rush.

Late game? Great at picking off squishies still, setting up ult plays or denying assassins by kicking them away from carries.

I have more fun playing against lee sin than i do against ww becaues what lee sin does is actually interesting and interactive.

every time i see lee sin QQ it just seems like they're butthurt they got outplayed and are scrambling for excuses. same thing with zed, as a matter of fact.

It's hard not to get "outplayed" by lee sin. Oh lee failed everything. But he just pressed R and everything was k. Lee Sin is not very interactive. What Lee Sin does, when Lee Sin gets killed, it's mostly about him doing the right thing or screwing up. Lee Sin easily moves away from danger or kicks you out, how is that interactive? The only somewhat play you can do against Lee Sin is flash out just before he ults so he kicks you away and not towards his team. And dodging his Q (if he sucks).

Also an interesting aspect I've noticed is his ult works differently from Tristana's. For example as Master Yi, you can Q someone after being knocked away by Tristana, with good reflexes because you get very fast out of range. With Lee's you can't. It's actually a real suppression, that's not QSS'able. Can't dodge it, can't QSS it. MUCH counterplay.

And I don't even consider Lee to be OP. He's just not at all interactive to play against.

ok, you're allowed to think that. you'd be wrong, but that's okay.
