I wont say Riot's balancing is bad, i will deny its existence.

"Lee Sin is underperforming at most levels of solo queue play, and while he's more present at higher skill brackets, his clear weaknesses and counters make him risky to pick even where he is showing up. We're giving Lee a slight bump which should help solo queue players across the board."

Meanwhile is shit past Gold elo (since forever) and he gets nothing (since forever).

One wise summoner once said: "You will only suffer by maining a champion that is not on Riot's favorites list"
