Lee Sin

Hello summoners,

As a mid main (and a bad one at that) I probably don't understand much about the jungle. I have played a lot of Lee Sin this season (220k) and I find him EXTREMELY fun. I might not be the best jungler, but I think I have pretty good mechanics with Lee Sin. I have been trying to learn jungle as best as I can, and in my experience I have learned that the game is usually over at the 10min mark if you are playing Lee. You are either 4/0 and fed af, or you are 0/3 and just want to surrender because you wasted your time as an "Early Jungler". But this is what I want to argue about, why is Lee Sin an early jungle? I was not around in season 5 or earlier but since his Ultimate has gotten nerfed he seems extremely weak. It feels like if i go against a Shyvana I lose automaticly because she will not only scale better but she will level up so fast with this new jungle. I do not see how he can 1v1 anyone, you can go in with all your burst but the enemy warwick will just lifesteal it back up.

Now im not asking for Lee Sin to be buffed (although I would love to see him in the meta again instead of playing boring tanks like rammus), but I want someone to tell me why they think he is an early jungler now. I see other smurfs winning games on lee and im just so lost, any tips would be great for Lee, or for Jungling.

Thanks!

Lee is already a very strong early game jungler, and he can beat the crap out of a lot of guys early on in 1v1. Not to say he can 1v1 against every jungler though, and doesn't scale up like a llate game jungler.

The problem though is that at the moment, games are (as so many people have complained on the forums) rather short, not going past 30 minutes too often. With that said, I can't picture early game champions getting many buffs at the current moment.

Lee has always been a strong early game jungler. His early damage was always high and his mobility allows him to move around quick compared to other junglers. He's not overbearing currently,but I don't he needs any huge buffs.
