@Riot: The discussion on nerfs.

Riot Staff #1: "Alrighty guys. Who's oppressive? How can we nerf 'em?"

Riot Staff #2: "Veigar's stun is too OP. Let's give it a hefty lag time so it's not so oppressive. Mord's HP regen is too large. We should shave over half of that off ... you know, so he's not so oppressive."

Riot Staff #3: "Kassadin's ult range is too high. Let's cut it by over 1/3. Sure, it's huge chunk, but we'll make his mana cost a little less to help calm the Sea of QQ." Sona's poke is pretty decent. Let's nerf her a bit to cut that down, especially with the ultimate skin coming."

Riot Staff #1: "Okay, those are all good nerfs."

Riot Staff #4: "Oh, and Zed is rather dominant with his burst, sustain, and mobility/escapes. We're getting quite a number of requests asking us to fix it. What do you want to do about him?"

Riot Staff #1: "... Nerf his attack speed."

Riot Staff #4: ".. Okay sir. And what about Lee? If Sona falls off late game yet gets nerfed, shouldn't we nerf him too?"

Riot Staff #1: "Get out."

And that was how Riot Staff #4 was fired. Riot Staff #4 will surely be missed.

Riot #4 (on the way out the door): "Oh ya, and good job nerfing Kassadin's mobility but then completely ignoring Nidalee."

Riot #1: "I said GET OUT!"

Will we make a post like this when Lee Sin gets nerfed?

I'd happily make a post like this when/if he's (meaningfully) nerfed. I can't promise I'll be alive by that point, though.

Because any meaningful nerf will drop his below average win rate even lower, but I'm not allowed to use that argument yet because...reasons.
