same champions aren't picked in the lcs cause they are high risk high reward

i think "safe", "forgiving" and "universal" along with high reward is what makes a champ "pro level".

All of those champs apply

yes, definitely low risk in a champion like lee sin who does damage for only 20 minutes, then falls off hard as a rock later in the game. Playing against lee is like playing against shaco. but nobody whines about shaco because he doesn't get picked often.

you have to play around a lee sin. OH NO, A CHAMPION THAT HAS ACTUAL PRESENCE. how terrible. play safe, buy a ward, and don't try to invade him. Maybe you concede the second buff on your first clear, but at least you didn't give him first blood. You'll just outscale anyway.
