You know what tilts me the absolute most about Lee Sin?

It's not the ward jump, his obscene overall mobility, the ton of damage on his ult, or even his general versatility, or not even the fact that with his pickrate so high I have started banning him so he's not in every second game that I play.

It's the fact that his kit does absolutly nothing to fulfil his character fantasy. To make it worse, he's a clicheed stereotype. The blind asian - I mean ionian - material arts master. Wow, how uninspired.

But to make it worse his gameplay is just so much missing even a broad target like that. For example, I could come up with a design of a Zaunite or Piltover scintist who utilized magnets, and give them 90% of Lee's kit. Magnetize enemies or allies to pull yourself to them, use it in the ground to slow enemies down, or here have the ultimate: push someone super far away from you.

His kit does barely make you feel like a material artist (and it doesn't look like a material artist when you play against it), it doesn't make you feel like you play a BLIND person for that matter either (perma Rek'Sai burrow-vision when?). In literally all aspects this design is failed, and to make it worse I have to see it every second game, especially with this Iron - ah no I mean "God" - Fist skin being out now...

I know he was released as a joke, but after more than five years it has grown stale, boring, and is not even remotely funny anymore.

Material artist? xD You talking about martial arts?

One who practices material arts is a material artist. Blame the English language for all misunderstandings that might come up.

I'm actually disgusted by his ult damage. Why the actual fk does he need that much damage on a utility spell?

Yeah that's kinda weird, I gotta admit that.

The AD scaling itself is disgusting, the base damage is extremely weak tho.

He's not a bad design I think. His original lore was probably better though.

as for whether his kit makes you feel like a martial artist.. I think that depends a lot on you

I mean, some aspects of it make sense. His Q, for instance. It's echolocation: he fires sound, and if it hits an enemy he receives information on where they are. Ward hopping can work because wards grant sight. He's moving to the one thing he can see (joking on the ward thing).
