Lee Sin wasted the blind archetype

Death and Doom··23 votes·1,620 views

maybe just wishful rambling but going on archetypes am i the only one who thinks a blind champion is so wasted on lee sin??? he has only his q to show he is blind, i feel they could have made an epic champ with that archetype of a blind monk, maybe with like permanent rek sai vision but all his skills have ways of giving him vision so he is still fun to play.

maybe its not posssible, but making a new blind champ whos ACTUALLY blind sounds hype.

There's a difference between a 'blind' lore and a 'actually blind' gameplay, Plus you have to remember that the whole entire 'mc'guffin' that League of Legends uses is that we are a "Summoner" who is commanding a 'champion', not 'becoming' the actual champion itself.

Vision itself is a incredibly strong element for any game in the MOBA, RTS or similar types of games so if Lee'sin had to follow a 'being perpetually blind' mechanic, they'd have to give him some ridiclous reaction passives/abilities and raw stats to make up for it since his current kit would never support such a playstyle, which he is more of a rocket'jumping soldier who gets a 0 second delay rapid fire shotgun and then throws a pharah concussion missile at his feet to run away soon after and sometimes throws in a Pyro's knockback airblast that tosses in a Tracer's sticky grenade in the airblast too.

Still, fucking nerf LeeSin , Hecarim and Shaco already, champions with EZ damage kits with only the need of one 'actual' damage item or just kits which let them pull retarded jukes and never get properly redesigned to make it possible to actually counter play them is so stupid.

it isnt too difficult, rek sai vision combined with rek sai q (gives vision) and maybe a toggle or ability that grants him normal vision for a while. im sure its balancable, and on your point of "summoners vision," u r ignoring rek sai.

I think that while it may be interesting, you are entirely wrong on the "it isn't too difficult" aspect.

This would mean an entire rework of Lee Sin's kit with a complicated feature being added. That is very difficult.

thats what im saying, its too late to rework lee since he is so ingrained in the game with a huge player base and a high pickrate in LCS.

I just want Riot to come out with a NEW blind champ who actually is blind.

apparently not. RekSai has been dumbstered and left to rot because how "strong" her tremor sense is in pro play.

Now I have never been able to decide if this is thematically right or wrong but I've always found it amusing that the blind champ relies on vision wards more than anyone, since he uses them to get around :P

I remember when Rek'Sai came out and people were asking for her "blindness" when she's underground to be somehow implemented to Lee Sin's gameplay.

yes definitely, i honestly think just leave lee sin as he is and make another blind champion who actually involves blindness in his gameplay since actually reworking lee would be a mess due to his popularity (especially in LCS)

blind isnt lee sins archetype?

same goes for a lot of archetypes that are either wasted or not fleshed out fully

Wind samurai sounds pretty cool until you realize Riot would rather remove lethality before they ever actually address Yasuo's toxic ass kit that breaks several rules of design

same goes for 'night hunter/ADC duelist' but then you have this shitstain of a champion Vayne
