Lee Sin wasted the blind archetype

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.

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.

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
