Because Lee Sin excels at everything.

Blindness is his only weakness, good thing the summoner sees for lee sin from the heavens.

oh wait nvm summoners don't exist.

What's a Summoner? I keep hearing it said IN FREAKING GAME.

Damn it Riot, if you want to make Summoners not canon anymore you need to remove "Summoner" from every place that says it's canon. As long as there is a single official instance of it being canon, then it's still canon. It's been months since "Summoner"s were retconned out of existence and there are champions that still refer to the player as a "Summoner". I mean, c'mon, it doesn't take a gigantic event to delete some files.

They should put language filter that changes any mention of Summoner on boards into a random ocean animal.

"Players in the League of Legends are known as summoners."

If "Summoners" are not canon anymore, why the hell does the WEBSITE refer to us as Summoners? The truth I guess, is that Riot is just too lazy to do a full lore retcon, as it's not just the lore that needs retconning.

brindness* smerry* i'm not being racist, he pronounces it like that

I Main SwainJan 6, 20151 votes

does he really? if he does, never noticed that. I guess it probably woulda just instantly been translated into normal pronunciation in my head unless it was REALLY obvious.

Honestly, if Lee sin can fight and roundhouse kick someone so hard that it sends them flying, I think he can run.

Best answer I have seen so far.

Ariel the CruelJan 6, 20158 votes

Better question: Why does someone with 2 gap closers, a knock-back, and a slow, need to walk faster than ~90% of champions? (2 champions are tier 1, 16 champions are tier 2, including Lee Sin. Sivir with her passive bets everyone.)

Why does someone with high base damage, high sustain, a and a shield, also need 90-200% AD scaling?

Why does someone who violates nearly every one of riots stated champ design values, need to be immune to nerfs?

Why does someone who fits into every meta and every possible team comp, need to set the bar for all junglers EVERY SEASON?

The answer is, quit simply, LeeSin

BudupopsJan 5, 20156 votes

they should changes hec base movement to at least 355, preferably 370

chavyy142Jan 6, 20155 votes

If only we had listened to Phreak's warnings about him that april 1st so long ago!

OneSlickPhonyJan 5, 20154 votes

Because Hecarim is so bad that he can't even survive the first clear without the right combination of Tier 3 runes. xD xD

Ankoku no HimeJan 5, 20154 votes

The correct combination of Tier 3 Runes give a huge advantage to any role...

Ulquiorra995Jan 5, 20154 votes

He needs it to compensate for lack of mobility on his kit... oh wait. Newsflash. Lee is bullshit.

Kuroi86Jan 5, 20154 votes

LeeSin Because he can smell the jalapeno pizza you finished a few minutes ago.

Also, stop farting when in the jungle, just because no one can hear you doesn't mean no one can smell you. Warwick

What does his blindness have to do with anything?

Kowe The EwokJan 5, 201546 votes

Close your yes. Run through your room. Will you move fast or slow? Does your shinbone hurt?

Lee is extremely familiar with the Rift. He probably counts his footsteps or something xP

Lissandra is blind. How is she able to hit anyone with her spells?

Kowe The EwokJan 6, 20153 votes

AoE

Ariel the CruelJan 6, 201511 votes

You ever notice how she's always surrounded by ice crystals? And how she always screams/yells when using a spell or often when auto attacking?

My theory is: echo location. Also.... she's been at it for hundreds of years. Plenty of time to get used to it.

Chromatic EagleJan 6, 20151 votes

Well several champions float or fly. Why do they need boots?

Ariel the CruelJan 6, 20156 votes

They still have feet?

For Nami and Cass, they're actually hats. This is in game too. (>_

JunkοJan 6, 20153 votes

Fun fact: type "hat" while playing Cass in the shop and see what pops up

WolfBVJan 7, 20151 votes

Lee Sin's kit has names relating to sound, so he likely uses echo-location as a form of seeing. he's also a mage so there's that.

MazianosJan 7, 20151 votes

His cloth face thing covers his ears, and it's multiple layers thick.

Is he related to Toph?

more like why does the blind champ of league have better vision than everyone else

(reveals stealth on top of normal vision otherwise)

They could at least add collision damage when he moves against a wall.

Nonono, it's a Lee-specific thing. Sion can run into walls all he wants and be just fine.

It'll never happen, but thanks for the laugh.

Sypher The PoroJan 5, 20151 votes

This is one of the reasons Lee is so uber good at jungle. His extremly high move speed (455 with boots of mobility) means you can move between lanes at extreme speed, only ones faster would be Rammus and Hecarim. Not to mention his wall jumps with wards. While I think he is a really high skill-cap champion on the levels of Zed and Yasuo, the trade off for that high skill-cap is too good.
