Can we move Lee Sin out of meta for some time?

I really want to see some more nerfs to Lee. No reasoning outside of the fact that he has been top tier for the most time pretty much since release (based on what I know; I've started playing in s3 and for this period it is true as far as I remember). Seeing him all the time in the LCS and other regions is getting stale and annoying.

There was a point where he had the lowest winrate in the game (44%) according to OP.GG about eight months ago. He was still pretty popular. He's just a fun Champion for people to play.

Would you rather Lee be meta, or someone like Vi who is completely point and click, zero counterplay, zero skill differentiating a good from a bad one. Lee has a kit that can get him very fed, but he can't close out a game by himself, nor win teamfights by himself. After 30+ min all he can really do is objective control or try to pick off an out of position adc.

I ban lee after Kass/Yas, and I get very tilted by his ganks, but compared to many in the past, he is tame.

I would rather play against Lee that has actual counterplay and can be outplayed than against Vi, Hecarim, Volibear or Nunu.

I've seen him way less and his R is reduced to pure utility and not nearly enough damage while also being relied on for power budget in his late game, he really needs no nerf unless you plan to put Q execute on R.

Lee Sin is only meta because OF the meta.. as stupid as that sounds.. But back in season 5 when Gragas and Rek'sai were the top 2 junglers Lee Sin was only ever picked in LCS due to the player wanting to play it, not because it was good. Season 5 wasn't a good Season for Lee Sin mostly due to how strong Tank Junglers were (cinderhulk)

So the reason i'm saying this is.. The solution shouldn't be nerf Lee Sin, or any champion ur sick of, it should be.. Lets buff the other champions in the game up to his level. Or, the ones that are specifically good against him.

In my last 20 games he was banned 8 times and played once. If he was so ''omg op'' he would be played more than ONCE in 12 games
