> Tempest: Lee Sin smashes the ground, sending out a shockwave that deals 60/95/130/165/200 (+100% bonus Attack Damage) magic damage and reveals enemies hit for 4 seconds.
Why does he get to do magic damage which has 100% scaling from AD items? So armor doesn't reduce all of his damage... just because?
Danyoja2 votesShyvana also has the same thing on her burnout and Katrina's ult(also has ap scaling but the ad is there) does as well (there;s actually many), but it's depends on the champion sometimes it's thematic and other times it's for balance and just part of their kit. For Lee I'm going to guess that it's a little bit of a shockwave doesn't really seem like a physical attack and a little bit of a skill that isn't negated by armor. Garens ultimate works the same you have to build armor against him but his ult deals magic damage so if he gets you low his ult can work as an effective execution tool.
Busty Demoness1 votesKat also gets AD scaling on at least one of her other skills.

SanKakU1 votesIf Lee Sin relied on AP for some of his damage, then he might actually be balanced. Imagine if that were 20 percent AD scaling and 80 percent AP scaling(or 40/60 or whatever)...and some other ability was like 50 percent of whatever AD scaling it is and the other 50 percent on AP. All of a sudden, he would be significantly weaker in damage output.
ChaddyFantome1 votesSo that his E doesn't apply 
shred and doesn't benefit from Armor penetration and Lethality?
Or would you rather it did physical damage after all?
Look harder for something else to complain about lmao.

I don't know about you but I miss when Darius' passive dealt Magic damage instead of physical and didn't apply Black Cleaver by itself lol.
deadlychuck1 votesRiot is really inconsistent about a lot of their item effect though.
doesn't apply to all spells which deal damage through some passive means.
applies stacks on just about every kind of physical damage (instead of physical damage spells and attacks)
has more methods of application than liandry's, because apparently riot classifies some of their spells as "abilities" but not "spells" instead???
