Can Lee sin ult knockup be quicker so I can actually react?

I'm sure you've all been ulted by Lee sin and realized you've practically been stunned at the beginning of the animation, while you're flying back and even when you land there is a mini stun too.

It annoys me how long it takes before my champ can actually react while I'm smashing keys. His ult seems to be one of the most hidden forms of CC in the game.

Anyway, would it make sense if the displacement of his ult happened quicker. Like the same speed as Vayne condemn. It's funny If I get ulted, and hit my teammate while flying back, that my team actual lands before me after being knocked up.

Would this make sense?

Nonono, Lee would no longer have 3 different types of hard CC in one abilitie. Unacceptable. Kappa.

Well you know riot is bias towards lee sin, and refuse to balance him reasonably, when his ult still knocks up secondary targets, instead of displacing them.

People still complaining about lee while others exist. What a joke

I'm not complaining about him. Atm he's out shined by others who do better in the jungle, so he finally stopped being definitive champion for the jungle. That said, he isn't exactly a well designed champion as far as fair game play is concerned.

Why do I see so many nerf lee sin thread on boards? Right now the meta completely favors him : quick games, early/mid matters more than late. But he still isn't obnoxious to deal with. Even lee sin mains with 125+ games on him are not able to reach a 50% winrate Source: http://champion.gg/champion/LeeSin

Given this, why do you wan to see lee sin nerfed? His ult having that kind of CC and damage is one of his strengths. He was broken once upon a time, and he got his fair share of nerfs.

If you ask me he is one of the healthiest champs to play against because his Q, the main damage spell of his basic kit is dodge able. his E slow isn't too over bearing or long, his shield isn't too big and annoying to deal with. his ward hops are limited by his wards, unlike am ekko, he can free dash only 4/5 times then he has to back to get more charges on his jungle item or wait out the cd on trinkets. If i had to pick against playing a lee sin or a kindred, I would pick lee sin anyday. He has to be in melee range to ult you, and unless he lands his Q, its gona require you to walk close enough to his ward hop range to get hit by it.

sorta obnoxious to lane against mid lane, other than that he isn't terrible. However the 1 hit combo chain is a bit absurd against mages would at least like the opportunity to defend myself by trying to dodge the skill shot.

By asking for "opportunity to defend myself" as a squishy who is meant to be protected by other members of the team, this community and the balance team have broken so many champions. The extra counter play and extra strength added to compensate for these coutnerplays are the cause of tank assassins.

just seems sorta like they redfine these things not because of gameplay but because they deem it so. Horrible decision making really. Why must mages suffer with mana pools late game? every other class has a full build... Riot: "because we said so, we know what's healthy."

Steel BlossomMay 8, 20161 votes

Well they used to make assassins reliable but with clearly defined weaknesses. And then the community started demanding that no matter how well an assassin is doing his job, the squishy high priority targets(that previously needed their teams to survive and thus making room for teamwork) still has an answer. It's a stupid concept took away both teamwork and the need to shut down snowbally assassins early on.

idk considering Malz, one of his top counters, was buffed to broken-ness recently.

This is honestly the best change to Lee Sin I have heard in a while. It makes utilizing his ultimate to the fullest effect easier to do and more reliable while making Lee Sin in a 1v1 situation less oppressive. You have my upvote and agreement. Although I disagree with Vayne Condemn speed. That's a little too fast.
