Lee haters... Here we go again...

So lee has buffs on PBE all the sudden the Lee haters are popping up out of the wood works again. I'm sorry but how many times have you seen Lee since the Cinderhulk patch. Cinderhulk patch basically booted him out of the jungle and now the new Devourer makes people he used to excel at stopping scary. On top of that his clears have never really been all that great until he picked up hydra. But I mean anyone who picks up hydra and is melee is going to have pretty good clear speeds. It's just what hydra does.

I swear the Lee Sin haters just complain to complain. They don't actually care about him. They don't learn his weaknesses. All they care about are his strengths, on a generalist champ... Lee Sin does forfeit a lot of his ability to make plays. He has very little innate tankiness to make up for the mobility. Which means you have to build tank or you will die easily. He is completely reliant on positioning. His clears are pretty risky early on. People just dislike anyone who is meant to shut them down so they don't get to hyper carry status. And the sad thing is people like Lee are necessary. Otherwise people like Vayne, Twitch, and assassin's can become big problems. Remember the time when assassins were extremely big mid lane? Guess who got over shadowed at the time? Lee.

The problem is champs like LeeSin Pantheon Volibear RekSai Renekton Sona are often hated because they prevent people from hitting their power spikes before everyone else and help keep late game champs in check.

Just when we thought he was out, they pull him back in

'Cause he has pretty much ALWAYS been a good pick.

He was in pretty much every LCS game I watched; it just gets so boring seeing the same pool of champions. It's nice to see someone who wasn't Lee in a game. (Though Vi and J4 aren't off the hook either).

Sej got nerfed because of Cinderhulk; now Cinderhulk is getting another nerf, and Sej still didn't get rebuffed.

Lots of champions have been pushed out of usability; How many Taric or Galios have you seen compared to Lee?

Maybe its because Taric was the pre-Cinderhulk cinderhulk champ? Man you really should have seen him when sometimes he could get focused by 5 people in a team fight and not die and then chase down the carry and push them out of the fight at the same time. Hell I watched a carry kill themselves on Taric with thornmail because they just couldn't hurt him even with armor pen. So much balance right there. Galio has almost always been viable just very niche the only thing he suffers from is the MR itemization changes. And just because someone is picked a lot doesn't mean they are strong. They are pick for versatility not strength. You pick people like Vi for strength. The problem with the Cinderhulk OP tanks was they didn't die and still put out a lot of damage. Lee Sin on the other hand very easily dies if you catch him out of position and abuse it.

Down vote me if you hate lee sin, but it doesn't make you right. It's why it's perfectly fine to see 1 million threshs and morganas. But all of the sudden Lee is every game and everyone is pissed off. Just prove me right. Why is it fine to see the same people in every lane but a single champ stays around a long time due to versatility and has been nerfed over and over again while still not being the strongest and to hate them for it?

reminder that orianna has been queen bitch of competitive midlane with no significant changes almost literally since her release but nobody seems to care.
