The Lee SINsuation

Sorry for the bad pun. So I'm a Lee Sin main and as bad as I am, I think I'm not alone in thinking Lee is a bit on the weak side right now. I've been thinking about what changes could be made that would make him a bit better. For those of you who don't remember Lee has gotten about three nerfs in the past year or so. Nerfs -Nerf 1- Ult Cooldown increase -Nerf 2- Ult Damage decrease -Nerf 3- Base movement speed decrease

So one thing I personally think would help Lee without making him completely oppressive is his W. Right now Lee Sin players have the mentality that ward hopping is our only real use for the dash part of the ability. A few possible changes I think that would make Lee a bit more a team player and also help him clear slightly better (Not that he has a problem with clearing but this would really show his strengths a bit more).

W Buff Ideas

  • W Safeguard (first cast) now has an AD scaling
  • W Safeguard now empowers the next three autos of you and your ally it was cast on (half or no effect when selfcast) Similar to a nami E
  • W Safeguard now gives a 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 percent damage reduction when cast on ally (Half or no effect when selfcast)
  • W Safeguard now boosts you and your ally's AD/AP (Adaptive) by X percent when cast on an ally (Half or no effect when selfcast)

These changes would make Lee Sin a better pick for a team and help his late game teamfighting a big more. It would also make him a bit more useful when kickflashing a carry or making a play isn't an ideal option (they built locket or have too many heals or cc to make it a good choice). Another option altogether would be to simply revert one or all of the previous nerfs which also help Lee but to a lesser extent. I'm really glad Riot understands that Lee needs some help and wait eagerly for the buff(s). Thanks for reading my wall of text and gl hf guys! Edit 1- I know Lee has upcoming buffs these were just some ideas for what they could do.

He's getting buffed soon

Lee Sin - Got hit a bit by Tracker's removal and had already been a bit weak before that. Buffing, details unsure.
