if lee sin is so strong and easy to play

Why is he usually one of the first jungler to come to mind when comparing to a strong yet easy champ?

I remember last time vi was strong people were saying "Why would I ever play difficult to play jungler (usually lee) when I can just play vi?"

If he's easy, why is he the champ people usually think of in that context?

Honestly with how braindead and effective are the Q-R-Q and wardhop R-Q-Q combos he might aswell be faceroll atm.

You can literally spam those 2 combos all game to get free kills and get fed for free, even silver players can do this.

I've seen more successful Yasuo players than Lee Sin

At least he falls off if you aren't really good, I'd argue that he is easier than people act, its not that hard to ward hop he and just auto til they are forced to run straight then you q them. But his scalings and kit are such that he becomes kinda weak late game and your team has to actually help you win. Hes not like Hecarim that just stomps forever when he gets fed.

Honestly lee sin isn't even super hard mechanically by himself. I'm pretty sure riven and yasuo have some harder mechanics than lee sin does.

However, lee sin's combination of being hard to play, relying on a single target skillshot (that's not even that big) for damage and mobility, and falling off late game, in addition to not even doing tons of damage like yasuo or riven is what puts him above other champs in terms of difficulty.

In lower elo though you can build damage and one shot adcs.

I used to play a lot of lee especially when he was actually good, and his mechanics were way easier for me to understand. Hardest thing is timing ward hop with 120 ping. Guess its just how I work, but I find yasuo and (especially) riven mechanics harder.

For yasuo, using his dashes was more difficult to actually master. Without ample knowledge of almost exactly how far his dash goes, my options are limited. Waaay too many yasuos give first blood dashing under tower by accident. Then controlling your movement to dash the correct way, while keeping in mind if you spam dash you wont be able to get out in teamfights or trading. That's what you gotta do to use yasuo in high elo I've heard. Over my head, honestly.

Overall though yasuo can be pretty braindead just because he can be a mobile bruiser with twice the damage of an adc. Kinda bs in low elo. Such a pain in the ass since I main adc now.

You have the basics of lee congratulations!!! But no he is a lot harder then what u say. Lee sin is one of the most played jglers and arguably one of the best. I dont wanna go in depth cause in lazy.

I could not jungle lee sin even in bronze its just too much to keep up with. Passive, activating abilities twice, skillful ward jumping, its a lot of tedious work for me
