Proof that Riot balances around "LC$BIGPLAYZ"

LeeSin One of the jungle's flashiest all-stars, Lee Sin's become a rare sight in the professional scene as of late. Like we mentioned with Gragas and Rek'Sai last patch, teams are optimizing around early-game pressure harder than ever - meaning the healthier you are, the more valuable you'll be. This means that although Lee Sin is still one of the strongest champions when you want to gank lanes, falling behind other premier junglers ever-so-slightly in health could mean all the difference when a fight breaks out. We're nudging Lee's sustain up a notch to keep him healthier in those crucial early levels.

Copy paste of patch notes. I struck out all of the unnecessary fluff for you. Basically, it reads "Even though Lee Sin is one of the strongest gankers, he hasn't been making LC$ Big Playz lately so we're buffing him."

Proof that Riot has no idea what they're doing with this game. They ACKNOWLEDGE his strength and BUFF HIM ANYWAY.

Just thought I'd bring some attention to this, something that could ACTUALLY be a problem, what with all the Yasuo complaining spam everywhere from people who don't know how to play.

Of course they buff and nerf around LCS, who gives a f**k about everything below challenger?

Strong early should still get you something and if you're not strong enough early to discern yourself against 'ok early' champs that are way better late game champions then you might need better early power to push your game so you can potentially win during your really weak time (late)

I thought it was well known that Riot ONLY balances around LCS. Do people not know this?

This is true for practically every game played professionally.

This is why certain champs remain unchanged even though they are ridiculous in solo Q in lower elos, like Master Yi. If Yasuo ever sees LCS play again, they will finally 'fix' him again. Why waste time on doing work on champs that don't really matter to the top brass of players?

this was an already well known fact. BTW the gnar thing was because they stated about a month ago that they were using these last 3 patches to balance around worlds.
