I have to agree. Lee Sin has a very high skill cap, and in the right hands can be a very effective jungler. Even with the right person using him though, he is outclassed and outmatched in so many ways by so many champs. He can dash over walls? BOOHOO so can a bunch of other champions and they don't even need to buy a special item to do it, he can close the gap to your back line and deal a lot of damage? SO WHAT, that's what bruisers are DESIGNED TO DO. I am a hell of a lot more worried about that Irelia or Jax diving my ADC. Oh he can be built as an AD assassin that has a very forgiving escape when he overextends? So do countless other assassins. He takes a lot of work on the first jungle clear compared to some of the better junglers out there right now. I am not saying that he is a bad champion, I am just saying he definitely isn't overpowered and I am pretty sick of people crying about it. I DON'T EVEN PLAY LEE SIN. ADC main and when I do jungle I prefer VI, Sejuani, or Warwick.
I never really played lee sin..
I honestly don't care about balance.. I saw a video about how league used to be perfect imbalance which opened so many propensities for players in every league and division to be able to rise above what was considered good...
If you think lee sin is too Over powered.. find someone who can counter him.. then maybe that person will be over powered?
the game is like a giant rock paper sisors each countering the other but none of them are really the strongest..
Im a tristana main, and who do I see in the bot lane almost every game.. JINX.. and she out damages me, if she gets me low, running to my turret isnt safe with her ult. her chompers out range me.. Jinx hurts me... ALOT
So Who counters jinx? Kalista. I just recently bought kalista.. granted Im having a hard time learning her(She is alot of fun though).. but ill soon have the rock and paper to the scissor of the top teir ADCs..
Graves counters kalista and hes top teir too... Tristana counters him.. Iv'e had no troubles beating a graves..
Kalista? Kalista is also countered by tristana who has a large gap closer and if i need more move speed to get her i'll do just that..
So who is lee sin counter by? Udyr? Nunu? who counters them? is there a rock paper sissor pattern in counter?
and granted if i have to keep going tristana against so many jinx players.. Im gonna learn how to outplay my counter this season.. to the point where you'd have to be a very decent jinx player to beat me as tristana.. and people are able to do that with their main champions.. learning how to counter their counter..
So be careful if you try to play the counter game, because they may be learning to counter what counters them. so get good as the champion your trying to learn.
Yeah, Lee Sin is certainly a strong champ, and a decent option on many teams, but he isn't nearly as OP as people claim him to be. He got some solid nerfs awhile back and since then I have had no troubles with Lee completely dominating in games. Frankly many of the Lee sins I see are terrible and of very little use to their teams. I played him myself a couple of times and although I wasn't by any means a master at him, I didn't find him to be nearly as powerful as people claim him to be.
I also think lee sin is balanced and im in bronze so he has to be balanced if he wasnt balanced i would be complaining to the gameplay and balance section right now
Yeah, he may be really strong, but not really in the OP tiers anymore. With the removal of his attack speed slow on his E, he is actually a free kill for champions like 
at level 2-3.
