When you're getting questioned by his pick-rate being high, despite being "weak".
If that's the case, go play Karthus or Sejuani jungle, they suck a lot more. They should be your next favorite.
A main plays the champion with no regard to its state lol.
He's fun.

They have Lee Syndrome...
i'm not maining Lee, but that is one of the biggest BS arguments i have ever heard.
when you truly main a champ you'll also main him if he is weak.
"Take it to late game" Lee mains always say...... What if they already got their team a snow ball lead? People have to understand he falls off late game yes but to get to late game you need to survive his B.S early game of fast gank to mid game his round house kick ult, THAT IS THEN when you get to late game.
Hes super fun. Before you bring up your idiotic sej and karthus argument like you have everytime someone else said this, high mobility and damage champs (or characters in many games) tend to be more enjoyable than slow paced ones. For example, in Smash people generally find slower characters boring. I know some people dont, but many would rather play faster paced characters. In league, assassins in general tend to be liked the most. Midlane is the most popular lane because its the fastest paced and is filled with high damage and/or mobility champs. In TF2, Spy and Scout are both very popular in pubs because of their playstyle. Sej, Karthus, Bowser, Heavy, etc... are all fun for some people, but the majority of gamers do indeed enjoy these faster paced characters, hence the popularity of them and midlane.
I know this is a Lee Sin hate circle jerk and this will probably be down voted but here it goes:
*People play a champion they enjoy regardless of there state of balance. Its that simple. *What the hell does pick rate have to do with a champion being weak? He has a high pick rate because he has an attractive kit. Very similar to Yasuo. A champion with a high pick rate can have a low win rate. Why is that hard to understand? Look at Lucian, LeBlanc, E.T.C *Why do you think people who enjoy playing a "bad" champion would enjoy playing other bad champions?
Why are mains mains of anybody? Because they enjoy the champ, strength of the champ doesn't factor in.
If your question is why is Lee played a lot when he is claimed to be weak, that can be answered in a couple ways.
He's not necessarily weak. That's evident by his powerful early game, however, he falls off far harder than any champ I can think of, and his best chance of winning late game is giving kills to the carries, which can be difficult considering his strength in the early game and likeliness of taking kills. The last nerf on his ultimate only made his late game worse and barely affecting him early Game, making him far more reliant during that time.
Lee also has a very satisfying playstyle, much like riven, yasuo and draven. Playing correctly and executing their skills precisely give the player a higher sense of accomplishment. Their skills also meld together very well, allowing complex mechanics to shine.
