Big Plays - Lee Sin's 1v2 Outplay

RiotPreeti··65 votes·157,806 views

Welcome to the Big Plays Spotlight! In this feature, we highlight the most epic plays, from meticulously-coordinated early tower dives to mind-blowing escapes from one side of the Rift to the other.

This clip features EnjaWve, a Diamond 1 player, who shows how sometimes it’s worth going all-in for a higher-risk play despite an incoming enemy gank. Watch him reap his reward, thwarting a potentially lethal Hecarim ult while mid-Sonic Wave with a nasty Flash juke.

We’d love to feature your biggest plays, so post a link in the comments below or submit your clip here!

Please let the viewer start the video instead of automatically playing it when the page opens. I have to rewind every single time and with the longer videos it's a huge pain. Upvote if you agree!

show me an amazing juke on someone with limited mobility then i might be impressed but this... big woop its unbalanced lee sin. Still don't understand why the proposed healthy changes that were slotted for him were cut. Outcry or not, every change made has an outcry for it not to happen, just because lee sin has a big playerbase shouldn't change proposed healthy changes that honestly would not have effected his actual play style. He is terribly unbalanced still.

Bring on the downvotes :P

Yup, heres a downvote. Its people like you that just tunnel vision on the "champion skills" whereas you are forgetting the fact that their is a person PLAYING that champion. Just because someone can actually bring out the highlights of a champion ability does not make the champion itself op. Because if you put that champion in a bronze V player hand, in that same situation things would have went differently.

but you can't argue with the fact that lee sin is still a ridiculous mix of mobility and damage. while he is a difficult champion to learn to play, he just has too much power and mobility in his kit to not be nerfed. once you learn lee sin, you jump around the map facerolling everyone. need to poke? q. got an adc you want to melt? q again. in the middle of the enemy team? w right on out of there. low on health? w again. not enough damage? have this e. need to chase? e again. and how about we put a high power melee tristana ult in there for you while we're at it so that you can jump around someone and then kick them where you think they should go? he just has too much in comparison to other champions. so upvote to OP

Not to mention the fact that the champion HAS the potential to be this skilled and OP, whereas an Urgot, even in expert hands, is barely able to hold his own. So yes FullSiCBro we are calling you out on this. Coldmanj did not "Tunnel vision" on the champion skills, he focused on an underlying problem: The fact that Lee Sin as a Champion is highly mobile, and matches that with High Damage, and so is extremely difficult to deal with, because even though he has Low Defense, his mobility negates that downside to him, leaving him with just upside.

Upvote to Coldmanj for not being afraid to point out an obvious balance flaw.

Actually a skilled urgot has one of the highest dps output for an adc next to Draven . And the whole point of learning to play a highly skilled champion like LeeSin and Urgot is to BE op once you finally figure them out. The same goes for Leblanc and Kassadin . They're hard to figure out and someone who is not skilled with them is going to do much worse than on easier champs, but once they master them it's nearly impossible to shut them down.

You high son? Urgot doesn't have nearly the same damage output as Vayne, Kog, Jinx, etc later on

Actually, an Urgot with a Black Cleaver and Manamune is terrifying, as the Black Cleaver makes his Q's hit with about the force of popping Vayne's Silver Bolts, and the Manamune lets him do this as he pleases. Hell, he can even lock on to hit people with more of those deadly missles. When played expertly, Urgot can definitely have as much damage as the high ranked ADC's.

Ummm, you might want to back yourself up with real data and viable scenarios, which I can tell you now, you will find to be quite difficult. Lee sin has some of the highest AD ratios in the game, an engage and disengage, a shield that he can give to himself and others, able to boost his own sustain, an attack speed and movement speed slow, and a massive knock back that deals Tons of Damage™ to more than just the original target and disabling any other person hit. Does he take more skill than the average champion in the game? Yes he does but that is by no means a tradeoff for what he has. There are many champions in the game that require a high level of skill but of them lee has an incredible advantage with how outrageously fast he snowballs. The ONLY reason that he hasn't been overhauled is the fact that his late game does fall off incredibly hard due to the fact that, unlike the other melee attack damage carries, he doesn't have an ability that makes him untargetable or invulnerable. If he builds all damage he can get picked off easily once he engages on a target. That still does not give enough tradeoff for the outrageous amount of power he has in the early game. A snowballed Lee Sin can easily 2v1 and even 3v1 if the person playing him is skillful enough. While other champs can do this in the late game where it is appropriate, Lee can do this in the extremely early game where it isn't.

Do I think this game should be catered to the bronze V and new players just starting the game, heck no. No matter how they alter Lee he will still take a great deal of skill to be successful with and I do not think that should change. What NEEDS to change is his ability to take more than a mile when his opponent only gives up an inch. The proposed changes were going to do that, and the one small change he got instead did next to nothing.

All this was is a flash dodge on an ult.

Far less impressive than expected for a featured play.

The point is, the average player would not have done this. Typical players would have just said to themselves "I'm at 40% health, there's an Ahri who can charm me, a turret that can shoot me, and a double buff Hecarim running straight toward me. I should back."

Instead, this player said "I only need to land 1 Q on this Ahri to kill her, and I can completely dodge Hecarim's attack with my Flash, and I'm tanky enough to survive a turret shot. Plus I can just kick Hecarim back out of my face once he tries to come at me a second time."

Stop acting like you would've done the same.

The Average player wouldn't be Diamond 1. This is what I hold this play up to, Average Diamond 1 players.

If you wanted the "Average" player this would be a near-impossible play since Lee would've missed every Q, Hecarim would've ulted into Wraiths, Ahri would be afk looking at her boobs, and Irelia would be off trying to 1v1 a Tower.

Bronze isn't that bad. Bronze is more decision making problems, not being like really really stupid and having no understanding of how champions work. And besides, the average isn't bronze, it's silver.

According to OP.GG, my friend who is SIlver IV after placements is in the top 52% on NA. Bronze is about average.

Bronze is actually pretty damn bad...

To get to Diamond you have to start in Bronze. Even if youre really good and have Diamond level skills you start in Bronze and work your way up.

FalconPaaaawnch5 votes

I looked up how the ranking system works... Bronze is bad

ShardWintreswolf6 votes
  1. A lot of people face in both bronze and silver is tense up if something goes wrong.
  2. Bronze also often has a lack of a few of the finer background aspects of the game (minion wave pushing, D.O.T., use of actives).
  3. Silver appears to be more in tune with the finer points, but the stress more often becomes aggression because its tense and a because "its not bronze"

Mind you I'm Bronze V who just writing what I've seen, not saying its 100% accurate in any way

Ranked in a nutshell : bronze is the gameplay elo hell, silver is the decision making elo hell, gold is the ego elo hell, plat is decent, diamond is good and lcs is the cream of the crop

Actually I don't play a champion just based on some pro plays or how OP in current meta like everyone else does. So that isn't 'Everyone' but you're right, most people are so obvious. I just play what I enjoy based on appearance, lore and team contribution.
