Did anyone else notice the uncanny resemblance?

I've never been a Lee Sin player/fan, so the skin didn't excite me to begin with. Now its model seems even less appealing.

The abilities look like they will have really awesome effects and animations though. I look forward to seeing more in-depth looks at his spells :D

Dreadnova Darius is smexy though. XD

I feel like the concept behind this Lee Sin skin is a bit mediocre. This looks and feels like it should have been his VGU instead of a skin.

"Blind monk" is Lee Sin's core theme though. If you change that (which this skin does) it no longer feels like the same champion. It's OK when a skin does it since skins are just alternate fantasies, but a champion's actual thematic should remain intact with a VGU, imo.

Eh, blind monk is ok, but doesn't really translate that well in the game in his classic skin. He doesn't act blind - hell, Rek'sai is more "blind" than he is in her underground mode. Lee Sin is pretty generic in this game, and his fantasy isn't particularly lived up to. This skin, while altering his story, isn't a far cry from what he actually is now and could easily work as his base lore.

Did I see the similarities between two glowing shirtless bald men? Yes, I noticed the similarities. :P

That's been out for awhile, hasn't it?
