The Champion That Can't Be Nerfed: The Story of Lee Sin

Metas shift in League of Legends. Champion picks come and go.

But there’s ONE champion that always seems to weather the storm, and it isn’t because he’s always the strongest. It’s because when it comes to showing off how mechanically skilled you are, there’s no one like him.

To truly prove that you belong among the best junglers in the world, you have to show that you have a Lee Sin.

I never thought for a second I would see a RossBoomsocks clip in a The Score Esports video, but there you go.

What I love about playing Lee Sin is the "My mind is telling me no, but my body. My body is telling yes!" moments. The decisions that can tell whether you will win or lose your game.

Its kinda funny how vision is one of the most important thing for the players of the Blind Monk

Insec‘s first insec was so revolutionary that it wasn‘t even caught on cam since no observer could have seen it coming

[johncarlo]

It's funny because i first played Lee Sin when i accidentally buy him on 2014, at first i thought what the hell is this champion? his hard to use and his damage on late game is low. My friend told me to watch how pros play Lee then i decided to watch and get mind blown how pros play him. I practice Lee many times back then when there's still no practice tool. Back in 2014 i get only gold elo but with Lee Sin i manage to climb Diamond elo and now I'm on my way to Grandmaster thanks to Lee.

Wow, there was already an Ornn easter egg way back 2011! Cool!

[heims]

Oriana and Lee, basically immune to meta shifts considering how old they are and how dominant they've been in pro play pretty much every season at some point

[winchan]

I see diamondprox i press play and like, he literally the reason i got into playing leesin way back late 2012.

One of the funnest characters to play in any game :-) I my blind monk boi

[AzizUchikiraChan]

And now in wild rift, he can even use his W without ward or ally, making the insec combo really easy to pull off

[Sey_Moore]

Back when lee sin was released i was a hardstuck bronze player. After he was released i was fascinated with him immediately, the outplay potential was insane. All my friends trolled me for playing "useless" champion, but i carried myself into gold with him (back in lee sin days, gold was second highest rating iirc). Unfortunately, once season 2 worlds hit, my glory days were over.

I thought that was Sagat in the thumbnail and I was like “I’ve never heard of this Sagat player..”

Lee Sin before: INSEC IS SO HARD TO EXECUTE EVEN BY PRO PLAYER STANDARDS

Lee Sin now: Yea I just 'q r ward flash w q e tiamat protobelt qss zhonyas 5 man kick' no big deal

[Abrador]

Lee: q-q flash out
Casters: OH MY GOD

[asfarkhan]

I am so happy that Broxah got some spotlight in this video, that man may not be the best jungler but just his personality alone makes him the best suited for pro play.

"Junglers today still know..."

Uh, you mean toplaners today.

[Ollie-uorj]

The score: "Lee Sin, the Champion that can't be nerfed"

Proceeds to talk about how removing Trackers knife nerfed Lee Sin to extinction

[hlraeth]

Imagine, your name can't be forget because a move is named after you. It's almost the same as saying "I'm Faker" when you execute a successful play.

Whenever enemy picks Lee Sin in Wild Rift, I immediately know its gonna be an auto lose




And when my teammate picks him, i know its gonna be an auto lose

[Beegpapijimbo]

As a S1-S5 Lee main that quit league years ago this video makes me proud
Playing Lee in s4 top lane was like ez mode for first blood
