the problem with lee sin has always been:

A. He's an early game beast. Lots of damage, utility, sustain and energy costs allow him to play as aggressive or safe as he wants during the early game.

B. Immense mobility lets him get away from what would be garaunteed flash pops or death for other champs. It also lets him engage from many angles at higher range than many champs as well.

Neither of these would be huge problems even combined if it wasn't for:

C. Late game he can build for tank, fighter, AD assassin. He has itemless utility, great ratios, and some free stats. Whatever gold you get or don't get from your safe early game you will be able to use to build whatever your team needs.

I remember reading these reasons described by either Xyph or one of the other rednames and I agreed wholly with them.
