Talk:Lee Sin/@comment-9705522-20130812125344

there is one thing that really annoys me lately. lee sin players that claim that lee is hard and balanced. like, really? we know that both things are wrong. first to the balanced part. in koreas ogn he is the third most picked or banned champ together with tf at about 91%. he beats jayce, who in the patch they play on is broken. he is only outpicked/banned by elise and thresh, and i dont have to explain those. and to top it off, he is also one of the 2 champions that have over 70% pick rate and still a win rate of over 50% with 56% i believe. the only other champ that has that is elise. other than that he is also picked more the higher the elo is. gold elo, 3d most picked. plat elo, second most picked. diamond, most picked. and pick rate is dependent on 3 factors. number of alternatives, the biggest one. for example, ad carries. there arent many ad carries, so there will always be at least 2 in the top 10 of pick rates. obviously, since lee can fit many roles he has a shitton of alternatives, so thats not it. the second biggest is level of difficulty, which is where him not being hard comes in. hard champions never get picked a lot unless there arent many alternatives. orianna, even back when she was uberbroken, wasnt even in the top 15. lee sin is alway in the top 3. that means, since he has a lot of alternatives two things. a, he is very easy, else he would be picked MUCH less. and b, he is not balanced. again, there are many alternatives, and others that are easier. yet lee gets picked most of the time. that means that he has to be stronger than the rest, else the rest would be picked. though in his case, the brokenness comes from his kit. more specifically, the fact that he can do everything, and has no real downside. he can fit almost any role, can build almost anything and so on.
