WARNING  LONG ANECDOTE FOLLOW.

several years ago i used to play magic the gathering card game in a turnament, i always loved control decks and at that time i was using "mirari's wish wake deck" which was one of the most complex and with a wide arrange of cards with many uses at that time. At quarterfinals i fought vs a deck what had a combo to get unlimited hp (in mtg you cannot have unlimited stats so my foe just said a too high number to be achieved). i vanquished all his offensive cards but at that time i didnt know what to do to avoid a draw. after 20 minutes mumbling and stressing my head i got an illumination, i elaborated on the spot a way to have unlimited mana and cards. (for those who played at that time i gathered all mana, used obliterate, used second dawn, i had 3 eternal withness so i got 3 card back form gaveyard so i got back obliterate, second dawn and an urza's rage,  with all the lands untapped after coming into game again. unlimited mana and damage and cards). i won that game and even if i lost that turnament at next round is my brightest memory of mtg.

now i ask you, was my deck op? i literaly had answer for everything inside, even for a case i didnt consider at all when i built it. i think no. i had a good deck, a fun deck, a deck that need skill and judgement to be used correctly, but in the right hand ( and  with a bit of luck ofc, it was a card game after all) could fight against everyone.

it is what i think is Lee Sin in this game. yes he is versatile, he can do many many things, but it require alot of skill to make the magic happen and pay his versatility lacking something he really excel at, he is not the best assassin (if so why dont people play him costantly mid and instead prefer zed or talon) he is not a good tank at all, and as duelist is outperformed by any real strong "i smack your face" champion. to me this is a really really good design.

sorry forn the long post but when i tought at that day i couldnt resist

PS being viable in all metas is certantly a sign a good design, i dont really understand why people think one have to suck at a certain point to prove he is not op, what you want a karmic punishment like when looking an handsome, smart, rich, polite, famous man people hope his feet stinks?
