His damage isn't even that high if you consider that you now have to build him tanky if you want to be useful mid-lane without skill - implying that if you're skillful you can make it work. Anyhow, damage lee sins are bad because if you Q-Q into a team fight you get wrecked by the cc and damage - you're way too squisy. Reason being for high ratios is so that lee sin can still do damage even with one item into the late game, if you look at other champions like maokai, he can still do a lot of damage even when building full tank - don't ask how because I don't know either but I managed to do most damage in a game just building full tank. Champions that have %hp damage are extremely potent, because they can still do damage when building tank, this is not the case for lee sin, his Q damage only scales of %missing health IF you decide to follow you Q up AND it successfully hits the target. Furthermore it's 8% missing health which honestly isn't that much. Consider a 50% hp target, that's essentially 4% max health damage as physical damage pre-mitigation. At level 18, that 4%hp will become 2% post-mitigation, whereas maokai can still do 13% pre and about 7% post.
