User blog comment:A2poc/1: Fun vs. Fact: Lee Sin/@comment-8506165-20140507221406/@comment-8506165-20140507234034

"High risk" implies that if Lee doesn't snowball, he's useless. This is just patently untrue - Lee can easily come back from being 0/2 because his bases are just so ridiculously good and he can build tanky while still dealing high early-game damage.

Lee can also get away with making some ridiculously bad plays that no other champions can make because of his mobility - I can't be the only one to have seen a Lee Sin screw up horrendously but then get away perfectly cleanly nonetheless. That, to me, does not scream "high risk". Yes, he can make high-risk plays sometimes, if the reward is great enough (SuInsec, anyone?), but that doesn't mean everything he does is high-risk.
