Vars: "Lee sin is living proof that you don't need a champion that does 900000000 things to be interesting and fun" Meanwhile in 2011 everyone complaining that lee sin's kit is overloaded

[@roxygreenwood8345]

The spotlight was to come out in April fool's and the joke was that his ult sent the enemy to the nexus and win the game xDD. I'll never forget I was 13 years old lol still stuck in plat1-dia4 to this very day.

i have no idea about this game but when you do the vid i love it

[@nedimbasic6649]

Do not download it under NO CIRCUMSTANCES. It can only have a highly toxic effect on your life and cause permanent brain damage and/or angermanagement (not kidding at all)

[@twigz3214]

@@nedimbasic6649 that’s a bit extreme. If you can’t handle competition that’s more of a you thing honestly. Also if it’s causing anger man issues you just don’t control it well. You have bad games sometimes, it’s just a bad hand. It’s nice to play a game that you can always learn from your actions in and be better next game.

This man really just taught me what META stands for didn't think it was a acronym

[@deuterium2718]

gets called a "backcronym" sometimes by strangely salty sounding people, but i think thats just a result of confusion with the term "metagame"/"metagaming", which in leagues case would be something like "how many times can i swan dive into the enemy fountain in one game", games within the game, rather than effective tactics

[@mrkillerbott]

with lee, being able to translate raw mechanical skill and time spent practicing things with the champion into dominating wins is super rewarding.

[@Naytdogg]

The answer is simple. He's extremely fun and has a infinitely high skill ceiling

[@SKsuprakirby]

2:16 It was at this moment Yuumi knew... She was fucked.

[@chadhardt6136]

Lee sin is what every champ should be imo, having a really good and versatile toolset that is easy to read but also easy to screw up,it has the potential to work alone. but can work better if you do it with someone else, it can be your sword, jumping to your deadly enemy to kill him or your shield standing back and kicking someone far to keep you away from harm you can get better at lee sin by practice but you can also get some cool play by feeling your gut with a random q into nothingness or a lucky ult into the entire enemy team, he really was ahead of his time.

[@talonx4266]

3 years late but if every champ was like leesin then beginners would have harder times to pick up and might quit. (thats good for the player quitting though)

[@VaggelisIosifidis]

I like sooooo much your comments! This is more professional than any other LoL commenting stuff out there :) About your Darius video, I like the analogy with the friendship-partnership thing, but this was so on point. Keep going, I'll watch the full series!

[@aidanstokes3]

5:42 riven reeeee good videos btw love em :)

[@axelgrobecker8315]

Had the same thougt

[@Homiloko2]

META does NOT mean "most efficient tactic available", that is a backronym

[@humphrey4480]

I was about to comment

[@a.3leamy270]

What does it mean then ?

[@Homiloko2]

@@a.3leamy270 Meta is an abbreviation of Metagaming, which means a strategy that goes beyond the normal rules of a game. So it's a strategy that takes not only the game into account, but also the behavior of other players and the other currently popular strategies, etc.

[@patricklynch4074]

for a future LUX vid (0:58) i play lux cuz i love having those tools with damage. a root, a slow, an aoe farm tool, a shield for allies, and a damage ult. its basically ALL of the tools i want in a champion, where i can carry or support my team at any stage of the game. lux's looks have nothing to do with it, all about her kit options feeling comfortable

[@luisbo3]

You initially mentioned Lux.... i wish you wouldve seen the rave when Ahri was released. It was almost impossible to use her outside a custom game due to the high pick rate at the time.

[@njalsand133]

10:33 this hitbox, and here i thought Asol's Q and Nautilus's Q had janky ones

[@HighLanderPonyYT]

*Forest Law theme starts playing* Ah yes, my reason.

[@lonelydogclub]

Fact is, lee depends on combos and if you play him right, he can always be at the right position and deal damage. His combo is so fast that it leaves the enemies very little time to react. Also, lee's jungle invade and 1v1 duels are one of the best among junglers. If you have the mechanics, there is very few counterpick to lee sin, the blind boxer

[@Me-tp6ll]

Garbage.. khazix is way better

[@submissivekoala]

Kinda expected Vars to make a "haha blind man has 2 reveals on his kit" joke classic comedy like and subscribe

[@Mevenda1]

The only reason he's not seen as overloaded now is because they've made a bunch of other overloaded champs since, like Ekko, Qiyana, Sylas, Irelia (rework), Yasuo, Yone and Kayn.

[@excelsia69]

My main! 🤩

[@reptilianoverlord7627]

Lee is one of the best designed champs in League hands down..

[@baronbacku9984]

lee has 6 basic abilities and nobody bats an eye, but a shapeshifter gets 6 basic abilities, out of which you can access only 3 at a time and everyone loses their minds

[@IcarusOOT]

God seeing Sylas referred to as viable in the jungle hurts

[@SexyRudolf]

I have another question vars, im a former lee sin main and I’ve been thinking about picking him up again to play in a little team my friends and i have started, do you think is worth the try?

[@VarsVerum]

If you're a bit rusty on him get some practice to warm up :P

[@SexyRudolf]

@Sharp Side thanks for the reply!!!

[@SexyRudolf]

@Sharp Side hahaha any time is a good time to give your two cents

[@SexyRudolf]

@Sharp Side hahaha at that time i did yeah. And throughout the season (especially the middle of it) lee has been super strong, so yes i have been enjoying him a lot. Not so much now though, i feel like rek’sai fulfills the same role as him more easily right now, sometimes it’s the other way around.

[@SexyRudolf]

@Sharp Side yeah, qiyana in my experience plays very similar to nidalee, but has more self peel. I too really like nida. Good luck to you too!!

[@SexyRudolf]

Hey man!! Why do you think lee has that low of a winrate in all elos? I would like to know your opinion about it

[@SexyRudolf]

By the way, awesome vid!! Im that guy from reddit who told u he was subbing

[@VarsVerum]

Lautaro Colli generally speaking. Champions with a high skill cap will naturally have lower winrates because they take so many games to play on the same level as other champions. And while eventually the reward pays out and they can reach much higher win rates once mastered, the majority of players never get to that point. Also, lee is in a relatively weak state at the moment compared to other junglers who can output damage much faster and more consistently like khazix and reksai even if they don’t move around as much. Lee also falls off late game around 30+ minutes which contributes to his lower win rate since statistically speaking the average game length is 25 minutes or so. That and having a high pick rate also means a lot of inexperienced players which means low win rate on high skill champs.

[@SexyRudolf]

I dont really like lee sin on my team because he doesn't have a distinct thingg that he does. For example, Kayn can be either tank shredder or assassin, J4 can be tank and lockdown, heck Rengar can oneshot and Fiddle can jumpscare. Lee is selfish, his shield tinyyy and doesnt really... do anything really, really good. Plus Im in low elo so late game lee also suck

[@platfucjuszkrzywostopy4861]

One of the most fair kits in the game? Are we playing the same game? I mean, he has literally everything in his kit. He has: 2 dashes, life steal, skillshots, shield, dmg, slow, knock ups, no mana and reveal.... if that is fair idk what isnt then(besides Yasuo obviously)....

[@shingfanchan9801]

Look at those pro Lee Sin , doing all kinds of ridiculous stylish move, go in and out several times in a fight, who don't want to play the game this way? Lee Sin is weak in late game. If you can't win within 25 mins and your team's lee have lots of kills and carry the game, there is an decent chance you will lose.

[@ganbu7880]

As long as you have a decent lee sin you can easy win late game, you q the adc when araming it mid the flash kick ward hop out. You just win the fight

[@alex2005z]

It doesnt matter how weak he is if he can kick the adc into his team.

[@itz_mahdi_matchpoint1112]
