Lee doesn't have a bad matchup. It's an easy matchup especially since E and Q negate her shroud.

Lee Sin is like the most hardiest counter to Akali, your E reveals her and you outburst her pre 6. You probably rotated your abilities incorrectly or you arent using MR runes

Yeah it's really weak to be a melee when you have a cripple, a shield, an insane long range gap closer and escape. Not to mention 3 damage abilities with decent ratios. Right.
What other melee can even come close to boasting those things? (aside from, as mentioned, mebbe Jarv?)

no, that's a really advantageous matchup for lee because akali's primary defense, shroud, is negated by his vision

It is a disadvantage to be melee, and yet compared to most other melees he has far higher damage, sustain, and utility.
He gets a 200 damage shield and 30 armor for 5 seconds on an 8 second cooldown. That compares favorably with just about every other non ult defensive steroid in the game when you take into consideration he can put the shield on others and he gets a dash. Not to mention he is almost always at full health since he vamps up to full ridiculously fast.
I am not saying he is ridiculously OP, just that he has very few disadvantages as a pick compared to almost every other melee champ in the game. Comparing him to non melee champs or APs isn't reasonable since they are filling different roles.

The very fact that Jarvan went from being "OP" to being just fine where he is proves that you can balance high utility by tuning the power level of all the abilities appropriately. High utility is not an intractable balance issue.

The 25 armour, shield and such, they only work in a skirmishy fight. Attack speed slow, all great, but it's all useless when you're against a pack of 5 people who want to instantly kill you in cc and run away if your team tries to capatalize on them focusing you. You need a really strong jungle initiator and you can't reach the ad carry easily unless the jungler gets onto him in which case it's hard to slow
Like lee's 25 armour buff is only when you activate the second w and that's usually a whiile nito the fight since double q and doouble e and w use all your energy until you use passive to get it back.

Lee sin is not really a must pick or ban status in competitive games or solo queue frmo my expierence. sure he's a really strong champion but you seem to be listing all this stuff as making him one of the best tanks in the game? Please. It's nothing compared to mundo ult or udyr shield because lee runs out of energy fast.

think I'm going to adblock own3d streams until the stop with the scare tactic smoking adds, I'm the first one to say watching adds for the players does nothing to you, but this is something I don't want to watch 3 times every 15 min.
and yes, I watched EVERY Chronicle commercial...

I've had to do it myself, I don't really need a reminder of the health costs of smoking and it's just abit disturbing to me. Luckly these campaigns only tend to last like a month.

the thing that grinds my gears about own3d tv is that it allows them to do 3 ads in a row which are all the same. we know for a fact from what twitch has revealed here on TL that showing the same ad to the same person gets the streamer almost 0 money. so why even allow them to piss off their viewers like this?

He is really strong sure, but I don't think he does anything significant'y better than any other champion.
Several melee champs have those things but better... For example Olaf does more damage (both burst and over time), has a slow, and has better sustain. Riven has similar mobility, has consistent AoE damage, and flat out kills things better. Warwick has better sustain, by nature of his lifesteal is better at trading, and has some pretty big utility/damage in his ult.
He does many things well... and is a strong pick by the nature of if you play it right you can realistically win any matchup (aside from maybe Olaf... his damage just isn't there). But I don't think he is some kind of force that auto wins games.

But that's just me. It's kinda like saying Ashe doesn't have any CC saying that Lee Singa doesn't have tanking skills to me. that and it gives you a free wriggles and revolver

It's the providers fault, not the streamer. It's up to own3d to actually have multiple ads so that they don't run the same ad consecutively. I'm sure it's a hell of a lot easier to just throw the same ad out there every time rather than rig up some system that automatically adjusts itself to how many ads are even in rotation. Compound that with how some ads are only shown in some regions and that presumably at some point they want to be able to have multiple disparate ads running consecutively while automatically accounting for regional barriers.
Suffice to say, it's the easy solution for Own3d and it makes them look better to the ad company (or perspective companies) if they're showing the ad that much more, even if they aren't charging or paying out much extra for the consecutive views.

Alex Ich's farm looks normal to me! Its not uncommon to hit 200 farm in just 16-17 mins with Galio mid
|
I'm fine with the ads, they educate smart people(people watching streams) not to smoke(which is bad, since they die), thus causing an overall decrease in the mortality rate of smart people.
But really, the buyatoyota.com commercials are absurdly annoying, even worse than than the Roccat ones in terms of narration. The music is fine though.
|
Lets be honest: everyone already knows Cigarettes are bad for your health at this point. There's not much educating to be done.

Yeah I don't know what the fuss is about. I consider it a sloppy game if I finish a galio mid game with less than 500 cs.
|
reminds me of a singed game where I finished with only 300 cs at 25 minutes. so fucking sloppy.
