Because there's zero value in having 11 pots on hand. He hits every item timing 385 gold later. It's essentially tantamount to starting with -22 CS. That number lessens in scenarios where he would use pots, but it doesn't lessen by that much until the game goes quite long.

You make that gap close faster by trading with him and making scenarios where he'd use his pots.

If you're being so pussy that you won't even last hit until level 3, then you will get behind 22 cs. In fact, if someone plays that pussy they don't touch a creep until it's on their tower, and even then you could get zoned off some last hits. Playing passive is a way to make the pots wasted, but if you give up lane control level 1 you could lose the match up without a jungler willing to camp your lane. Zero value in 11 pots? So all 11 pots are wasted? I think you're exaggeration your point a bit, which is strange because usually you're more sound in your logic. I still love you Yango, but you're wrong.

I interpret the 11 pot start as trading gold for exp in lanes where you have a really bad matchup or you want to crazy engage and zone. Since you're burning through money, you need to be actively denying the other laner money as well by zoning them, and then picking up the level advantage from the exp. After a certain point, the lane is just over. Ofc, jungle presence can throw this all off.

Making jungling even harder? wtf...

That depends on the jungler. On lots of the junglers I tested on the PBE it was actually easier. It's only those junglers who are utterly reliant on AoE abilities to clear effective who dropped in effectiveness.

Lee's kit isnt too strong. Having a champion with really high mobility is fine and so is a melee only champion, their just needs to be a strong enough incentive for you to play the melee only champion which should include very high base damage and high tank stats. Riots being careful buffing udyr because m5 did very well with him recently and that was with same state as he was but 20 more points on shield. S3 item nerfs hit him hard which is why they buffed his passive and they should probably buff his shield back to 220 but overall he's pretty strong.

Jax jungle could actually be better than ever now ? Doesn't much rely on AoE to clear, and with increased gold he can build all he wants.

Did I miss something? Did Weixiao leave WE for Royal or is this a different guy?

Jax doesn't need Wriggle's, just sit on Machete for a while and build other things.

Edit: In fact, no jungler needs Wriggle's.

Lee says it himself. Blindness is no impairment against a smelly enemy.

Which has nothing to do with being crippled.

I'm now suggesting that Lee Sin is evil because, not content to be the only handicapped person in League of Legends, he sets out to cripple everyone else.
