The Champion That Can't Be Nerfed: The Story of Lee Sin
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 жов 2020
- Metas shift in League of Legends. Champion picks come and go.
But there’s ONE champion that always seems to weather the storm, and it isn’t because he’s always the strongest. It’s because when it comes to showing off how mechanically skilled you are, there’s no one like him.
To truly prove that you belong among the best junglers in the world, you have to show that you have a Lee Sin.

Its kinda funny how vision is one of the most important thing for the players of the Blind Monk
well duh, he's blind (:
How much vision he be needing tho? HAHA
His name when said sounds kinda like “listen”
Ironic.
You regard
I never thought for a second I would see a RossBoomsocks clip in a The Score Esports video, but there you go.
Rosssss
I just read this comment in Ross his voice and now it's stuck in my head
wait where

What I love about playing Lee Sin is the "My mind is telling me no, but my body. My body is telling yes!" moments. The decisions that can tell whether you will win or lose your game.
I bought him, i suck playing him as a Jungler so I opt him for a support role
When your mind is telling you no but you hit your q
Also known as Leesindrome
Or the moments you misclick an Insec and kicks the enemy Amumu into your team
Why did i sing to your moment
Insec‘s first insec was so revolutionary that it wasn‘t even caught on cam since no observer could have seen it coming
"Junglers today still know..."
Uh, you mean toplaners today.
You also mean mid laners right?
He is not only meta for toplane
you mean river laner?
One of the funnest characters to play in any game :-) I loveeeeeee my blind monk boi
Lol the actual Arikadou here and just one hour ago on a video of 10 days ago. Oops apparently I'm not subbed on this account, I'll fix that.
ayy its the troll pro genji dood
didnt think i'd find you here
The fuck you are doing here lol
Ofc the genji god plays lee, it’s only natural
1:43 - 1:47
Wow, there was already an Ornn easter egg way back 2011! Cool!
LMAO 😂
Ornn might be in a video 2-3 years from now
that took me a bit to understand but holy shit i laughed hard
I don’t get it :(
@@ndyoyo1905 same :(
I see diamondprox i press play and like, he literally the reason i got into playing leesin way back late 2012.
more to say: M5 has brought me to the competitive LoL scene. First time i saw them at IEM Kiev and there it has begun...
P.S old good league times. I remember a beautiful things such as ap yi, ap xin, nashor tooth tryndamere, inifinite dodge passive jax with rabadon hat, old twisted triline, crit runes and masteries, deathfire grasp and more...
I never thought of Diamondprox as a very gifted mechanical player, But his in game IQ was insane.
lee sin was the first champ i saw playing jungle back in 2011
Diamondprox good. Miss good ol m5
I honestly paused the vid to type something similar and now I am here.
It's funny because i first played Lee Sin when i accidentally buy him on 2014, at first i thought what the hell is this champion? his hard to use and his damage on late game is low. My friend told me to watch how pros play Lee then i decided to watch and get mind blown how pros play him. I practice Lee many times back then when there's still no practice tool. Back in 2014 i get only gold elo but with Lee Sin i manage to climb Diamond elo and now I'm on my way to Grandmaster thanks to Lee.
Aight dude.
Damn dood that was motivational
@@whyhe11othere jelly
@@iolandapodeanu6306 aight dude
name checks out
And now in wild rift, he can even use his W without ward or ally, making the insec combo really easy to pull off
What a joke
You can't really ward hop in WR, can you? The insec is an essential combo for Lee sin so they had to make adjustments to compensate.
@@XepherIo Yeah, i just mention it. I didn't mean i dislike it or something. Just sharing the info in case someone don't know
So just a dash with shield?
@@danne696 yep
I thought that was Sagat in the thumbnail and I was like “I’ve never heard of this Sagat player..”

The K/DA ALL OUT EP is SOOOOO GOOD. All their songs have been released on Spotify and the official League of Legends channel. The lyric videos for each song are coming out soon!
Villain - 11.13
Drum Go Dum - 11.20
I'll Show You - 11.27
Which song is your favorite? :O
same lol
Lee Sin before: INSEC IS SO HARD TO EXECUTE EVEN BY PRO PLAYER STANDARDS
Lee Sin now: Yea I just 'q r ward flash w q e tiamat protobelt qss zhonyas 5 man kick' no big deal
R with flash, izi insec
In season 2 when the insec kick was invented there was no "quick cast" option in the interface, so doing an insec kick required twice as many inputs.

The score: "Lee Sin, the Champion that can't be nerfed"
Proceeds to talk about how removing Trackers knife nerfed Lee Sin to extinction
= the score esports in a nutshell
...? The whole point is that it didn’t lmao. Tracker’s knife isn’t in the game and people still play Lee Sin a lot.
Extinction? That’s not true. No tracker knife just taught lee sin players to use their wards properly and made low elo players buy control wards.
He's nerfed to extinction, yet proplay junglers will literally pick Lee into most any comp
@@StardustNxva Yes, but he is far from his glorious days. He has good early but in mid to late he is pretty much just his ultimate.
Lee: q-q flash out
Casters: OH MY GOD
Oriana and Lee, basically immune to meta shifts considering how old they are and how dominant they've been in pro play pretty much every season at some point
Also Rumble.
Riot hates him, always tries to Nerf him to the ground...
And he's always back.
Nah ori was kinda shit this season you had to be really good at her to work in pro her items are awful so it takes 50x the work to survive in team fights
Lee sin, Orianna, Twisted Fate, Malphite
Enemy Yasuo
Whenever enemy picks Lee Sin in Wild Rift, I immediately know its gonna be an auto lose
And when my teammate picks him, i know its gonna be an auto lose
Every single time
Wild rift lee sin is broken tho
@@ankit5817 Yea his W doesn't need ward
For me is Ezreal since manamune works really well for him...
Olaf jungle: Let me introduce myself.
Back when lee sin was released i was a hardstuck bronze player. After he was released i was fascinated with him immediately, the outplay potential was insane. All my friends trolled me for playing "useless" champion, but i carried myself into gold with him (back in lee sin days, gold was second highest rating iirc). Unfortunately, once season 2 worlds hit, my glory days were over.
Imagine, your name can't be forget because a move is named after you. It's almost the same as saying "I'm Faker" when you execute a successful play.
Yeah.. Just like madlife and xpeke! Its such an honor unless it was a bad move 😅
Insec is more phenominal tha Faker
I am so happy that Broxah got some spotlight in this video, that man may not be the best jungler but just his personality alone makes him the best suited for pro play.
“Scaling champions, like Jarvan”
OmegaLUL
Yeah was that a pun tho
Ahahahahahahaha OMEGALUL UPVOTED POGGERS
Hi! I just started playing league of legends and hit level 30 last week. I can't wait to show off my lee sin in my first few ranked games!!!
Thank you for inspiring me!! Fighting!!
Happy 10 year aniversary for Lee sin!!
Really, an iconic and amazing champ that would really test if you're good at mechanics or not, and it's also really addictive and fun learning about his machanics from scratch.
All this did was make me happysad seeing all those pro names. Thanks for the trip down memory lane x
I became a jungle main because of Lee Sin. Such an amazing character.
Pc LoL: “Pros grind 10000 matches to acquire inSec move”
Mobile LoL: “Safeguard is a fucking dash” 😂
I mean it would be really hard to pull off a ward hop in mobile
Don't remind me his kick still hurts T-T
I have been playing league since season 1 there were only 2 servers NA and EU, and you had to wait sometimes a few minutes just to enter, many times servers crushed down and riot gave you rps for causing such a problems :) And M5 team made me interesting in competitive league of legends. Still remember their IEM Kiev performance. What a memories...
As a S1-S5 Lee main that quit league years ago this video makes me proud
Playing Lee in s4 top lane was like ez mode for first blood
ahh the good ol days when lee could be played top.
@@immanuelhpj3707 he still can
This brings back memories. I used to be a jungle main with Lee sin . I missed kicking enemies 😃.
the good old days of Season 4 where his splash art is him posing in the rain and my favorite item on him besides the sight stone is brutalizer then to black cleaver and youmuu’s ghostblade (with crit)
Gilius, Gilius, King of Lee Sin, ascend to godhood and grant me this win!
0:22 Zed and Azir: Am I a joke to you
Wild Rift Lee Sin: "remove all the wards u want*
Petition for SofM’s story time. His World journey is amazing
He noob
Huanfeng has a better story overall as a person
When I read the title, I thought this was an Exil video! He did a video on Lee Sin much like this one almost a year ago.
man i still gasp everytime i see the play vs ig, just spectacular!
Nice to have content like this again
One of the most iconic champions without a doubt
You need to do the same type of video with characters from every franchise; Dota, R6, OW, Street fighter, Tekken, smash, etc.
To think having your name on a signature move/combo on a character is just so cool to me
It's really great to have Josh Bury narrate a TheScoreEsports video wgain
I can't wait for the ruined king to come to league, he just looks so cool
@@mars-kw8xo totally, I hate her lore and maybe riot can make TRK a cool champ that people love ( tbh I hope he is mid so us mid players can have another champ lol )
@@mars-kw8xo that works just as good imo the jungle mains really need something new

11:40 “that meant prioritizing scaling champions such as sejuani and JARVAN” good one
LOL. My thoughts
ayooo been waiting for this video like crazy. The legend of League. The blind monk.
lee sin + tracker's knife was the most fun experience i had in all my league playtime
Ngl, Lee is one of the best mechanically designed characters in any game
Balanced mechanically designed character
@@gungnir5031 yup lee sin in league and earth spirit on dota
Invoker: Am I a joke to you?
@@ineptadept3251 he said mechanically. Invoker is the best skill caster
@@buddyblris3094 bruh, have you played invoker and dota 2? Lee Sin's skill set cant be compared to Invoker's skill set when it comes to dishing out combo spells or doing flashy plays. Lee Sin's has 4 skills with sub skills. While Invoker has to juggle 3 orbs to evoke every 2 secs just to cast 10 unique of each own use spells. Git gud LoL players
lee sin has never seen two pretty best friends
Love that Josh Burry VO
I had originally started playing lee sin because I was a jungle main and I was sick and tired of losing games to lee sins and getting my ass beat by them so I decided to play him and try to learn him in hopes of having a better time fighting him and learning his weaknesses, years later and he’s probally in my top 3 most played champs, he’s one the funnest champs in game once you learn how to do all the gimmicks and can express your own style while doing it
lee sin before: Q ward Second Ult Q is hard
lee sin now:15 keys in 1 seconds
Brooo I'm a lee main bronze one, I have four months of experience in league Lee is so addicting, when u turn a teamfight with a sick kick flash, there's not a better feeling in the game.
Yeah its just sad that climbing with him is nearly impossible, as there are just easier junglers that does things better.
@@alexmichl3137 and those junglers counter him cough nunu and warwick 😭
Man seeing them loading screens really brought a tear to my eye the better days of League. When it was trying to make a story.
Oh sick, Lee is an Aries!! Let’s goooo!!!!! He’s got the same birthday as my grandad. Welcome to the family Lee. I knew there was a reason I loved you.
" So hard to execute" Lmao those good old simple times bois
back when you only have 1 ward for warp jumps with wriggles but it doesnt matter since lee sin 1shots anyone with his high base damages
@@evergreencapsule466 You must be bronze to think that he can one-shot because of high base stats.
Yeah, tell that to every inting Lee on my team.
@@sonny9511 base stats is different than high base damages. You should try attending school, maybe you'll learn the difference you uneducated swine.
lee can one shot anyone at during release.
He has so much damage in his kit. his ult alone had a 600 base damage with 200%ad scaling. His numbers were so high that soon after all his skills had their values reduced.
@@sonny9511 Silvers players dont know how to play lee sin
Me: *remembers Tracker's knife and Sightstone*
Also me: Look how they massacred my boy.
There are some crazy rumors around Perkz this offseason, where would you like to see him end up?
I still remember that Lee Sin + Ruby Sightstone = infinite chances for inSec kicks. Good old times.
i remember buying lee sin back in season 4 and wonder what this champ was. Bought him and got a penta first game on normal with my friends (honestly i dunno how lol) and to this day i still love him and forever will.
who remembers the first games playing lee after they removed trackers knife :(
He's easier to control in Wild Rift, making him more OP than he already is, especially if controlled by the right user and given the right build and runes.
Wild rift is not a real game haha please dont compare
@@dramamine755 "boohoo mobile game isn't actual game", just stop with this bullshit. mobile games already become one of the biggest genre in esports rn. take a look at PUBGM tourney, or AOV. also just wait till Riot make world tourney for Wild Rift as well.

U mean chou is like lee sin?
Chou is phenomenal in ml though
Yessss
Ye, but waaaayyyyyyy harder Chou.
Chou was Lee Sin's offspring and yeah. Chou also cant be nerfed.

2020 Chinese Lee Sin players: "Haha, Lee sin go Brrrrrrrr".
If you are talking about sofM then he is Vietnamese, not Chinese.
:v wtf Chinese ?
I said Chinese not Vietnamese,
Sofm's Lee sin isn't that great to be recognized yet.
Im talking about Edwin leo's Lee sin.
lol I was soooo hype for this to be a Legends of Runeterra video...Lee recently dominated the meta for a month or so over there, too. XD
Dude wtf why would he make a video about lor
The energy from the crowd and commentary in ghis video reminds me of my WWF/WWE days. It's the same, it really is and I appreciate it.
The WWE in its's entirety was a very cherished thing in my life, but alas, it fell through for me around a decade ago. The games still have a very special placd in me heart though.
I need to try and watch some pro LoL to be reminded of those days. Esports in general seems to be becoming a titan in it's own respect.
I have come to recognise Faker as Rifter to follow(if you will). I need to do some more digging, but for the chr Lee Sin, is it me or does he kinda dound like Hanzo from Overwatch, I might wanna try him meself at some point, will Wild Rift be holding a Chinese Newyear celebration?
Anyway, I am truly loving Wild Rift, but I have entertained thd idea of playing OG LoL due yo the censorship in Wild Rift.
Now I wznna be clear on something, was there a version of LoL released on mobile before Wild Rift, because I sometimes heard LoL mobile being referred too.
If there is a mobile version of Wild Rift, have the censored chrs been implimented yet?... one chr I wanna try is OG Shyvana!
Anyway, me main chr right now is Jayce for the Piltover event and this actually references a crucial part of me childhood. I used to watch a totally epic cartoon called Jayce and the Wheeled warriors, so in Wild Rift I use the term, Jayce and the Piltover Warriors.
Think of it as you will but certain have this kinda stint with me, so for me personslly, playing Wild Rift was a part of me destiny to play.
Ty Riot, thank you so much!]:3
fun fact:
the name "Lee sin" is derived from the word "Listen"
same can be said with Brand, with means Fire in scandinavia
I didnt know that, but the word 'brand' is associated with fire in english too. If you 'brand' something it means burning a mark onto it.
@@bulma12345678910 but directly translated to fire in scandinavia.
@@zZz-uq2vr @LoliALF scandinavia isn't a language
@@Sneeqi Good thing he never said that then. 'Brand' is directly translated to fire in all Scandinavian languages, hence he wrote "in Scandinavia (the region)" and not "in ScandinaviaN" which wouldve been the correct attribute to a language...
Rio Phillips yes sir :)
"Welcome to League of Legend Spotlight"
not to mention he has the most animation cancels / difficult combos to execute in the whole game on top of the ward hops.
Lee Sin and Kha'zix main here before I quit 5 years ago. He really was fun to use because sometimes you can laugh at your fails and be amazed at your own plays that you didn't think that you can do.
with teh new item (especialy kha ) u can still have that
but league consume souls so at your own risk
In wild rift, he looks like Sagat 😂
Who TF is sagat?

This is the champion that made me like League in the first place
Thank you so much Wild Rift for making Lee Sin more than viable. This champ has gone through so much and it's very delighting seeing the champ get picked often.
Better have a Story of Orianna and Thresh, because they both also appears in every worlds because of their kit.
A massive kick to throw the enemy
Me laughing in old xin zhao R multiple throws and enemy team gets one shoted by one ult
Who?
@@neilpatrick1553 !???
2:25 Politicians in the future of our generation 😂
You probably should do one on Akuma's always being good in every game he is in. Also is importance to the FGC.
This made me remember the day they made W unable to jump to wards... and they reverted it almost instantly lol
While Azir mains be pulling out the Shurima Shuffle and never getting recognition.
imo Azir's combo is easier than inSec
Insec is god of lee sin🔥
Diamond popularized evelynn🔥
16:45 imagine selfmade still alive, that would be a 4 man knockup
next I really wanna see a champion who can't be BUFFED
Am I the only one that never knows what's going on in these league clips? It's so hard to follow the action.
I mean if u dont play, u dont know. Like I dont know what happens in dota or overwatch
Facts... this game is very hard to keep up with if you don't watch it often
@@sonixka257 dota yes but OverWatch is a little easier to follow.
Don't worry, if you don't play league that much then the game will look like how a seizure feels
i play league so i follow it quite well, but when i watch other games i struggle to follow the action. It depends on how much time you commit to understanding the game
Did he just said „scaling champion“ and „jarvan“ in the same sentence?
With huge amouth of skill combos one will always prevail, one that everyone uses, one so strong it cannot be replaced, its R QQ
The story of huanfeng - he didnt win but he still had an amazing story
I thought I was watching an Exil video at the start
Yeah, me too! But his video on Lee Sin came out almost a year ago.
might as well be since the score likes to copy stuff without giving credits to the original creators
A decade later, Lee is still one of the best jungler.
Even in wild rift
so well made
When they took away Tracker’s and everyone thought that would nerf Lee Sin into the ground. 🤦♂️
bad timing after he was non-existent in Worlds.
thank you for amazing video
The fucking Muay Thai skin. That skin means "you are going to be embarassed so hard by the blind monk that you'll end up wondering who's the blind one". I respect and fear the Muay Thai Lee Sin.
"Great western Lee sin player"
Jenkos.
Pick one.
He isn't really good on Lee
Broxah>Him when it comes to Lee Sin
The thing is that Champions with a unique kit(or op kit) can’t be really changed by stat nerfs/buffs. You’re gonna have to change the kit...but lee‘s kit is too Interesting and cool to change
Lee sin is Dominating Wild Rift right now! Even after they nerf after nerf each patch!
Lee Sin will always be one of the sickest champions Riot has ever designed
Yeah and in a good way. I never played him, but I always admired how well its design seems. Especially, when the hero was a joke for long and nobody really expected him to ever come out, let alone with such a good design:)
Can someone pls tell me where did they get the clip of lee sin on 0:24
i love how they put insec and diamondprox in the thumbnail 🤣
Can someone tell me the name of music used from 0:04 to 1:25
this makes me want to learn this champion now
the fact I just picked him last game. 6 videos about Lee Sin just came up on my recommendation after opening UA-cam.
