Every League of Legends update brings changes, but Patch 14.9 introduced the Lee Sin art and durability update. This overhauled the champion’s animations, voice lines, and skins, leading to an influx of players playing him and contributing to a plummeting win rate.
NEW PATCH 14.16 CHANGES! – League of Legends
According to stats site U.GG, Lee Sin is the second most picked champion in League Patch 14.9, just behind Jinx. To make matters worse, Lee Sin's win rate is only 48.40 percent across all ranks. In Patch 14.9, his win rate has dropped slightly, but his pick rate has increased by five percent.
Although Lee Sin's win rate dropped in Patch 14.9, he is, like Lux, one of the most popular League champions. Patch after patch, his pick and ban rate remain in the top five across all ranks and regions. He didn't get his chance to shine in Season 14, and the last balance update came in Patch 13.19. Lee Sin is easy to pick up, but extremely difficult to master.
Unlike Lux, Lee Sin has many different playstyles. You can play him as a bruiser or assassin, defensive or offensive, and focus on farming or ganking. Furthermore, Lee Sin is strong in the early to mid game but falls back later, making it increasingly difficult to stay relevant.
