Lee Sin is probably one of the representative faces of League of Legends with a strong shape, a skilful and manoeuvrable skill set that makes Lee Sin one of the few champions regardless of the meta (perhaps only after each Yasuo). However, few people know that Lee Sin’s first skill set is extremely weird
Once a promising Lee Sin mage from Ionia, Lee Sin is a blind monk who sought redemption at the Shojin Monastery for a terrible mistake that cost innocent lives. In the midst of the Noxian invasion, his power became one with his flesh in a way none could have foreseen. With burning Flurry fists and inhumanly powerful roundhouse kicks, he fights those who dare despoil his homeland.

Lee Sin’s original design of the game was inspired by DotA Allstars developers when the first game developers of League of Legends is Guinsoo or PenDragon moved from the custom map to LoL. The original set of skills of this champion is a bit of a low range, which is extremely popular in DotA when having both cloning and the ability to increase critical damage.
However, this version of Lee Sin created too many game errors, especially in the final clone when the game platform of the League of Legends then did not allow. As a result, this Lee Sin project was removed, instead, Riot Games created a version more familiar to current gamers. It can be said that Lee Sin is the most important champion in League of Legends history when it pushes players to elevate their skills to a very high level.
