Lee sin build

I made this build so that i know what to do, basically this build is a reminder for me, but also i'd like to share it with you guys. Most of the build is from my personal preferences.

Pros

  • Very good early and mid game
  • Awesome mobility

Cons

  • Kinda tough to play in a late game

Item Build Description

Additional information on the items

Hey, this is my first guide i've ever make, so i tried the best i could do to make this guide helpful.

1. Basically i start with Long SwordLong Sword and grab either a totem ward or control ward based on ur playstyle.

  •     When i take control ward, i'd like to put it in the bush of blue buff and immediately recall to base and switch with trinket/ward and proceed to the first clear (Red).
  •     When i take totem ward if i wanna play invade, i put it in the enemy blue/red buff based on their clear, or i just simply put it near the river to counter rotation

2. My clearing path is usually Red > Chicken > Blue > Crab. Depends on the situational, i usually gank mid while moving to the blue, or just wait till full clear

3. Dont forget to keep an eye to the lane, if u see the enemy pushed too far to our lane, then there's a big chance to gank.

4. While ganking, either u walk first, or use ur SafeguardSafeguard never use ur Sonic Wave / Resonating StrikeSonic Wave / Resonating Strike if u r not sure u'll land it, or just basically use it as a chaser/executioner.

5. Always cycle ur skill with ur FlurryFlurry since u got an attack speed buff after u press a skill, and try to auto attack at least once before u cycle to ur next skill so that u can recover a lil bit more energy.

6. For the build i personally have only 3 core items Youmuu's GhostbladeYoumuu's Ghostblade Trinity ForceTrinity Force and [Guardian Angle].

7. I adapt for the rest of the build, if i see 2 or more mage in the enemy team, i would go Maw of MalmortiusMaw of Malmortius and Force of NatureForce of Nature

8. If their team composition has a lot of tanks/bruisers, i would go Black CleaverBlack Cleaver and Death's DanceDeath's Dance or Mortal ReminderMortal Reminder based on the situation.

9. Death's DanceDeath's Dance is a must item if the enemy team is mostly focused on AD, and also Maw of MalmortiusMaw of Malmortius for AP enemies.

10. For early/mid game i usually focused on farm and gank, invade if there's a chance.

Tips on playing Lee sin

- Dont put ur mindset in somekind of "oh i need to make a flashy move" "i need it for the content" in every fight, make sure u really snowballed real hard then u can proceed to do so, even tho i prefer to play it safe.

- Use ur [Lee sin:2] most of the time to start a fight, and cycle through ur Tempest / CrippleTempest / Cripple , dont forget to AA in between, and use ur Dragon's RageDragon's Rage if its necessary and straight to Sonic Wave / Resonating StrikeSonic Wave / Resonating Strike i prefer use it in a point blank incase the enemy escape, and use the 2nd Sonic Wave / Resonating StrikeSonic Wave / Resonating Strike to chase/execute the enemy.

- Practice ur Dragon's RageDragon's Rage so that u can aim it well to the other enemy.

- U can look up combos in youtube, but most of the time i use, and again dont forget to do AA in between skills if u can.

Q1 > Q2 > R > Flash > W1 ( to pick off enemy ) or, Q1 > Q2 > W1 > R

W1 > E1 > E2 > W2 > R > Q1 > Q2 ( usually for gank )

to start a war i like to pick of and all in to enemy carry/adc if i got the chance, but mostly i would like to play like safe, maybe initiate but not commit to it if u cant maintain the enemy damage, let ur team dip into the war, and help them with everything u have, try to pay attention to the war and if there's a good chance to use Dragon's RageDragon's Rage use it to kick the enemy tank and aim it towards the enemy backline.

Evelynn is somekind of easy matchup, the tough part is she always went invisible

Lee Sin

New Section

In my opinion, Lee sin is the best champ to play with, he got a lot of damage, a lot of skill to play with, and have a lot of playstyle for u to explore. U can be an assassin or bruiser. A good lee sin player know when to get in and when to bail out, and also bailing out doesnt mean he goin to retreat from the fight, His util is pretty unforgiving for low health enemy since his Q2 much better against low health enemy.
