Item Build Description

Additional information on the items



For ur enchants u almost always want protobelt for extra mobility and the auto attack reset or locket for the team wide shield. In lategame you can adapt to take stasis to counter burst. The only matchup where I would recommend quicksilver is vs Amumu. Keep in mind that u can always sell ur enchant and rebuy boots with teleport to get right back into the action, and poteantially even reach a baron fight just in time by TPing in.

You can opt into Electrocute as a Keystone if u want more burst, you should take spirit walker vs slow heavy jugglers like olaf. Others are pretty much mandatory as a jungler

Just keep in mind that u don’t need to use wards to jump with s2.

Plus the classic s4 flash and s1 s4 Flash 

Make sure to practice combos in the practice mode using 0cd and target dummys

General Tips/ Gameplan

*ALWAYS focus Dragon Lane (having drake prio and getting adc&sup ahead is soo important in current meta)

*If you are ahead try to invade, gank, take objectives and turrets to push ur lead. Don’t fall into the trap of permaclearing ur own jungle, it can cost you many games

*Make sure to back ASAP if u have a core item ready (Ghostblade,GA,Triforce)

*Try to get boots of speed on an early back (1st / 2nd ) if u have 500 gold left. It helps you gank more and get around the map faster to pace up the game, which is exactly what you try to archived on lee because you fall of in the lategame.

Could use some better formatting and item descriptions but overall an alright guide. Some matchups are odd tho, like Shyvana just giga scales the living hell out of Lee even without drakes. Oh well.

Im trying to update the guide weekly and update matchups every time I find out something new or something gets nerfed/buffed (coreitems, runes, champs)

Why do you not start with 2nd Skill on Lee Sin? Clear will be healthier and faster compared to 1st Skill. I've tried both on Practice Tool.

If u start red or for some reason blue, I agree that u should take s2 first. Hope I could help :)

I then instasmite red and kill it and usually keep my second smite to invade if I do the clear I referred to as clear 1 or keep it for my blue so I can’t be invaded by ex vi that easily/3.smiteForCrab

I usually start raptors/raves so if I start s1 I can clear them faster bcs of aoe auto attacks and s1 dmg on the big one so I don’t have to smite. Then I still have s2 for fast redbuff.
