Gameplay

Lee Sin gets going from level 3, and is a solid all-round champion able to engage and deal damage, while providing utility to teammates.

  • Level 1 - Take Q - Sonic Wave/Resonating Strike for a gap closer.
  • Level 2 - Take W - Safeguard/Iron Will for sustain.
  • First Back - Start on your Goredrinker, or pick up boots.

Tips & Tricks

  • Using Tempest/Cripple is a good way to destroy wards, as you'll activate your Flurry passive.
  • Effective use of this passive is key to managing your energy. Throw in auto-attacks in-between abilities. It also offers attack speed. 
  • You can use Flash during your ultimate's animation, to give the enemy less time to react. 
  • Learning how to use wards to move quickly and unpredictably is the key to great Lee Sin play. 
  • Safeguard/Iron Will is great to use in the jungle, as it activates your passive and gives you lifesteal.
  • Using your Dragon's Rage kick to cut off or finish off enemy champions is a high-IQ play.
