Should you be forcing ganks as a lee sin jungle

I see many guides say that you shouldnt try to force a gank if you dont see an oppurtunity, but the problem is Lee Sin falls off late and the whole point of lee is to get your lanes snowballing early so we can end early. If you don't see any open oppurtunites as lee sin is it bad to farm the jungle and wait until you see an opening? Or should you try to gank anyways

So I am happy to force those maybe ganks if I know their jungler isn't there. Those maybe ganks usually turn into huge mistakes on Lee if you dive too far or go too hard into a hidden enemy jungle. And you can track their jungle amazingly and counter him a ton if you can't gank if you go sight stone lee

Forcing a gank is when you go for a gank that will almost certainly fail. Never force a gank, it will only put you and/or your lane behind. (here's a tip: don't gank lanes that are behind already, help the lane that is ahead get far enough ahead that they can keep solo killing their lane opponent. After they can do that, then help the other lane, that way you are guaranteed at least one lane that is ahead, instead of maybe no lanes. Once the one lane is ahead, they can usually begin to roam with you as well, for stronger 3 man ganks.) Doing a tower dive is not the same as a forced gank though, and when done right can be utterly demoralizing for the enemy to know they aren't even safe under tower anymore. The part of Lee that falls off late is his damage, and that is when you don't build damage. Late game his role as a damage dealer is changed into a utility front liner (unless you built damage, then you are more of an assassin), so he doesn't fall off in the way you think. Also, you shouldn't have to gank past mid game, that is when everyone should be grouping up anyway.

If there isn't an opportunity to gank, counterjungle. Make sure you invest in wards so both you know where he is and you can escape if you are caught.
