Question about lee sins safeguard/iron will

Pixelhouse·10/2/2016, 4:11:15 AM·1 votes·489 views

hello, I'm trying to learn lee sin and i have a noob question. When jungling sometimes i can activate the shield and sometimes i cannot(without ward hoping or hoping to a teammate). Sometimes while fighting camps the W button lights up (clickable) and it does nothing, and sometimes randomly it seems when doing a camp i can. So how does it actually work in order to use it?

Thanks in advance

You can cast it on yourself.

The first part of W is castable on yourself. It gives the shield. After casting the shield, you can then re-cast it to increase your lifesteal and spellvamp for a few seconds. Then, the spell goes on cooldown until you can use the shield again.

I assume you're using the shield, then trying to use it again but the second portion is what is off cooldown.

It's a self-cast rather than an "activate-able" skill think like:

Mundo W (the rotating fire) : activate-able (press and it automatically starts) Lissandra R (freezing either herself or an enemy): self-cast

so if you aren't casting it on an external target, you either:

a) have to hover your mouse over yourself and cast it or... b) alt - w to automatically self-cast it
