How do I Lee Sin?

Daedalus871·Feb 10, 2015·2 votes·210 views

I just got Lee Sin and so far I have only played three game with him: 4/9/1 (First game) 13/14/9 10/11/21

So far mashing keys has been alright for getting kills, but I think I am missing some things. When I jungle him, I general get warrior enchant + hydra first. I'm still working on what I should do after that. I'm not all that great at managing item actives, so is sightstone necessary, or can I skip it for something else?

Also any other tips and tricks I need to know?

Edit:

What's with all the hydra hate?

You don't dive every time you hit someone with Q.

You'll be surprised how useful that tip is.

But really tho, the best tip for Lee is just don't play him.

Lee's a really team oriented Jungler, so unless you're dicking around in a significantly lower Elo, or playing with an organized group of people, you're probably not going to get much out of him in Soloq.

Never, NEVER get a hydra as a jungler.

What m8? Rengar w/ Hydra gives great damage, sustain and clear speeds.

Yeah do not get Hydra in the jungle on Lee Sin, typically you go Warrior Enchant into a Sightstone, and if you want any more damage pick up Last Whisper, beyond that you start building tanky.

Furthermore, unless you're like high plat or higher, I wouldn't recommend ever playing Lee Sin, he's exceptionally difficult to utilize properly in this jungle in a solo queue environment. Even if you're exceedingly skilled with him, he takes too much effort to make pay off in comparison to say, Jarvan IV who can be tank, bruiser, or damage depending on what is needed and he applies much better pressure to lanes early on for snowballing.
