With 8.4 Removing Tracker’s Knife... What Happens to Lee?

Piccolo Rick··1 votes·860 views

I just recently got Lee’s legendary skin via chest and decided to finally pick him up. I’ve only played one game thus far - went really well. But I know ward hopping his a big deal to him. With the less availability of said wards, what jungle item do Lee mains recommend now? Do we keep the yellow trinket? Legitimate questions here. No complaints. Someone help me item 3070

You use the warding trinket with the active item cdr rune, if that isn't enough I'm sure they can find a plethora of ways to break buff Lee Sin.

Maybe now he will have to think about when to wardhop instead of being able to spam his mobility.

his entire kit has been balanced around his mobility, IE his already low viability goes even further down now.

you get wards for clearing camps.

I thought they removed that change off the PBE? I can't log in to my account at the moment to check but I'm fairly that was what I saw over the weekend.

Edit: nvm that's the other change to JG items. Either way I think you answered your own question just keep yellow trinket.

I was thinking about taking trackers knife on support just to get the wards, but rito has thought of everything.

You would have to take smite?

Yeah i know

why would you need that? A successful laning phase can get wards at 7:14 on a good support. If it takes you 12:00+, you're probably not that great of a support.

cant even buy sightstone either

Just buy a item 3311 . A diligently ganking Lee will charge it by about 10 minutes. It's a more useful sightstone but weaker early game oppression.

without early game ganks, lee is actually a terrible champion.

He survived without wards before SS and Tracker and was still a good ganker. He's been completely abusive since they came into the game. Almost no early game counterplay if played right. Just needs a team to coordinate with him so he can Safeguard out until he can get wards. Kind of like how Evelynn needs a teammate early on, or is too slow to even gank.

sorry but hes already a bad champion in this meta, saying he just needs to work around a kit breaking nerf is just ignorant

Well yellow trinket can be used in combat though you will have no vision. Oh wait...

Buy The upgrade after Relic shield or Spellthief , and get control wards untill you upgrade them Sightstone might have been 50 Gold cheaper but this one gives you gold so
