Just how do you do that? this kung fu ward kicking baboon is everywhere every single game i get with a lee sin on the opposite team it's always Q spam and if not that it's flash + r into team and if none of this it's always counter jungling or ward tele he's too strong and it feels as if he has no cooldown since he is just everywhere

Get him to make a mistake with his basic abilities and capitalize on his cooldowns. His kick is very annoying, yes, but it's not impossible to beat it.

And like ChromaSpell said, Lee has a weak late-game.

Well I do have to tell you it depends on how good the Lee sin is. I will have to say though that in general the best way to counter lee sin is to simply outscale him. Just play jax or some very late game hypercarry jungler. Or you could try to be an invading jungler and just smack him in the face. So I mean those two things aren't easy, but they can be done. Best of luck

Depends how good the Lee is. With his number where they are, in the early game you get on your knees and pray either he sucks or he'll have mercy on your pour soul. 99% of junglers can't do much to out pressure him on the map, so its really a question of who is getting the treatment. If he decides he's going to afk camp your jungle, well you better hope you picked someone with mobility and just ride out the pain train until late game

You don't shut down lee sin, he is just too damned powerful, you ENDURE Lee sin. Try not to feed him, wait for 'Lee Syndrome' to kick in. THen he lands a q on your annie mid under tower, and goes in for the insec, only to get Tibberised and shut down.

Late game you have a fighting chance against him. He does fade late game, meaning he gets down to the same power level of everyone else. (He was balanced a year ago, but received a gentle series of buffs, and the new jungle suits him so well). Late game, either he builds pure damage, in which case, you pray you have reliable, preferably non skillshot, hard CC on your team, and explode him before he takes all all of your carries single handed, which he will do, if you lack CC OR, more dangerously, he builds bruiser, dives your team, kicks out a carry to his team, and wins the teamfight. This is more scary, and require more hard CC to prevent.

A juggernaught top or jungle can stop him split pushing past midgame if he builds thornmail. If you have delicate fighters or assassins top and jungle, you're in deep trouble.

Oh yes, he also has a real vulnerability to exploit. His soaring winrate makes him very vulnerable during the ban phase, hit him then....

Lee sin becomes 1 of two things late game. An assassin or a tanky support.

If he becomes an assassin his team may lack a good front line. In which case the lee sin will be forced into going in first as an engage. At which point CC him and focus him down.

If he becomes a tanky support than he is more about the picks and the outplays. He doesn't become something like a god mode hecarim that can just go in and ragnarok your carries to valhalla. He has to get in, at least bait your money spells and attempt a good pick.

in any case your team's mechanism for doing the same thing is probably stronger (you are aware that you kinda want to pick hecarim nowadays yes?) so you can just beat him on the "who dives better" front.

unless he decides he is peeling, at which point you have the initiative and can pick your fights.
