^Title, I've been playing a lot of Lee Sin and I'm trying to master the combos he has. Would really appreciate any advice or tips that would help me improve my gameplay.

Practice and Quickcast
Before you attempt to make a play, picture what you're going to do to make that play (I.E. Q - Q - WARD - W - R).
Then think of enemy counter play (I.E. Poppy W prevents Dashes, this includes your Q and W.),
Afterwards think of your own countermeasures (I.E. Q - Q ~~- WARD - W -~~- _FLASH _- R).

That's a basic summary of how to get better.

I like the R --> Flash combo A LOT because there's zero room for them to react to the combo. My biggest issue is transitioning to late game well, the phase when he's just a combo machine.

A good tip for pulling off the Flash Kick is using your ULT then FLASH. The way his Kick is scripted is, a stun is applied before the Kick is performed.

This is good because if you try to Flash then Ult, they have a good few seconds to react to your play and thus you might kick them away if they dash.

Yeah, that was the combo I was referring to. It's great. I think I'll pick up everything else through practice though I'm almost level 5 mastery Lee Sin (which isn't a good metric for measuring player skill but I guess it counts for SOMETHING.)

It's more about 'when' to go in. Sometimes simply landing your q doesn't mean you should take it in. There's a lot of decision making involved and almost every game is different. Did you snowball? then you can afford to build that one ad item at first, feels good man - feels good. didn't snowball? get tanky and be utility.

If you aren't comfortable ward hoping and diving their back line, you can always sit back by your carry's and peel for them with your kick, possibly even knocking up a lot of the enemy front line in the process which usually leads to a won team fight (this is usually what I do as I'm not the best with him.)

but mostly, it just takes playing him and learning his damage and when you can explode people or not. Get ready to lose a lot before you win a lot, just being honest. he's not the easiest of champions, but definitely still worth learning.

Great response, this is exactly what I needed to read right now. Thanks man. Honestly just playing him for the fun and if I get good enough to dominate games with him I'm not going to complain. I think I'm like 9W 20L right now in my recent history or something like that.

Usually when I play defensive on Lee Sin nothing happens and the game drags on but I'll keep trying it, I'm probably just missing something.
