The classic Insec combo: Q onto the target → ward behind them → W to the ward → R to kick toward your team. Practice the fluidity of the ward-hop.
The 2nd Q deals % missing HP damage — wait until the target is low before reactivating to maximize burst.
Use W (Safeguard) on a minion or ward to dodge skillshots — Lee Sin's mobility is his greatest asset.
Your E (Tempest) reveals invisible enemies (Akali, Vayne, Shaco) — use it if you lose vision of a stealthed champion.
Lee Sin is an early/mid game champion: force invades, ganks, and early objectives because you scale worse than most junglers.

Playing against Lee Sin
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
Watch the bushes early: Lee Sin often looks to invade your jungle at level 2-3 thanks to his dueling power.
If Lee Sin misses his Q, he loses everything: his engage, damage, and mobility all depend on landing Q. Play aggressively during the cooldown.
Stay away from your carries in teamfights — Lee Sin looks to kick a target toward his team with R.
He scales poorly into late game — if you survive his aggressive early game, you'll likely have the advantage after 25 minutes.
