Playing as Lee Sin

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Kick your target into your team

    For the Insec, land Sonic Wave (Q), reach the target, ward behind them and jump to it with Safeguard (W): Dragon's Rage (R) kicks them toward your team.

  2. Recast Q on a low-health target

    Wait until your target has lost health before casting Resonating Strike (Q): its damage scales with missing health, and you have 3 seconds to cast it.

  3. Ward hop to escape

    Cast Safeguard (W) on an ally, minions included, or on a ward to dodge or escape: it has a 7-second cooldown and also shields the targeted allied champion.

  4. Get ahead early

    Look for invades, ganks and objectives early on: Lee Sin is strongest early, and his impact drops once the others have their items.

Playing against Rammus

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Stay behind your minions: Powerball (Q) stops on the first enemy it collides with, minions included.

  2. Lean on magic damage

    If you deal magic damage, lean on it in trades when Defensive Ball Curl (W) is on cooldown: without it, his resistances drop to those of an ordinary tank.

  3. Stay out of taunt range

    If you're ranged, don't let him reach melee range when Frenzying Taunt (E) is ready: its range is short, and it forces you to attack him.

  4. Leave his impact zone fast

    Get out of the Soaring Slam (R) area fast: aftershocks repeat the slow there, and if cast during Powerball (Q), it adds a knock-up in the center.

  5. No autos on Defensive Ball Curl

    Don't attack during Defensive Ball Curl (W): each auto returns magic damage to you, and he gains armor and magic resist.
