Extreme Threats

Ideal Synergies

Rek'Sai

Extreme

Very Annoying Early on, Get Edge of Night 3rd item and don't let her knock you up with W cause then you will get one shot.

Vi

Extreme

Personally I recently ban Vi since I think it's a really unfair matchup damage wise she outdamage you early on and has better damage earlier..

Kayn

Extreme

I personally will ban this if he goes meta again, most toxic champ you can go against if he gets snowballing, especially a good Assasin Kayn, holy damn.

Maokai

Extreme

Just Über-strong champion, ban if you don't ban Vi / Kayn cause this guy will win any trade against you and deal lots of damage + heal a lot. gl hf!

Elise

Major

Skill Matchup, if you learn how to hit q around the small spiders you will win this matchup earlier on, Ward-jump the Cocoon, get hexdrinker after goredrinker if double ap enemy team.

Udyr

Major

Annoying but if you are good and even you should outtrade him in longer fights. Can for sure be a tanky mf to take down though so get your fists ready.

Wukong

Major

You need to stomp this ape early on or else he will snowball onto you, this guy wins every fight if you both are on 1 / 2 items IMO, his healing with divine sunderer aswell as base armor makes this fight very hard for you.

Kindred

Major

Watch out for Level 2 invade Kindred, ward possibly around herald early on if you start topside against her. The way you win this 1v1 is if you Q aa aa E R Q her and kill her before she gets to ult.

Shaco

Major

You usually wanna invade a shaco before 1:30 to interrupt his clear at first, around 1 minute ~~ get rid of his boxes, when you ever meet him, if you hit q wait for him to Q before you q2, aswell as you can ward-jump to E to him to have his location when he q's cause your E will give vision of him when he is invis.

Ekko

Even

Good early matchup, makes you feel happy about playing Lee Sin early, the best way possible to kill Ekko is Q1, put all your burst at once, R and Q2 so he can't ult In between.

Graves

Even

You want to R Graves before you Q him in many sequences cause in many cases he will / can just E / R away from your q, denying your biggest damage output, you win this matchup early on but get easily outscaled.

LeBlanc

Ideal

Lee Sin Leblanc Combo is one of the best Mid / jgl duos you can have on your team, the mobility of these 2 together is immaculate and you can run around with each other and roam a lot together.

Yasuo

Ideal

Same as for Leblanc, if you hit R on someone Yasuo just insta R and you both take down the target together, really good for 2v2 jgl / mid duos aswell.

Yone

Ideal

Kinda same as the other 2 slightly better than Yone, you first R a target as either of them and then the other R's the target again for maximum burst, very great setup with knockups for you aswell as survivability with the mobility.

Orianna

Ideal

She can always have her ball on you + shockwave aswell which can lead into a good teamfight, would really recommend this duo aswell, you Q in with Orianna ball on you + shockwave = easy kills.

Akshan

Strong

This is a DEADLY combo as you can Insec an opponent into Akshan and the enemy kills you but Akshan revives you again GIGACHAD.

Veigar

Strong

His cage itself can win you a game, you just kick opponent into cage = ggwp.

Thresh

Strong

Great engage aswell setup and can help you out in sticky situations / when attempting a steal on objectives, won't let you down unless bad player.

Shen

Strong

If a Shen has enough faith in you he R's you before you Q2 and you go in together to kill the backline, if not, go next GIGACHAD
