You're ult counters hers, kicking anyone about to get saved to their doom.
Elise
Her stun counters your q, against a good Elise player she will always staun you on your way to q her. Wait to countergank and kill her after she has used her stun.
Rek'Sai
Same thing with Elise, if Rek'Sai can time her unburrow correctly it can cancel your q.
Tahm Kench
It's kinda hard to insec someone when they get eaten.
Morgana
It's kinda hard to insec someone when they can't be cc'd.
Ahri
High mobility, Line Skillshot CC, and true damage. Not fun for Lee Sin.
Diana
High burst, high mobility, slow that can cancel your abilities, hard to escape from. No fun allowed.
Kalista
Hard to land q's due to passive, add that to the ability to cc you by throwing a support in your face doesn't make a very fun time for Lee Sin.
Alistar
The ultimate cockblocking super cc machine 3000 MK II. It is extremely hard to touch any of the champions he doesn't want you to touch. A good Alistar player will have no trouble shutting down a play-making carry like Lee Sin. If duo'd with a Kalista stay clear of bot lane, literally the no fun allowed lane for Lee.
Azir
His ult counters a lot of plays you will be able to make, and his long range poke makes him a viable threat to Lee.
Olaf
A tank that evolves into an unkillable non-cc'able killing machine that runs straight at your back line and there's nothing you can do about it.
Dr. Mundo
Mundo eventually gets so incredibly tanky that he is impossible to 1v1, most fights will be you ulting him away from your carries.
Nocturne
A spellshield is Lee Sin's worst enemy, and one that gives his enemy offensive stats makes him a formidable foe for Lee Sin.
Renekton
Point-and-Click CC, high damage, and innate tank stats make Renekton quite the annoyance as Lee Sin, beware of ganking his lane if your top laner lacks hard cc.
Skarner
The Ultimate counter to the insec play, if a good Skarner sees a Lee even THINK about kicking one of Skarners teammates he's going to get ulted instantly, preventing any plays from being made.
Akali
Super Squishy, You counter her stealth, and your ult counters hers, you should be able to 1 shot combo her with no problems.
Evelynn
Low HP, useless passive, shouldn't pose any threat to Lee, the only reason she isn't the lowest threat is due to the possibility of her early gank pressure.
LeBlanc
High Mobility, Line skillshot cc, extremely hard to hit with your q's. Beware of ganking a Leblanc lane post level 6 unless your mid laner has easy to hit hard cc.
Gragas
Low CD cc and damage reduction, a Lee Sin's worst nightmare, beware of 1v1'ing a Gragas anytime in the game, you will get tossed around like it's nothing.
Darius
Same thing as Malphite, camp him early on, prevent his armor and hp stacking as long as possible and take advantage of his low mobility.
Malphite
You need to pressure Malphite early on, while his mobility is low and his armor isn't on an ungodly level yet.
Kayle
A good Kayle player can single-handedly shut down a Lee Sin. Due to Lee's cooldowns being above aveerage in fights, usually only getting one rotation of your ablities per skirmish, her ult can counteract all of your burst, then her q will slow you as her e takes you down with ease. The only reason she isn't higher on the threat level is your ult provides some counterplay and there aren't that many Kayle players around.
Lulu
Hard to burst, hard to cc, and targeted cc, Lulu can be a huge pain in the ass no matter what lane she is in.
Fizz
Extremely slippery, hard to catch, and if he gets on you there is a very high probability that your life is over.
Veigar
High burst, easy to land stun (seeing how lee sin can only go one direction with his q). The only reason he isn't a higher threat is his extremely low mobility.
Nidalee
Nidalee is an interesting matchup for Lee Sin and there will always be 2 sides to the argument. In my mind whoever lands the q wins the matchup. If Nid gets ahead though or counterjungles you efficiently you are going to have a hard time ramping back up before she takes over the game
Xin Zhao
Extremely good 1v1 potential, Xin is a definite threat towards Lee Sin, seeing how you will almost never be able to 1v1 him. Use his lack of mobility and his "Always go in" mentality to throw his squishy ass into your team so they can obliterate him.
Thresh
His flay and hook counters your q if timed correctly which can be extremely troublesome seeing how if you get hooked or flayed the other will happen to you and you are most likely dead if the ad is on top of you as well. Beware of ganking a thresh lane if you get too far from your bot lane.
Jinx
Extremely low mobility and squishy, Lee should be able to take Jinx out with one combo or easily insec her into your team
Kog'Maw
Extremely low mobility and squishy, Lee should be able to take Kog'Maw out with one combo or easily insec him into your team
Zed
Squishy, usually doesn't do enough damage to kill you when you finish an armor item and easily hit with abilities after you just ult him when he gets on you.
Twisted Fate
Point-and-click cc is always a bad time for Lee Sin but due to his lack of mobility you should be able to pressure him early, take advantage and gank him after he uses red card to waveclear.
Blitzcrank
Your innate high mobility and speed after dead mans plate should be a huge problem for Blitzcrank. Not only are you hard to hit but if he does pull you, you have the ability to just ward hop right back out, or kick him into his teammates.
Gnar
His squishy early game and the general need for gnars to go in when they turn mega should lead to easy early game pressure. Use your q to gank after he uses his jump.
Master Yi
Yi is an interesting matchup for Lee Sin, seeing how Lee will never be able to 1v1 him late game, but early game you can stomp all over Yi's life.
Kennen
Kennen comes in with ult to fuck over your team? Kick that little fucking purple ball out of the fight immediatly
Lee Sin is a challenging and rewarding champion, that when played right can single-handedly take over a game by himself, bringing down any squishy champion with ease.

Where to Start when learning Lee Sin
Where to Start when learning Lee Sin
Start with learning his Q, it is the first thing you're going to want to master on Lee Sin. Go into bot games or normal games and hit some targets, learn it's range, speed, and damage. Next would be his W, learning how to quickly and efficiently ward hop and what walls you can effectively ward hop over is crucial in learning how to max out your mobility with Lee. Make sure to maximize your passiveand hit twice before using each ability when clearing jungle or even fighting another champion. The last thing I would focus on when playing Lee Sin would be his "Insec" play, start with using flash and throwing bots in different directions, then slowly evolve into using wards and getting smoother and better with his Insec, seeing how that's one of the most important things about Lee Sin.
