Introduction

Hey everyone! This is my guide to Lee Sin.
Before I "kick" off, I just want to say that this is my first guide and that I have no idea how to do masteries. Please give me some feedback.
I know that I'm not the best Lee Sin player but I'm not that bad if I do say so myself as I mained Lee Sin for a little while. Lee Sin can be played in many different roles but this is a guide for Bruiser DPS Top Lee Sin.
Lee Sin actually has 7 abilities. After the use of any ability other than you have access to another spell which provides an entirely different use.
Lee Sin is a tanky solo top jungler but this is a guide to solo top Lee Sin. Lee sin uses energy instead of mana and can quickly restore his energy. Lee Sin prospers in team fights as he can quickly change the flow of a team fight by separating threatening enemies from their team mates with his

Summoner Spells

Is a highly recommended item for lee sin as he can flash in front of a fleeing enemy and them backwards into his team mates for an easy assist or kill.

Is a great spell with Lee Sin as he has very good wave clearing and he can easily chase off opponents attack a tower with his abilities to constantly poke and reduce attack speed. Teleport is also good for getting back to your lane quickly.

Is a nice spell to have for catching up to opponents, fleeing from opponents, or getting that slight advantage you may need for laning as it reduces attack speed as well as movement speed. Exhaust combined with is a very powerful combo as it can drastically reduce both movement speed and attack speed which can almost always assure you a kill if executed correctly.

Abilities

Is Lee Sins passive. After using an ability, for the next two attacks you have 40% more attack speed and you gain 15 energy on hit. it is very effective for jungling but does not have much use for laning. It can be used however to restore lost energy if your energy is low.

Should be your first priority (other than ult) as it provides the most moveability and the most damage. It is also very effective in lane as it has a reasonably long range which is longer than the range of most ranged champions and can provide easy poking. After using this ability you gain use to which makes you dash to the enemy who has been hit by

Should be your second priority as it provides very good lifesteal and attack speed so it should be used to restore lost health in situations where you could use some. Safeguard can be used on Lee Sin or on an allied unit. When an allied unit is targeted with Lee Sin quickly dashes and shields them as well as himself. This is a great move for dodging skill shots as you can leap to friendly minions. After the use of you gain access to which increases your lifesteal and spellvamp temporarily.

Should be your last priority. Tempest hits and displays an icon over the heads of all enemies within a small area around himself and reveals them. After using you gain access to which slows the movement speed and attack speed of everyone who was hit by tempest. This consumes the icon.

Is Lee Sin's Ultimate. Like all ultimates, it should be levelled up at level 6, 11, and 16. Dragons rage significantly knocks back enemies for 1 second and deals damage. Any unfriendly champions that are hit by the champion kicked get knocked up for 1 second. is good for knocking enemies into your team mates and assuring a kill.

Strategies

Lee Sin has many strategies so brace yourself for some reading. Let's jump right in.
My favourite combo with Lee Sin is: but do not cast resonating strike yet followed by they should still be targeted by sonic wave if you do it fast enough so you should have dashed right to them. If you think you can kill them at this point then cast followed by and proceed to dominate, using whenever possible. if you think that you can't beat them use to dash to an allied unit and run away.

If you find yourself being chased, you can place a sight ward over a wall then to it. if they over the wall then back over it.

There is also a very advanced technique which is more effetive than warding over a wall however.
If you are near a neutral camp, hit it with your but do NOT cast . Put a ward over a wall then to the ward. In the middle of your cast dashing you to the neutral camp which you hit earlier with . This will leave them confused as hell for a second while you escape.
