Lee Sin is a very good pick into Shaco as your Q and E both reveal Shaco during stealth and Shaco can generally not out-damage nor out-pressure a Lee Sin. Lee Sin can be very in-your-face in a team fight, mitigating Shaco's pressure and usefulness.
Rengar
For a Rengar to be of use, he generally must build for pure damage and must jump into the team to assassinate carries. Lee Sin is able to kick Rengar away from the carries as well as reveal Rengar using Q or E.
Kha'Zix
For the same reasons listed under Rengar.
Fiddlesticks
Though Fiddlesticks offers damage to a team, he faces similar problems to Shaco when going against a Lee Sin. Lee Sin's early game can also make a Fiddlesticks nonexistant in terms of pressure.
Kindred
Through consistent nerfs, Kindred just can no longer keep up with Lee Sin at any point in the game. Kindred's mobility is inferior to Lee Sin, and Lee Sin's kick can cripple the efficacy of Kindred's ult.
Gragas
Gragas can be a good matchup into Lee Sin, because for Lee Sin to be useful, he must get close to his enemy. Gragas has good disengage and crowd control, making this very difficult for Lee Sin to accomplish.
Sejuani
For the same reasons as Gragas.
Rek'Sai
Rek'Sai is no longer to be grouped with Sejuani and Gragas, and can be considered a true threat to Lee Sin. Her early game and jungle invade potential makes her a problem for Lee Sin, and her ability to make plays on many parts of the map within short spans of time can be very challenging to deal with. Rek'Sai's diverse builds as well make it tricky for a Lee Sin to tackle
Zac
For the same reason as Gragas, with the exception that Zac is simply a stronger pick in the current meta.
Vi
Most of Vi's kit can be used to counter in some way (typically crowd control or damage) counter Lee Sin. Her ability to take early objectives makes it a challenge for Lee Sin to keep up. This is typically considered a skill matchup.
Hecarim
For the same reasons as Vi.
Elise
Elise is less of a threat to Lee Sin now in the current meta, but still can be difficult to engage on given her keen ability to engage and disengage.
Jarvan IV
For the same reasons as Elise.
Jax
Jax is almost as versatile as Lee Sin but with a bit more natural damage than natural tankiness, making it hard for a Lee Sin to deal with. Jax can stun, hop to or away from, and deal immense damage to any target, while typically lifestealing away any damage taken. Jax should be dealt with early while he is still vulnerable.
My name is RFT HiTeMPo and I've been maining the jungle and Lee Sin since season 3. Lee Sin is one of the most difficult and most rewarding champions to play in the jungle, so it is very worth your time to learn more about him, whether it be to master the Blind Monk or to beat him in game.
