Hey everyone!
Since I'm going on a longer trip (6 months) my guide won't get updated for this period of time. The preperations for this as well as some other private stuff already made me get pretty inactive in LoL (and in updating this guide frequently) but I'm looking forward to get back into game as soon as possible (pretty hyped already :D).
I hope you understand.
Greetings and best wishes

I'm not one of the best Lee Sin players out there, but this guide sure helped me with playing him.
Cheers!

Hey,
I understand the situation you are in. But as Bekas already said there is just on solution do your problem: practice. But there are ways to practice way more efficient. First use the new practice tool they added. There couldnt be any better chance of trying to get faster and more on point with your skills and combinations when having no cooldowns. Use it and just play until your moves feel like you don't have to concentrate anymore on not messing them up. You want to be able to focus on the rest of the game and not getting tunnel vision on using your skills properly. Next tip is get a friend by your side and try it in a custom 1v1. A bot doesn't move like a real player, so this might be the way to go if aren't confident jumping into ranked.
I hope you can improve and I wish you good luck!
Greetings Matz

Just keep practicing, there are also some videos on Youtube on how to land your Q's more often, but practice makes you improve a lot

If only this could be a bit more detailed... I'm still playing Lee since season 3-4. I think, yet still a classical blind style Lee player, why no one ever guiding people when it comes to Lee? In detailed mentions of course. Its hard to find your roleplay in team, tank or assassin or what? Getting locked by a sup Morgana and dead? What to do then and many things like this, if only there was a Lee in-depth guide :S

Hey,
I understand your concern and it's true that my guide isn't as detailed as some people might want it to be. There are some reasons why:
First I can talk atleast for myself, that I use Mobafire and similar websites to get a short overview about a champ, what to build, skill up and stuff like this. Additionally some not as known tips to have the chance of being a little bit better then the average and thats it. I don't think it's possible getting a perfect Lee Sin player by reading a guide. That takes a lot of practice, game knowlegde and maybe some talent (atleast for Lee).
Secondly you gotta think about who I am writing for. (http://www.leagueofgraphs.com/de/rankings/rank-distribution)
In Europe West 70% of all players are in Bronze (31,33%) or Silver (38,92%). Another 20% are in Gold. That makes 90% of all players being below Platinum and I want to make a guide understandable and playable for them and not Diamond or Challenger Players, simply because there are less and they usually don't have to read guides on Mobafire.
Next thing is that League of Legends is a very individual game. Every match you play is different from every match you played before. Finding a "roleplay" or whatever in your team is just hard to give a default for this (also every players playstyle differs).
Last but not least it's I'm not having the time for an in-depth guide you might be looking for. I mentioned in my guide that I accept every friend request and answer every comment, so if some people (or you) might have some more specific questions I can try to answer them fitting the issues they are having.
I hope you understand!

Oh, I see, thanks for the reply, your points seems pretty true. Sorry for making such a narrow-minded comment, however still feeling alone when it comes to auto-fill jungler, trying to learn advanced gameplay of Lee, imho he requires at least a good basic understanding of Lee, to reach a good win-rate also seems like requiring advanced techniques, which always ending in getting-killed-killing win or lose, its just complicated to understand what you can do more than in teamfights, shall I tank or aggro damage then leave range with W or Q'n kill someone, or maybe build support lol sorry for causing a headache, in more specific question, may I ask if building at early games like after jungler item, to block a mid Syndra's ulti for your team at early games or etc, or I could ask general building more than actual gameplay, since as you mentioned that he requires a base experience to 'start'' to make good things.

Thanks for the reply <3 :D

Hey, everything is fine :D (btw sorry for the late answer, I was on vacation for 2 weeks and on a festival another week afterwards)
I understand your problems and would recommend you to pick another jungler when being autofilled, usually you are most successful with a tanky cc machine like Zac, Sejuani, Maokai, Amumu and so on. If you still wanna play Lee it's really hard up to impossible to give general answers to your questions. Don't get me wrong your questions are good questions, but a personal trainer or a really good playing friend of yours might just be a better partner, playing some games with you and giving tips. The main reason for that is that as I already said every game is pretty individual with having about 130 different champions, so when having a hypercarry like Kog Maw in your team do everything to protect him, while you can play a more agressive playstyle when having an ezreal adc. Furthermore it's depending on your enemies and blabla. I could write 500 pages about different matchups and possibilities they offer you as Lee and still wouldn't have covered everything. To your support question I can just refer with my early statement that you shouldn't pick Lee if you just wanna be supportive. There are junglers doing that way better while being way easier to play. Against Syndra I would recommend a Hexdrinker.
Ofc you can still as every question u want to, but then you have to be fine with sometimes maybe not that satisfying answers ^^

Legit, made a mobafire account just to say thanks for the guide, have always struggled with lee sin and keeping energy and everything and now I am carrying teams, 10/4/10 in the last one! Much appreciated, wish all guides were so thorough.

Thanks alot buddy :) Im really glad that I managed to help you.
Good luck on the fields of justice ;)

Awesome Guide. In about 3 games I went from no idea how to play Lee to carrying my team. Thanks!

Nice! So I hope you can keep on carrying ;)

Great guide bro, helped me a lot, u deserve that +1.

Ty buddy!
I am always happy when I can help someone ;)

I have 5cdr 15 dmg 4 mr and 8 armor at my runes about lee I don't think attack speed is good cause his passive helps about it and I think it's better I saw it from griped but he has 4 rune pages for him but I don't know which is the best

Hey,
your current setup sounds like the one I used earlier either. Also I had the same arguments for more AD and no AS, but seeing many good players using AS I tried it and found it way stronger than a pure AD setup. I checked probuilds and didn't find a single rune setup without AS (often with even 17% AS), here are the builds I found:
Sarkis
Punch
Meteos
I will dominate
Mowgli
That doesn't mean that just playing with Damage Runes is bad, but I (and probably most of the pro players, too) like some attack speed.
Now about the cdr. My "Possible Full Build" provides already 40% cdr and this is simply the reason I don't take cdr in my runes, but knowing you should finish the game usually before reaching the 40% mark in items or anyway building something else you should go for some cdr in your runes. Again this is just a default way to play , but for sure not the only viable option.
I hope this helped a little bit.
Greetings Matz
