Greater Mark of Armor Penetration 4x and 5x
Since does not longer gives armor penetration, we pick up 4x Greater Mark of Armor Penetration and 5x
It gives us 5.12 armor penetration + some from and we wont miss this 3.8 AD.
9x for better sustain in Jungle early.
or Greater Glyth of Cooldown Reduction
Here we can take 9x if the enemy Team has strong AP or we dont feel safe.
Otherwise we choose 6x Greater Glyth of Cooldown Reduction and 3x
Greater Glyth of Cooldown Reduction is realy great with Lee Sin. It allows us to cast our Skills more often.
Only our energy can stop us here. I hope we do not .

We pick 12/18/0 Masteries after patch 5.24 because it gives us all we need as Lee Sin.
Since the nurf of Cunning is now better then Ferocity for Lee Sin.
I think i dont need to explain why i chose which skill.
Ferocity gives us more early damage and some sustain, while Resolve has only deffensive stats.
So we go for

Situational:
We want to get as last item, if we get focused hard or we feel to squishy in teamfights. Doesnt matter if playing Tank or Ad Lee Sin.
We usually start always at Botlane side because of better poke.
Slain Golems/Gomp with early and decide yourself:
for early top gank:
Gomp start: take down wolves then slain blue with and rush top. Kill crab after gank.
Golem start: we go to wraiths and kill the little one first - start fighting them with w aa aa w aa aa, next slain red with . Go straight to Top lane. Kill crab after gank.
When should we gank Top early ?
We should always try to take down the enemy Top laner as first, if there is a strong early Champion like which we support/take down or the Match is unbalanced.
otherwise
we take wolves/wraiths, blue/red then crab and gank bot or mid.If we use this jungle route we just need 1 hp pot in early and we can stay longer in Jungle.
Remember to take down river crab everytime you are near, except you can gank a lane or take blue/red.
How do we gank a lane ?
If we gank a lane, we will try to get close enough to our mate minion or ward.
Only engage with if we are sure that we can hit it.
When should we gank a lane ?
We should only gank a lane if we know that our gank is successfull.
Otherwise its lost time and we will fall behind.
Remember: Time = Money = Exp.
Our gank was successfull when we took a kill/assist or the enemy laner has to recall.
After ganking we help our laner to push the lane or take down tower.
Sometimes it make no sence to gank a lane if one of our mates is feeding or losing hard. Then we try to help the other lanes.
In mid game when top/bot lane is pushed by enemy or your team is pushing, we always try to take down Wolves with to spend vision in Jungle.

Here is an example where we could place our vison wards.
Place the vision wards without black frame in enemy Jungle.
We need to be sure that we can defend our ward before we place it, otherwise its wasted money.
Before we take down Baron or Dragon, we place a vision ward and take down crab.

Our Job as Lee Sin in Teamfights is to
As AD Lee Sin we want to stay behind and take down the enemys who are low HP
or come from an other side to surprise them with an insec kick, while picking out a carry
(example: ward w q r q)
As Tank Lee Sin its easier to pick out an enemy carry because we can easily disengage after .
Remember to wardjump or flash before an enemy to determine the direction.
Sometimes we have to protect our carries (example: if we play against a Team with strong tanks or much CC) then we should keep to kick them away.
- take down enemy carries
- protect your carries

Lee Sin is great in stealing Baron or Dragon.
All we need to do is to stay behind the wall of Dragon / Baron and calculate our damage, land , go in with , take it down with and escape easily with .
By calculating your damage we have to check damage which depends on our level plus + and wait for the perfect moment to engage.
Be sure that there are no enemy wards in our near, if we are waiting to engage.
Clear with or .
Another way is to facecheck them and come from front of Baron / Dragon.
But keep in mind that this is a realy risky way and we could die realy fast.
