Introduction

Hi! My name is Venom and welcome to my very first guide! Please feel free to give any feedback/suggestions and I will be sure to check them out! Lee Sin is one of my favorite champions to play so I decided to try to make a guide for him. I hope you enjoy and maybe even learn a thing or 2! :D

Pros / Cons

Pros: Can assassinate squishy targets without building much damage, very good early game damage, decent teamfight utility late-game, easy to stick to targets in a chase, hard to chase/highly mobile.

Cons: Not the tankiest of offtanks, vulnerable to CC, not a lot of early jungle sustain, ganks rely on skill shots to hit, not a reliable execute to combo with Smite. (Example Elise can combo spider Q, Kha'Zix can combo Q, etc.)

Creeping / Jungling

Use your E to lower jungle creeps' attack speed and take less damage. Open your ganks with Q if possible wait until opponent burns flash/uses their dash before you cast Q for a second time. (Only cast Q the second time if you will still end up in a good spot, no need to accidentally tower dive.) Once you are in range use all the CC you got (E, Randuin's Omen, etc.) to secure the kill. Since Lee is very good at chasing, try to just get your opponent out of lane for the first few ganks and proceed with attacking the tower. If your opponent is at river without a tower, killing him/her should be a piece of cake!

Runes

Not sure how to view the notes for the Runes. In case you cant I'll put them here.
Hybrid Penetration Marks over Attack Damage Marks because I THINK it will yield more damage. (Someone can do a test/do the math if they want.)
Percent Health Seals over Armor seal because Riot nerfed Armor Seals and buffed base armor on all champs for a reason: To make the Seals "meta" more versitile.
CD Reduction Glyphs over Magic Resist Glyphs because Lee heavily relies on his abilities for damage, mobility, etc.
Life Steal Quints for sustain. (Duh.)

A little side note/rant.

People tend to use their ult as an execute, do not do this. I repeat, DO NOT DO THIS. Whoever you are attempting to execute will most likely survive and you will end up kicking them away and saving their lives. If you feel the need to ult you can slow them with E/ward hop/flash ahead of them and ult them INTO your team and not AWAY from them.

Also I will add more champion matchups at time goes.
