Two words for 'Early Trinity Force Build' - Quodra kill ! Really nice build ;)

oh nono, I'm not saying to MAX your Q first, I'm saying just to get a point in it before 4 for earlier ganks.

Thanks for you suggestions and thanks for recommending it. I could get triforce sooner but I feel that when I do, it really cuts down on my tankyness as it is very expensive, but I will certainly look into it.

I personally don't feel that I should level Sonic Wave / Resonating Strike as most of the damage comes from the 10% missing health bonus which does not increase. Besides, not to sound arrogant, I rarely miss my Q so I don't need a lower CD on it. However, I will add something about it in my guide.

Drawn here by the recommendations of fellow veterans, I was intrigued about the guide.

I'm a little disappointed.

Clearly the guide portion is lengthy and you spent a lot of time on it, but there are several fundamental flaws to the guide itself that just pop out.

One is the use of Ghost. Lee Sin has two blinks, which is fine - but that isn't a substitute for the best initiating and escape spell in the game. Flash remains almost essential on Lee Sin and almost every jungler out there. Flash and your ultimate is deadly, Flash to secure kills or to jump over a wall, or even to flash in range of a ward to escape is brilliant and I would honestly never take a second glance at Ghost. Personal preference only goes so far.

Regarding the runes, I'd like to see some more optimization. Lee Sin is a very mobile character so I'm not seeing the point of the movespeed quints. He's got 2.0 AD scalings on his Q and his ultimate and his E is very good with AD as well, meaning that AD runes substantially increase your early jungle speed. Oftentimes people run 7 ArP reds, 2 AD reds, and 3 AD quints for jungle speed optimization. I recommend you try it.

Another problem I have is with both your skilling orders. Maxing Safeguard first offers no offensive prowess whatsoever. Your argument is that Safeguard lets you towerdive more safely, but you won't be able to secure as many kills without that early game power. Your Q is possibly one of the strongest early game abilities in the game and it's what makes Lee Sin so formidable at jungling, 1v1ing, counterjungling, and ganking. Neglecting it is neglecting the core aspect of his kit.

The item builds are a little nonsensical. You spend too much time building components, failing to realize the limited inventory space that you have. In general the components take up too much space and you simply won't be able to buy the wards that a jungler needs to have map control. The first build is far too taxing on your early game gold bank and gets Warmog's far too late to be effective - Atmog's being a key part of your combo means that you need to get it ASAP, not delay it by well over 4000 gold.

Not a huge fan of the masteries either since Lee Sin's huge defensive power and sustain in the jungle purely from Safeguard means that he never needs to invest in defensive masteries whatsoever. 21/0/9 is the most common set, sacrificing 15% buff duration in favor of vastly improved damage.

Overall the guide is a much more defensive version of Lee Sin than I'm used to. I'll chalk it up to a sense of taste at the moment, which is why I'm not downvoting, but I see a lot of wasted potential on one of the most offensively powerful early/mid game junglers in the league.
