Introduction/Contents

Quoted:

As a young teen, Lee Sin was intent on becoming a summoner. His will and dedication were unmatched by any of his peers, and his skill drew the attention of Reginald Ashram, the League's High Councilor at the time. While studying at the Arcanum Majoris, Lee Sin became frustrated with instruction paced for the other students. He spent his free time researching the nuances of summoning in hopes of graduating sooner. He made amazing advances in his arcane studies, surpassing all other students. By all indications, he would have become one of the League's greatest summoners were it not for one terrible mistake. Too impatient, he attempted to test his ability by summoning a beast from the Plague Jungles. What he summoned instead was a young boy, but not in one piece. He barely had time to look the boy in what was once his face before the jumbled human mass fell lifeless to the floor. A League investigation later revealed that the boy's entire village was obliterated by feedback from the ritual.

Lee Sin's talents were so promising that the League was willing to overlook the incident, but he could never forgive himself. He left the Institute and journeyed to the Shojin Monastery for eternal repentance, swearing never to practice magic again. Years later, hoping to atone for his crime with martyrdom, he set himself ablaze as a protest of the Noxian occupation of Ionia. He remained alive in this state, enduring searing agony for weeks. His actions paved the way for a League match wherein Ionia prevailed, but by the time he was doused, his eyes had been burned completely from their sockets. Hailed as a savior, he was reborn, and his will to act invigorated. He joined the League of Legends to continue his atonement with sweat and blood, a true monk's only possessions.

''The actions of one may sunder the world, but the efforts of many may rebuild it.'' - Lee Sin

Hello, Withdrew123 with another hopefully-good guide. This time on Lee Sin as a Jungler. Lee Sin is a great jungler, with quite alot of burst damage and a shield that gives lifesteal. He has great assassin abilities, too, with the ability to dash in and out of combat. He is one of the best junglers in my opinion.

Runes and Why

The Greater Mark of Desolation will help you with jungling, by of course giving you more damage from the armor penetration.

The are for early game armor, so you can have the survivability for the jungle creeps. You don't want the # at 18 runes since you really won't need armor to survive jungle creeps, and you probably won't even be jungling anymore in late game.

The are for flat Magic Resistance, they make you tankier and (of course) more resistant to casters.

The Greater Quintessence of Desolation are for, of course, early game creep damage.

For the Secondary Jungle, I get these runes:

The runes are for flat attack damage for early game.

The are for survivability in the jungle early game.

In team fights you might be initiating if you don't have a dedicated tank. To initiate you want to to the closest champion, and the whole other team. If there's another teammate being focused down, to the ally and save his life.

If you're not initiating, then wait just about half a second, find the squishy-damage-dealing carry, to the carry and beat his/her *** down. Either that or even him into the enemy team and knock them all up.

You can also in and an enemy into the other team for a beatdown. (Or beatup?)
