Extreme Threats

Ideal Synergies

Nautilus

Extreme

Armor tank with Low cooldown peeling kit, hard to break through unlike other supports.

Morgana

Extreme

Simply pressing W with morgana will prevent you from being able to use your utility and kicking a target back into your team. Damage will still apply.

Maokai

Extreme

Take him down in early if you want to win mid-game.
Late game, there is noting you can do vs this heavy tank.
The best thing you can do in lategame is kick High health champions back onto their own teammates since it will result in increased kick damage.

Skarner

Extreme

Skarner is a hard counter of lee, you don't want to mess with him nor fight him at any time of the game.
only if you're ahead of him you can counterjungle him and keep him less strong than you are, force him to farm to get back in the game so you can gank other lanes.

Olaf

Extreme

Nothing to do against olaf, only wardjumping over a wall (which he cant follow up without flash) will counter olaf. wait for his ult to run out or kick him before he can use his ult in a fight.
Keeping him out of the fight is the only thing to do in late game, don't let him soak up the damage for his team.

Hecarim

Extreme

Early easy to counter, if you can out damage him. for the rest of the game its yet again keeping him out and off of your team.
nothing else lee sin can do to prevent Hecarim but kicking him out.

Vi

Extreme

fairly easy to counter early like every other jungle since lee sin has high damage with his Q.
Mid/late game if vi builds tanky theres again nothing lee can do to outdamage her.
Wait for vi to ult your carry's in teamfights and kick them right back after they ulted.
also try to position yourself in a way that you can kick a high health vi onto their squishy carry's so they take increased damage.

Garen

Extreme

Garen is really hard to counter since he's an armor tank.
if the enemy team has a Garen, try to focus their carry's and killing them so your own carry's can start helping taking garen down at the end of a fight.

Akali

Tiny

Akali is easy to counter, ganking her is really easy, pre & after level 6.
You should get your midlaner to snowball on Akali quite easy.
this will result in a free win since akali will be very weak mid & late game.
she won't reach full build any time soon if you can get your midlaner strong enough to 1v1 her.

Teemo

Tiny

Squishy early, take advantage by killing him early which grants free gold and maybe a free win if your team knows how to snowball.

Shaco

Tiny

Very easy to counter all game, if behind it could be a pain in the *** to beat him.
you might not wanna fight him when fed, try to keep an eye out on him though so you can counter gank him.

Lux

Tiny

wait until Lux uses her Q before engaging.
She will be forced to flash away.
gank A.S.A.P again on the lane, lux wont have flash and you can pick up a free kill.

Janna

Major

Disengage support's like Janna are Lee sin's worst nightmare.
if you try to kill these or jump past them to their carry's it will require some quick hands to ward-jump mid-air of your Q. or just wardhopping past their ability's. you will have to practice this, also for the sake of learning the "in-sec".

Lulu

Major

Unlike janna, where you can jump past her Q ability, Lulu has a Silence/Polymorph ability where you can't do anything about. since this has a long cooldown, wait for your team to fight and let the support take the polymorph.
at that moment you jump in so you can use your kit to get to the carry and kick them through the rest of the enemy team.

LeBlanc

Tiny

Leblanc is really squishy, once she uses her W she won't have any escapes.
she'll be forced to flash every time you gank if you wait for her to use her W to poke/farm.

Karthus

Tiny

Free breakfast

Sion

Extreme

Sion being built with alot of armor is hard to kill for a lee.
gank him alot early and take him down with your laner.
if you do not succeed in doing this early, he will be a big problem in late game.

Malphite

Extreme

Heavy armor tank as Malphite needs to be taken down early.
if you cant take him out early he can be a problem late-game.
try not to group and keep him off your ADC since his E (ground slam) has a really high attackspeed slow and will most likely break your ADC's DPS. (DPS = Damage per second)
