Stable ratings are a good sign for one-tricks: the play patterns you practice now should keep working next patch. At B tier, Leesin works best as a counter pick or comfort pick rather than a blind pick.

The hardest matchups this patch are Naafiri (46.6% win rate for Leesin) and Nocturne (47.3% win rate for Leesin): consider banning one or holding your pick until the opponent locks in. On the other side, Viego (51.4%) and JarvanIV (49.9%) are the least punishing matchups for Leesin this patch.

How to play Leesin Jungle

  • Pick Lee Sin jungle when early skirmishes matter and the enemy jungler is scaling: invade and force fights before level 6.
  • Power spike at level 3 with Q connect plus Tempest: gank lanes with CC after you land Sonic Wave for guaranteed follow-up.
  • Common mistake: forcing Q2 into a full team. Safeguard to a carry or ward hop out if the kick will not isolate a target.

Leesin Jungle guide

Lee Sin jungle runs a hit-and-dash combo: Sonic Wave (Q) finds a target so Resonating Strike (Q) can dash in and hit harder the lower that target's health is, Tempest (E) reveals the fight and Cripple (E) slows the escape, and Dragon's Rage (R) kicks the target back into a knock-up on anyone they collide with.

The build

Rune page: Conqueror, Triumph, Legend: Alacrity, and Coup de Grace (Precision), with Magical Footwear and Cosmic Insight (Inspiration). Summoners: Flash and Smite. Skill order opens Tempest / Cripple (E) at level 1, then maxes Sonic Wave / Resonating Strike (Q) first with Safeguard / Iron Will (W) second. Starter: Scorchclaw Pup and a Health Potion, into Plated Steelcaps. Core build: Eclipse, Sundered Sky, Death's Dance, with Black Cleaver, Guardian Angel, and Maw of Malmortius as later options.

Ability mechanics

Sonic Wave / Resonating Strike (Q) is a skillshot that must hit before the dash becomes available; the follow-up deals more damage based on the target's missing Health. Tempest / Cripple (E) reveals enemies it hits and lets Lee Sin recast to slow nearby damaged enemies, with the Move Speed reduction fading over the duration. Dragon's Rage (R) launches the target back, damaging it and any enemies it collides with while knocking those collided enemies into the air. Flurry (passive) speeds up his next two basic attacks and returns Energy after casting any ability.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Naafiri, Nocturne, Wukong, Sylas, Vi. Best matchups: Viego, Jarvan IV, Graves.
