Best picks against Lee Sin

These champions have the tools to beat Lee Sin.

  1. Rammus
    Rammus

    Rammus taunts Lee Sin into Defensive Ball Curl, so every auto attack Lee uses to stack his passive hurts him back.

  2. Warwick
    Warwick

    Warwick heals through Lee's early skirmishes, and his ultimate catches him even after a Safeguard escape.

  3. Udyr
    Udyr

    Udyr wins the first-clear duels Lee Sin relies on, and his stun lands on contact without a skillshot to dodge.

  4. Trundle
    Trundle

    Trundle's ultimate steals Lee's armor and magic resist in a duel, and Pillar of Ice blocks the ward-hop escape.

  5. Poppy
    Poppy

    Steadfast Presence stops Lee's Resonating Strike dash and Safeguard, which ruins both his engage and his escape.

Worst picks against Lee Sin

Lee Sin usually wins these matchups.

  1. Master Yi
    Master Yi

    Lee Sin invades Yi's camps early and kills him long before his item spikes arrive.

  2. Karthus
    Karthus

    Karthus clears slowly and has no dash, so Lee can take his camps and duel him at any buff.

  3. Fiddlesticks
    Fiddlesticks

    Fiddlesticks needs time and vision to set up, and Lee can catch him alone in the first minutes.

  4. Shyvana
    Shyvana

    Shyvana is weak before level six, and Lee's early invades stop her farming plan.

  5. Kindred
    Kindred

    Kindred needs to take marks across the map, and Lee punishes every one of those trips with a gank or invade.

How to counter Lee Sin

  1. Ward your jungle entrances early: Lee Sin plays for invades and level 3 ganks.

  2. Move sideways to dodge Sonic Wave; if it misses he has no follow-up to reach you.

  3. Do not stand in a line with an ally after level six, because Dragon's Rage kicks you into them.

  4. Drag the game into the mid game and group up; his damage drops off as other junglers reach full items.
