## How to play against Lee Sin

Lane and teamfight rules that hold regardless of your pick.

### In lane and in teamfights

- Crash early waves when weak side before his level 3 route reaches you. A bouncing wave removes the long lane he needs for Q follow-up.

- Respect the second Q timing in extended fights. Disengage after the first miss or force him to take it into your team.

- Keep carries away from ward-hop angles around river. Make him spend Q or W to enter before your team commits.

- Avoid long skirmishes after his first cooldown cycle returns. Reset spacing instead of assuming one missed Q ends the threat.

- Protect the backline from flank kicks before starting Baron or Elder. Control side brushes and deny ward access behind your carries.

## Where Lee Sin is weak

Exploit these in draft and in lane.

- Lee Sin's strongest value is early tempo, so stalled games reduce him to risky engage and peel angles.

- Lee Sin often has to enter with his target, making failed access turn into immediate overcommitment.
