I never really managed to grasp that part about him. Every champ (in my eyes) has something they are really good at and they try to set themselves up for it (Katarina R, Nasus stacks,). But I cant find that for lee sin. Everything lee sin does is weirdly average. His damage isn't anything that great, his ult is nice utility but nothing too special. W and E are nice but still it's just eh. I can't really find the scenario where lee sin feels really strong. Besides 1v1 and peeling does lee sin have anything?

not impressive i know

i lose more lp than i gain. there isnt the losers queue, just those who are not ready for ranked whether it is a mental block or lack of understanding. i know a fair bit. ive been told by a challenger player that i have near perfect macro but the problem i have is that my early game is weak due to wasting time and inconsistent gameplay styles meaning not one game i take it in with the same mindset as the last. if youre low elo like me and you feel you are mechanically adept and it not being ego then consider taking your climb serious. remember youre your biggest deadweight. we've all won games with an afk or feeder out of spite, channel that.

So when you insec someone and you want to use Q2 to follow should the combo be Q1 ward jump R Q2. Or Ward jump R Q1 Q2? Does it make a difference?

yeah title

As the title says. I know for art Lee but he has not uploaded in quite a while. Looking for suggestions of people who play Lee top and either stream or YT.

I know normal ward hops used to be super bad but now its fixed (for the most part). But after spending quite a while in the practice tool, ward buffering (ward + flash + W) feels super hard to pull off unless you delay the W hop, unlike the normal ward hop which is instant.

For me, the buffering works maybe 50% of the time. Is it just my mechanics or does anybody else have this problem?

I've been a Lee OTP for around 8 years, I've been Diamond 4+ consistently while playing (Had a few breaks over the years). Before I start the biggest recommendations I have is;

1. Quick cast WITHOUT range indicators
2. Rebind slot 7 to T, for any item actives, if you like tiamat or for easier ward hops with control wards.
   Lee Sin Combos;

Close Range Insec & Escape:
Q1 > Ward > W > R > Q2 is when the enemy is in close range insec , because of Lee's Q "low health bonusdeals higher damage

Regular Insec/Kick:
Q1 > Q2 > Ward > W > R

Ghost Kick:
Q1 > Ward > Q2 > R (You want to Q2 BEFORE touching the ward, ally etc. This allows you to cast R during your Q2 mid flight)

Flash Ladder Kick (These are when I'd use T wards):
Place Ward (out of placement range) > Flash (into placement range) > W (onto the spot where ward will be placed) > R

Can be used as Mid range insec & escape:
Q1 > Ward > Flash > W > R > Q2

Longest Range flash Kick:
Q1 (wrong target or minion) > Q2 > Ward (Out of range) > Flash (Into Ward placement range) > W (Where ward will be placed) > R

Flash Kick:
Q1 > Q2 > R> Flash behind enemy

Flash Kick from wrong target:
Q1 > Q2 > Ward > W > R > Flash

Just fighting combos (You can get 3-4 AA's before Q1 times out):
Q1 > AA > E > AA > AA > R OR R Flash OR Ward > W > Q2

Q1 > Q2 > AA > AA > E > AA > R > Q1 > Q2

Lee is very versatile and using the correct combos can be crucial, I'd recommend practice tool to master these.

For the lee sin top enjoyers, ever since the ravenous hydra nerfs, I haven't been able to enjoy lee sin in the top lane as much. I have tried the eclipse -> sundered sky build but it feels like I lack wave clear. Profane hydra feels weak against bruisers and tanks, and ravenous healing is much weaker.

Was curious if anyone knows what the best build is when playing vs bruisers and playing vs tanks
