Ekko vs Lee Sin

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Ekko should focus on efficient clears to hit level 6 and item spikes before contesting Lee Sin's early pressure.
Prioritize covering lanes with setup for (W) to enable strong ganks and objective control while avoiding risky river fights early.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize pathing that secures level 6 safely before contesting river or invading to leverage (R) as a safety and reset tool.
Contest Scuttle Crab only when lane priority supports it, then use (W) to zone and set up picks around objectives.
Track Lee Sin's first clear and gank attempts to counter-gank effectively and punish overextensions with burst combos.

Danger windows

Respect Lee Sin's level 3 invade timing and avoid isolated river fights before you have (R) or lane priority.
Be cautious around forced smite fights at early dragons or Heralds where Lee Sin can use (R) to disrupt your positioning.
Avoid low-health clears that leave you vulnerable to Lee Sin's high mobility and early burst damage.

Early game

Start with a full clear or five-camp path into a lane with gank setup to avoid early Lee Sin level 3 invade pressure.
Avoid fighting for the first Scuttle Crab unless nearby lanes have clear priority to reduce risk of Lee Sin's early skirmishes.
Use fogged (W) zones before dragon or Void Grubs to control river entrances and deny Lee Sin's early invade angles.

Power spikes

At level 3, use the unlocked (Q)-(W)-(E) combo to threaten quick burst trades and punish Lee Sin if he mispositions.
After level 6, leverage (R) to dodge Lee Sin's engage and reset fights, enabling safer all-ins or escapes.
Once first AP burst item is complete, increase pressure on camps and objectives to deny Lee Sin scaling and force fights on your terms.

Win conditions

Convert clean clears and level 6 power into aggressive counter-ganks and picks using (W) zones for control.
Deny Lee Sin free farm and force him off camps by invading when your lanes have priority and you can secure vision.
Use your scaling and burst to pressure side lanes and objectives after mid-game, leveraging (R) resets to survive skirmishes and snowball leads.
