Lee Sin vs Ekko

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Lee Sin's early game pressure and mobility allow him to force early river fights and invade before Ekko can safely scale.
Prioritize disrupting Ekko's farming tempo and contesting river control to deny his mid-game spike and scaling potential.

Jungle Plan

Path for early level 3 invades or counter-invades when lanes can move first to deny Ekko's scaling and force fights.
Contest first Scuttle only if your lanes have priority and Ekko is likely to full clear; otherwise, focus on counter-jungling his weak early clear.
Use creative ward-hop gank angles post-level 3 to pressure lanes and force Ekko to play safe, enabling tempo resets on camps.

Danger windows

Be cautious of Ekko's early river move around his level 3-6 window when he can set up (W) stuns and (E) mobility.
Avoid isolated river fights if (R) is up, as he can survive and turn fights with his ultimate.
Low-health clears or forced smite fights without vision control increase risk; ensure lane priority or teammate presence before contesting.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear into a level 3 invade or Scuttle fight, leveraging Lee Sin's strong level 3 dueling power.
Prioritize early river Scuttle control when nearby lanes have priority to secure vision and deny Ekko's access.
Avoid extended fights if low on health after first clear; reset tempo with a gank or camp clear to maintain pressure.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks Lee Sin's full kit for strong river duels; use this timing to force fights and invade camps.
Level 6 (R) empowers Lee Sin to isolate targets and disrupt Ekko's objective attempts; look for picks around dragon or Herald.
Respect Ekko's level 6 (R) as a reset and escape tool; avoid committing fully when his ultimate is available.

Win conditions

Convert early invade and river control into objective setups by forcing Ekko off camps and securing first dragons or Herald.
Use Lee Sin's mobility and (R) displacement to create picks or deny Ekko's objective access, snowballing lead through tempo resets.
Maintain pressure before Ekko hits key AP item spikes to deny his scaling and force fights on your terms.
