Lee Sin vs Talon

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Lee Sin is a high-mobility early skirmisher who must leverage level 3 invade and river control to pressure Talon's weaker early jungle presence.
Prioritize early tempo and creative gank angles to snowball before Talon completes lethality and scales into stronger roam and burst windows.

Jungle Plan

Path to invade Talon's jungle at level 3 when lanes can assist or move first to force early river skirmishes.
Contest Scuttle Crab aggressively when your lanes have priority to deny Talon's roaming and objective setups.
Use successful ganks to reset tempo and secure early dragons or Rift Herald setups before Talon can fully scale.

Danger windows

Talon's early level 2 combo and post-level 6 (R) stealth burst create high-risk windows for isolated river fights.
Avoid fighting when low on health after clears or forced smite contests without lane priority.
Be cautious of Talon's roaming potential enabled by (E) terrain mobility, especially if your lanes lack vision or priority.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear that enables a level 3 invade or counter-invade when nearby lanes have priority.
Fight for first Scuttle only if your lanes can move first to secure river control and deny Talon's mobility advantage.
Avoid low-value early fights if Talon is nearby and your lanes lack priority to prevent losing tempo and camps.

Power spikes

At level 3, use full kit access to invade or force river fights, pressuring Talon before his lethality item.
At level 6, leverage (R) to isolate targets or disrupt Talon's objective access and pick potential.
Respect Talon's level 2 (Q)+(W) combo and level 6 (R) stealth burst windows to avoid unfavorable trades or ganks.

Win conditions

Convert early invade pressure and river control into securing dragons and Rift Herald before Talon can contest.
Use (Q) and (W) mobility to create unpredictable gank angles, snowball lanes, and deny Talon free farm.
Maintain vision and track Talon's pathing to counter-gank effectively and prevent his roams from gaining momentum.
