Zed vs Lee Sin

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Prioritize early jungle tempo and avoid prolonged fights before level 3 to mitigate Lee Sin's strong invade threat.
Control river vision and contest Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority to prevent Lee Sin's early skirmishes.

Jungle Plan

Contest river Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority using your level 3 combo to challenge Lee Sin's early pressure.
Invade Lee Sin's jungle camps when he is spotted on the opposite side or after a failed gank to deny his tempo.
Use successful ganks to reset tempo and secure early dragon or Rift Herald control before Lee Sin can contest.

Danger windows

Respect Lee Sin's level 3 invade timing when he has health and lane priority to avoid losing early jungle control.
Avoid isolated river fights before securing vision, as (Q) and (R) displacement can isolate and burst you down.
Be cautious during low-health clears or forced smite fights where Lee Sin can capitalize on your vulnerability with his mobility.

Early game

Execute a fast clear route to reach level 3 quickly and unlock your full (W)+(E)+(Q) combo for safer counter-invades.
Avoid early river fights unless you have lane priority or a health advantage, as Lee Sin excels at level 3 invades.
Secure first Scuttle only if nearby lanes can move first to reduce risk of counterplay.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks your full (W)+(E)+(Q) combo, enabling strong counter-invades and skirmishes; use it to punish Lee Sin's early aggression.
Level 6 grants your ultimate (R), increasing kill threat on isolated targets and allowing safer roams or objective plays.
First lethality item completion boosts your burst, letting you pressure lanes and invade more confidently against Lee Sin's lower scaling.

Win conditions

Convert early jungle tempo into objective control by contesting dragon and Rift Herald when Lee Sin is off the map or low on resources.
Use your burst and mobility to secure kills on overextended laners, snowballing your lead and denying Lee Sin farm.
Maintain vision control around river and enemy jungle entrances to enable safe counter-jungling and prevent Lee Sin's early picks.
