Lee Sin
GameplayLee Sin is a champion in League of Legends.[1]
Abilities
- Notes
- This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the start of the cast time.
- Notes
- Lee Sin will track the target if they change locations.
- He will dash to the target's previous location without consuming the mark if the target is too far away or moves beyond 2000 units.
- Lee Sin will attempt to place himself on top of the target upon arrival.
- The damage dealt by Resonating Strike can be negated if the target blinks. Sometimes, Lee Sin will end the dash at their last location but appear on top of the target after a short delay.
- Originally, Lee Sin would land 50 units in front of his target. Since there are no patch notes where this is noted to have changed, landing on top of his target may be a bug.
- The damage dealt by Resonating Strike can be negated if the target
- Resonating Strike cannot be cast without the marked target nearby or if the target is untargetable.
- If Resonating Strike interrupts another dash, Tempest and Dragon's Rage can be cast during it (both otherwise cannot be cast).

- Notes
- Lee Sin cannot self-cast Safeguard even while grounded or rooted.
- Safeguard can be used on any targetable allied unit excluding structures.
- This includes champions, minions, wards, and champion summoned units (e.g. Noxious Trap, Demacian Standard, Dark Passage).
- This includes
- If no unit is directly targeted, Safeguard will search for wards in a 100 radius to target.
- This aids Lee Sin in performing the dash to a ward he just placed.
- Safeguard will not grant its shield if the dash is interrupted.
- If the dash overrides or is overridden by Resonating Strike, he will grant the shield immediately rather than on arrival.
- If the dash overrides or is overridden by
- If Safeguard's dash interrupts another dash, Tempest and Dragon's Rage can be cast during it (both otherwise cannot be cast).
- Notes
- No additional details.
- Notes
- Tempest's sight reveal only reveals the affected targets, but visually also lights up the Fog of War in a 400 radius.
- Tempest's sight reveal is not removed when Lee Sin casts Cripple (unlike Sonic Wave's).
- This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.
- Notes
- Tempest's reveal is not removed when Lee Sin casts Cripple.
- Cripple cannot be cast without a marked target within 550 range.
- The missiles Lee Sin sends out are nowadays missing their visual effects.(bug)
- Applies spell damage to the primary target and area damage to secondary targets.
- The spell indicator for this ability also displays the direction for the knock back relative to Lee Sin's position.
- If the target of Dragon Rage dies initially on the first hit there will be no displacement of any kind.
- The displacement's direction is decided at the moment of impact and not by Lee Sin and his target's relative locations at the start of the cast (the only way for Lee Sin to control where his target is displaced is by using Flash before the cast time of Dragon's Rage ends).
- If the airborne debuff is removed from the target, its ability to collide with enemies is removed aswell, even if the target has not come to a stop yet.(bug)
- The airborne debuff and with it collision of the target remains for the normal duration even if its trajectory is displaced by another source (i.e - Headbutt).
- The target may still collide with other enemies for the remaining airborne duration after they reach their destination, as the airborne debuff lasts longer than the displacement.
- The airborne debuff and with it collision of the target remains for the normal duration even if its trajectory is
- The knockback distance is intended to be 800, but due to a bug, this is reduced by up-to the sum of Lee Sin's and his target's gameplay radius, depending on how far they are away from one another at the end of the cast time.
- If the target becomes untargetable, dies, or is too far away or no longer in sight during the cast time, this ability will cancel but does not go on cooldown nor pay its cost (if applicable).
