Cleanse crowd control and add Magic Resistance to outlast fights
When the enemy team brings a lot of crowd control and magic damage
Mercurial Scimitar's active removes all crowd control from you and makes you immune to crowd control for 0.25s. It cannot be used while airborne or knocked back, and has a 60s cooldown. Death's Dance stores part of the physical and magic damage you take, and you take it as true damage over 3 seconds instead. If a champion you damaged within the last 3 seconds dies, the remaining stored damage is cleansed and you heal for 90% of your bonus Attack Damage. Build 1 totals +40 Magic Resistance and +12% Lifesteal, and build 2 has neither.
Shred shields and keep Guardian Angel as insurance
When the enemy team has little crowd control and someone who uses shields
Serpent's Fang reduces any shields an enemy champion gains for 3 seconds after you damage them. Armor Penetration totals +35% and +15, more than the +35% of build 1. Upon taking lethal damage, Guardian Angel puts you in stasis for 4 seconds and then revives you with 50% of your base HP (180s cooldown). Immortal Treads add 5% bonus damage while you are above 50% HP. Unlike build 1, this build has no Magic Resistance and no item that removes crowd control.

Prioritize the skill central to your mobility and burst damage first, then level the one that provides a shield and sustain.
Your early game is among the strongest in the game. Invade the enemy jungle and show up in lanes often to take control of the match's tempo.
Control vision around objectives and disrupt the enemy with your Skill 1 and Skill 2 mobility. When the enemy carry slips up, land the Insec (kicking them with your Ult) to create a numbers advantage.
Your damage inevitably drops late. Shift to a role that enables your team, using your Ult either to kick the enemy carry away from the fight or to peel for your ADC.
Dive in with Skill 1, then get behind the enemy carry with Flash or Skill 2. From there, kick them into your team with your Ult for the play that decides the teamfight.
Skill 1 is Lee Sin's lifeline and main source of damage. If you miss it and still force in with Skill 2, you lack the damage and get killed in return. After a miss, wait out the cooldown and look for the next opening.
Close the gap with Skill 2, land Skill 1 for damage, then slow with Skill 3.
Dash to them with Skill 1, get behind with Skill 2, then kick them back toward your team with Ult.

A three-step guide set by the official champion library. For difficulty, a higher number means harder to play.
Critical damage is 200% for every champion. These figures exclude items and runes.
Our take
Lee Sin gets more out of every dash-in. The shield is 20 larger at every rank and Iron Will's omnivamp climbs at each rank as well, so he heals back a bigger share of what he takes while trading. Clearing camps becomes faster and safer, and he can be the one to commit first in an early skirmish and still come out even or ahead.
Our take
Lee Sin's damage moves out of item-dependent burst and into his base values and his ultimate. Gable loses most of its flat damage and now scales off total AD rather than bonus AD, so stacking lethality to delete a backliner in one pass no longer works the way it did. In exchange, Sonic Wave/Resonating Strike and Dragon's Rage go up at every rank, which strengthens early ganks before items come online and the max-HP damage he brings against tanks. The build that fits him now is the bruiser who keeps swinging, not the assassin who opens and leaves.
