Lee Sin vs Ivern

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Lee Sin must leverage his very high early game pressure and mobility to force river fights before Ivern completes full clears and scales.
Prioritize early invade and counter-invade paths to punish Ivern's slower, utility-focused jungle and deny his camp access.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize invading Ivern's jungle when lanes have priority to deny his buff pickups and camps.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes can move first and you have vision control to avoid Daisy or root setups.
Use successful ganks or invades to reset tempo and prevent Ivern from safely sharing buffs or setting up objectives.

Danger windows

Be cautious around Ivern's first river move and early invade timing when he can root or knockup with Daisy.
Avoid isolated river fights without vision or lane priority, as Ivern's utility and team follow-up can punish solo engages.
Watch for low-health clears where forced smite fights could turn against you if Ivern's team collapses.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear that enables level 3 invade or scuttle contest before Ivern can react.
Use (Q) to secure early river skirmishes and punish Ivern if he overextends or face-checks.
Avoid fighting if nearby lanes lack priority to support counter-ganks or invade attempts.

Power spikes

At level 3, Lee Sin gains full kit access allowing strong dueling and invade potential; path toward Ivern when lanes can assist.
Level 6 unlocks (R) displacement, enabling pick setups and objective denial; use it to isolate Ivern or his carries.
Respect Ivern's (Q) root and (R) Daisy knockup as they can disrupt your engages and counter-ganks.

Win conditions

Convert early invade and river control into denying Ivern camps and forcing him behind on levels and tempo.
Use (Q) and (W) mobility to create unpredictable gank angles and snowball lanes before Ivern's utility scales.
Leverage (R) displacement to secure objectives and isolate key targets, preventing Ivern from setting up his teamfight utility.
