Lee Sin vs Taliyah

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Lee Sin is a high-mobility early skirmisher who must leverage level 3 invade and river control to pressure Taliyah before she scales.
Use early river fights and creative gank angles to snowball and deny Taliyah's map pressure and objective control.

Jungle Plan

Invade Taliyah early around level 3 to punish her medium invade resistance and weaker early dueling.
Contest first Scuttle when your lanes have priority to deny her river control and limit her objective setups.
Use (Q) to initiate fights and (R) to isolate her or disrupt her access to dragon and Rift Herald, focusing on early tempo and scaling denial.

Danger windows

Respect Taliyah's early river moves and her ability to punish dashes with (W) and (E) in choke points.
Avoid isolated river fights if your health or cooldowns are low, especially before level 3.
Be cautious contesting objectives when Taliyah has lane priority and her (R) ready to cut off your access or create numbers advantages.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear that allows level 3 invade or counter-invade when nearby lanes have priority.
Prioritize early Scuttle fights only if your lanes can assist or move first to avoid being collapsed on.
Avoid extended full clears; mix camps with pressure to maintain tempo and contest river objectives before Taliyah's clear speed peaks.

Power spikes

Level 3 grants full kit access for strong dueling and invade potential; path toward enemy jungle when lanes can move first.
Level 6 unlocks (R) for displacement and pick potential; use it to isolate targets or deny her objective control.
Respect Taliyah's level 6 (R) for map plays and her first completed mage item which increases her poke and wave control.

Win conditions

Convert early invade pressure and river control into securing first dragons and Rift Herald to snowball lanes.
Use your mobility and (Q) to create picks or force Taliyah off objectives before she scales.
Track her jungle pathing and counter-gank effectively to maintain tempo and deny her mid-to-late game map pressure.
