Taliyah vs Lee Sin

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Taliyah's efficient clear to reach river early and contest Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority.
Prioritize punishing Lee Sin's early invade attempts by controlling river chokepoints with (W) and (E).

Jungle Plan

Path camps to maintain worked ground and approach river chokepoints for better control and punishing Lee Sin's mobility.
Use (R) to create numbers advantages around dragon or Rift Herald, cutting off Lee Sin's escape or flank routes.
Track Lee Sin's first clear and be ready to counter-gank early river fights when your lanes can respond faster.

Danger windows

Lee Sin's level 3 invade window is highly dangerous; avoid river fights without lane priority or vision.
Isolated river skirmishes before your first reset are risky due to Lee Sin's strong dueling and mobility.
Objective setups without vision or lane control expose you to Lee Sin's displacement (R) and follow-up burst damage.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear that preserves worked ground for mobility and fast pathing to river.
Avoid isolated river fights before level 3 unless nearby lanes can move first to support.
Contest first Scuttle only when you have lane priority or vision advantage to mitigate Lee Sin's level 3 invade threat.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks your full (Q)-(W)-(E) combo to punish Lee Sin's dashes; hold (W) and (E) for predictable engages.
Your first completed mage item strengthens wave control and poke, enabling safer objective setups and roams.
Level 6 (R) dramatically increases your map presence and pick potential; use it to isolate targets or secure objectives before Lee Sin can contest.

Win conditions

Convert your early clear tempo into securing first Scuttle and controlling river vision to deny Lee Sin safe invades.
Use (R) roams to create numbers advantages around dragon and Rift Herald, forcing Lee Sin to react defensively.
Punish Lee Sin's cooldowns and mobility use by counter-jungling when lanes have priority, denying his scaling and map impact.
