the Blind Monk
Patch 26.20 · Stats from the 26.18 Master+ sample (11,549 games).
Lee Sin, the Blind Monk, follows a landed Sonic Wave with Resonating Strike, and Dragon's Rage kicks a target back into anyone behind it. Conqueror was on almost all counted Master+ Lee Sins, and the build players reached for first was Eclipse, Black Cleaver, Death's Dance on Mercury's Treads. Zyra, Ivern and Briar beat him most often. He won more often against Shyvana. Viego was about even with him.

Avoid extended fights — its sustain grows with every trade it survives
Deny the reset — it wants a kill to come back out; a warded exit removes it
Punish the cooldown — Lee Sin is exposed while its rotation is down
Ward the flank — vision is what turns its best opening into a worse one
Respect the spike — Riot rates the kit 6/10, so a practised player gets more out of it than the average

Base Stats
Q1 - Sonic Wave
Q2 - Resonating Strike
The recent changes taking away some of Lee Sin's kit restrictions have been cool for Lee players, but he's clearly just too powerful now. With more outplay potential, we are nerfing his raw damage to balance him out.
WSafeguard
ETempest
RDragon’s Rage
Over time, Lee Sin has watched as other champs surpass him in both flair and mobility. We are looking to give him more opportunities to use the tools that allow him to fly around the map while making sure his high moments truly feel like such at all moments in the game.
WIron Will
Right now Lee Sin's W2 is the only ability in the game that grants both Life Steal and Spell Vamp. We're looking to combine those into Omnivamp along with a couple other systemic changes to maintain similar gameplay with clearer wording.
Base Stats
QSonic Wave/Resonating Strike
Lee Sin is a very performant jungler at almost all levels of play but is suspiciously absent from pro. Our goal with this patch is a series of power-neutral adjustments that should give him a sharp early game strategic niche without significantly changing his win rate.
Base Stats
Lee Sin's been doing pretty well for himself after the last set of buffs, and while we're pretty happy with his pattern overall, he's performing a little better than we'd like so we're taking his AD down just a tad.
ETempest / Cripple
Lee Sin hasn’t been seen much in the jungle this season, so we want to give him a bit more power to move him into the pool of viable champions for pro play in MSI. We’re choosing to lean into his Tempest here, as it should help players feel like they’re able to get access to a more reliable slow more consistently which is particularly helpful in the highest levels of play.
Riot's data lists 20 looks for Lee Sin with their own art, the base skin included and 61 chroma variants.
