Jungle champions have their staples, and among the picks favored in the jungle lane for years, almost without a true rival, is Lee Sin — a longtime favorite jungler among players. LoL Lee Sin has barely changed for years. So really, changes made elsewhere in the game have only slightly buffed or weakened him. Lee Sin is a champion you play in the jungle lane. While we occasionally see him show up in mid lane, the jungle is truly where he belongs. So what rune setup should we give him in the jungle? Or what build should he run? Let's get into our article answering these kinds of questions. Here's the Lee Sin guide!

We'll be sharing the highest win-rate runes with you, based on stats drawn from professional players and high-elo players who won games using these runes.
For Lee Sin, we recommend "Conqueror" from the Precision tree as the primary rune. The runes underneath it can be listed as follows:

- Last Stand
For Lee Sin, we recommend the Inspiration tree as the secondary rune group. The runes we recommend from this group are:

What Should Lee Sin's Build Be in LoL?
What is a build? We need to answer this question first. The word "build" actually comes from English. With the logic of constructing something, we're building Lee Sin's items in a sense. So we want to see, in order of priority, how our building takes shape until its final form. We want to proceed in order of priority. So when players ask what a build is, we can explain it by breaking it into 3 parts. We'll explain these 3 phases — early game, mid-game, and late-game — by giving you the items for each.
What Are Lee Sin's Starting Items?
As we mentioned at the start of our article on the Lee Sin champion, you really need to play him in the jungle. If you're playing in a different lane, the items we're about to give you won't add anything extra for you. If you're playing in the jungle lane, this article is exactly for you. As a starting item, Lee Sin can pick up the jungle item Emberknife. Alongside this item, you can start the game with a Refillable Potion and a Stealth Ward. If your lane goes smoothly, you should finish building Jaurim's Fist. You should finish Jaurim's Fist within the first 5, maybe 7-8 minutes.
What Are Lee Sin's Mid-Game Items?
In the mid-game phase, you need to pick up Bloodthirster, which is almost Lee Sin's core item. This item will make him improve incredibly. The boots you should get alongside this item are Plated Steelcaps. This item will make you fairly tanky. Even if you can't be a tank, if you take damage from physical attackers, this item will greatly reduce that damage. Stealing life from your opponent is everyone's dream. If that's your dream too, we have a great item to recommend. Death's Dance is quite effective for stealing life from your opponent. If you want to steal life, we definitely recommend this item.
