Scuttle Contest

At level 3, you lose the scuttle fight against Lee Sin unless you land your Q backstab perfectly and he misplays — his Q into E combo deals more burst than your boxes can handle in an open river fight, and his W sustain keeps him healthy enough to outlast your damage.
From level 6, you can win a 1v1 only by pre-placing boxes in a bush, baiting him into them, and using Q to reposition behind him for the backstab amplification, as a straight fight without box setup will almost always result in your death.

Lee Sin most commonly starts Red Buff side, clears Red into Raptors or Krugs, then takes Wolves and Blue before looking for an early gank or scuttle around 3:15–3:30; he may also do a full clear to level 4 before contesting.
Expect him to prioritize early river presence and invade your jungle if he spots a weak side, as his kit is designed for aggressive early pathing.

You should invade Lee Sin, but only at his second buff after he has already cleared it — around 3:00–3:20 on the opposite side of the map from where he started, as he will be lower HP and between camps.
Place a box at the entrance of his jungle before walking in so that if he turns on you, the fear buys you time to Q out; do not invade his first buff because he will be at full health and his level 2 damage is lethal.

Do not attempt to fight Lee Sin in an open area without pre-placed boxes — his E slow, Q gap-close, and W shield make him far more durable and mobile than you in a straight skirmish.
Avoid using Q aggressively to engage rather than to escape, as burning your Q offensively leaves you with no reliable exit when he responds with his own gap-close chain.
