Lee Sin's Jungle win rate is 2.6 percentage points below an even 50% — Should I Dodge's win-probability model varies by about 4.8 percentage points of standard deviation from lobby to lobby across all ranks, purely from which champions get drawn, so this gap is smaller than that noise, not solid evidence the champion is unusually strong or weak right now.
Lee Sin is tracked in exactly one role at this tier scope, Jungle — so there's no ambiguity below about which lane the rest of this page's per-tier, threat, and counters reporting describes.

Our Read on Lee Sin
Reading the Numbers
Lee Sin is a jungler whose game is decided by how often his first skillshot lands. Sonic Wave marks the enemy it hits, and the follow-up, Resonating Strike, dashes him onto that mark, so a single clean hit gives him damage, reveal and a gap closer in one motion. A miss costs him the tempo he was counting on. He needs a lot of practice to use well, and he is a diver, so the data here includes everyone from experienced mains to casual players picking him because the kit looks flashy. Read his figures as a measure of execution more than strength.
When a Teammate Locks Lee Sin
Expect an active early game once Lee Sin is locked in, since your jungler plans to be hunting for ganks with the Q-then-dash combination and not just farming. Safeguard lets him dash to an allied champion and shield them both, so he can leap to help a teammate who is in trouble. His ultimate, Dragon's Rage, roots a target and kicks them backward, and any enemy the target collides with takes damage and is knocked up, so ask him to look for a kick that sends one enemy into the rest of their team. Early lane pressure helps him snowball.
When the Enemy Has Lee Sin
Stand behind a minion when you suspect Sonic Wave is coming, because it is a line skillshot that stops on the first enemy it meets, and a missed Q takes much of the threat out of his next move. Being marked also reveals you for a short while, so do not count on hiding in a bush afterward. The ultimate roots you during its short cast and then sends you flying, with the direction set at the moment of impact. Keep valuable allies from standing behind a likely kick target, since collisions damage and launch them as well.
