Tempo-and-angle skirmisher build: Lee Sin wins when he arrives half a beat earlier than the enemy to the right zone, then cashes that lead out through pick, duel, or a misaligning kick. The build must therefore serve mobility, initial impact, and enough durability for his plays not to need to be perfect.
Three builds, one right answer per draft. The advisor reads the five enemies (and your allies) and names who triggers what — the same rule as the Draft MVP sheet and Ask Nexus.
