The jungle race — the windows in Lee Sin's plan

Read from Lee Sin's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Morgana.

StageReadWhy
Level 1 ClearLee Sin DominantFlurry-weaving between Q casts gives a level-1 trade few champions match. There is no version of this Morgana wins right now — the W camp-melt is elite tempo, and that folds at the first buff. Show on their side of the river and take a camp and a chunk of their health bar.
Level 2 SkirmishLee Sin DominantThe second skill point doubles your trade pattern — Q-W or Q-E both chunk hard. Later in the game this bites, because a three-second Dark Binding root in a jungle corridor is a death sentence. But with one camp still up on both sides none of it is online, so take the level-2 skirmish and tax every camp Morgana concedes.
Level 3 RouteLee Sin DominantThe full E-slow, Q-execute, W-shield kit is at its proportionally strongest point, while Black Shield protects a teammate's gank. Only one of those wins at the opening scuttle, so press it: take the level-3 river fight, then leave with the first scuttle and the gank window behind it.
Levels 4-5 MacroLee Sin Dominant — Keep FightingLevels 4-5 change nothing: you still win every straight duel vs Morgana, and her 4-5 is a Dark Binding gank window beside her laners, with Black Shield making the counter-gank fail. Sit in their river, take both scuttles, and tax the camps they concede.
Level 6 BreakpointDragon's Rage FavouredThe Dragon's Rage kick into a Q re-cast adds real burst to an already complete kit. Soul Shackles plus Black Shield makes 2v2s near their laners unwinnable for them, so the margin is real but narrow: fight when your ultimate is up and Soul Shackles is the one on cooldown.
First Item SpikeEclipse / Profane Hydra SpikeCompleting your core item triggers a massive physical damage and shielding multiplier that completely overpowers traditional brawlers or assassin targets. Morgana's first item makes the binding-into-zone rotation a real chunk instead of a set-up for somebody else.
2+ Items ScalingRespect Morgana Late — End EarlyMorgana out-stats you from two items on — stop taking straight 1v1s, close through objectives and picks, and keep the game on a clock.

How to beat Morgana as Lee Sin: the first clear and pathing

Start your clear at the Red Buff camp to maximize early health retention via W lifesteal loops before executing a fast 3-camp clear straight into an aggressive lane gank or invade path. Morgana clears very fast with Tormented Shadow and stays healthy off her passive, so her early tempo is better than it looks.
