Lee Sin, The Blind Monk, Released in 2011, is one of the oldest and most popular champions in League of Legends. Hailing from the region of Ionia, Lee Sin is a monk-warrior and a master of Ionia’s ancient arts.
In-game, Lee Sin is a mechanical champion requiring a high level of precision to pilot properly. If played perfectly, his abilities allow him to pick off enemies with his R – Dragon’s Rage or peel for the backline with his great defensive capabilities.
In terms of roles, Lee Sin is mainly a Jungler. His fast clear, and unmatched early-game power make him one of the best early-game Junglers in the game. He can also be played in Mid and Top lanes in certain matchups.

Best Lee Sin Skins
Now, we’ll rank each of the Lee Sin skins released in League of Legends thus far. We will rate them by putting them from worst to best.
14. Traditional Lee Sin
- Release Date: April 1st, 2011
- Price: 520 RP
- Chroma: 0
Before we dive deeper into the skin, let us look at the skin’s features first.
- New Model
Traditional Lee Sin is one of the two skins released along with Lee Sin himself. It’s just a basic model swap of the base Lee Sin skin with no additional effects and animations. So, if you are looking to buy a skin for Lee Sin, I would suggest you avoid this one.
13. Acolyte Lee Sin
- Release Date: April 1st, 2011
- Price: 720 RP
- Chroma: 0
Before we dive deeper into the skin, let us look at the skin’s features first.
- New Model
Acolyte Lee Sin suffers the same issues as Traditional Lee Sin. It’s just a basic model swap, but the model quality is slightly better than Traditional Lee Sin. But, definitely not worth the 720 RP price tag.
12. SKT T1 Lee Sin
- Release Date: May 4th, 2014
- Price: 720 RP
- Chroma: 0
Before we dive deeper into the skin, let us look at the skin’s features first.
- New Model
SKT T1 Lee Sin was created to honor SKT T1 Bengi’s winning performance in the 2013 World Championship.
Other than the fact it’s a commemorative skin, the skin does not have much going for it. It has no extra effects, animations, or voice-over; it’s just a regular model swap. So, you are probably better off buying Lee Sin’s other better 720 RP skins.
11. Playmaker Lee Sin
- Release Date: June 14th, 2018
- Price: 975 RP
- Chroma: 8
Playmaker Lee Sin currently has nine chroma, and each chroma costs 290RP.

Playmaker Lee Sin reimagines Lee Sin as a Football player or Soccer player, depending on where you live. In the skin, he dawns a uniform, throws a ball with his Q – Sonic Wave, and kicks his enemies like he kicks the ball.
Overall, it’s a decent skin with some decent effects.
10. Nightbringer Lee Sin
- Release Date: December 12th, 2019
- Price: 1350 RP
- Chroma: 0
Before we dive deeper into the skin, let us look at the skin’s features first.

Nightbringer Lee Sin as a skin is a decent skin. It has some stunning effects and animations, but it feels lackluster compared to Lee Sins’ other great skins.

- Price: Special Pricing
- Chroma: 0
Before we dive deeper into the skin, let us look at the skin’s features first.

- Price: 1350 RP
- Chroma: 1
FPX Lee Sin has a single event-exclusive chroma.

- New Model
- New Animations
- New Recall Animation
- New VFX/SFX
When it comes to Esports-themed skins, most usually miss their mark, but that’s not the case for FPX Lee Sin. The FPX skin line tries to emulate the vibe of Power Rangers, and Lee Sin dressed up as a Power Ranger feels oddly satisfying.
7. Zenith Games Lee Sin

Zenith Games Lee Sin has eight chromas, and each chroma costs 290RP. The Ruby version of the Zenith Games Lee Sin chroma can be obtained by purchasing the Zenith Games Lee Sin chroma bundle.

In terms of thematic, it’s a pretty good skin. A blind monk participating in a fighting arena makes for a cool theme and a great plot for a Hollywood blockbuster. In terms of the skin itself, it has some good animations and effects. The only thing holding it back from ranking higher is the lack of chromas.
5. Dragon Fist Lee Sin
- Release Date: January 10th, 2012
- Price: 975 RP
- Chroma: 8
Dragon Fist Lee Sin has eight chromas, and each chroma costs 290RP. The Ruby version of the Dragon Fist Lee Sin chroma can be obtained by purchasing the Dragon Fist Lee Sin chroma bundle.

In terms of the model work or effects, the skin is not so special, but its animations are what sets this skin apart. The skin is a nod to the legendary actor and martial artist Bruce Lee’s role in “Enter The Dragon,” and its animations, especially the idle animation, portray that pretty well.
In addition, the skin has some really fantastic chromas. It’s a decent pickup if you are looking for a cheap Lee Sin skin.
4. Pool Party Lee Sin

Regarding effects and model work, Pool Party Lee Sin is pretty minimalistic. But when it comes to animations, this skin takes the cake. The skin has some really cool animations. Pool Party Lee Sin throws a coconut when he uses his Q – Sonic Wave; coconut trees also sprout in his recall animations.
Overall, it is a pretty cool skin, and it’s cheap too.
3. Muay Thai Lee Sin

- Price: 975 RP
- Chroma: 0
Before we dive deeper into the skin, let us look at the skin’s features first.
- New Model

Despite having no new animations or extra effects, Muay Thai Lee Sin still remains one of the most used Lee Sin skins. The reason for it is its simplicity; it has small changes, such as different walking animations and a new recall animation that makes the skin very appealing for those who like the base Lee Sin skin.
2. God Fist Lee Sin
- Release Date: April 5th, 2017
- Price: 1820 RP
- Chroma: 0
Before we dive deeper into the skin, let us look at the skin’s features first.

God Fist Lee Sin was the first Legendary skin released for Lee Sin. The skin portrays Lee Sin as a godlike fighter and a master martial artist. The effects and animations also convey the feeling as well. God Fist Lee Sin’s punches feel more impactful, kicks feel stronger, and it feels like you are actually playing a God when you are using this skin.

Choosing between God Fist Lee Sin and this skin was pretty hard, but ultimately, I had to go with Storm Dragon Lee Sin. Storm Dragon Lee Sin has effects animations and model quality very comparable to God Fist Lee Sin, but where the difference lies is the chromas. It has some really good chromas and even has a mythic chroma.
