The Darius vs Lee Sin matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 9 recent matches analyzed, Lee Sin wins with a 55.6% win rate compared to Darius's 44.4%, giving Lee Sin a 11.1 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Lee Sin controls the early laning stage, but Darius outscales as the game goes longer.
