Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to Sion's superior range, poke, and wave control with Q-E combo.
- Post-6 you gain kill pressure if Sion mispositions, but he still controls the lane through better wave management and disengage tools.
How to Trade
- Use Q to dodge Sion's Q charge, then commit to extended trades with auto attacks and E true damage.
- Wait for Sion to waste abilities on minions before engaging, as your sustained damage output is higher in prolonged fights.
Wave Control
- Focus on last-hitting and maintaining minion waves in favorable positions near your tower.
- Look for opportunities when Sion pushes too far forward or uses abilities on minions to create all-in windows.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q on minions when Sion has abilities available, as you'll be vulnerable to his Q-E combo without your dodge tool.
- Avoid short trades where Sion can poke with E and disengage with W shield, as you need extended fights to utilize your damage advantage.
