Who Wins

  • You lose most early trades pre-6 due to Sion's superior damage and sustain from W shield and passive healing.
  • Post-6 you still struggle in pure 1v1s as Sion's R engage combined with Q knockup and W shield often outdamages your kit.

How to Trade

  • Your best trades involve pulling your Q through Sion, landing W to block his Q damage, then using E to disengage before he can fully combo you.
  • Extended trades favor Sion due to his sustain, so keep exchanges short and look for Q empowered auto poke.

Wave Control

  • Focus on slow pushing waves to build minion advantages for trades, then crash and roam with R to impact other lanes.
  • Avoid hard shoving early as Sion can freeze effectively and zone you from CS with his superior all-in potential.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste W reactively against Sion's Q as good players will cancel it and re-cast when your W expires.
  • Save W for blocking his empowered autos or other damage sources, and avoid using E aggressively without jungle help as his Q followup can be lethal.
