Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.
Except for rare builds, Illaoi deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Sion has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.
Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Sion, ranking 5th (versus 28th for Illaoi) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (1.8 versus 1.4) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Illaoi player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Sion player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.
