Damage doesn't equal wins: Sion outputs more damage (664 vs 602/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output.

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, Sion deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Shen has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.
An important advantage of Sion is higher farming statistics (ranked 5th among role champions) (versus 46th for Shen), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.8 versus 1.8) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Sion player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Shen 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.
