Sion dominates the meta (7th most popular, 5.4% pick rate) and regularly clashes with Volibear (3.2% pick rate). Understanding this common matchup forms the foundation of consistent gameplay for one of top lane's current powerhouses. Surprising upset: Despite Sion's higher tier rating, Volibear wins 52.1% of encounters. This suggests Volibear's kit specifically counters Sion's playstyle, overriding general meta strength - approach this matchup with extra caution. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Summon Aery + Manaflow Band combination (75.5% win rate) plus optimal itemization Heartsteel, Hollow Radiance, Thornmail, and Mercury's Treads boosts your chances from 47.9% to 78.8% - potentially game-changing.
Farm your way back: Sion's superior farming (7.11 vs 5.89/min, 16th among Top) offers a comeback path. Focus on safe CSing and capitalize on your 1.22 CS/min natural advantage. Damage doesn't equal wins: Sion outputs more damage (789 vs 765/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Strong individual performance: Sion maintains better KDA (1.80, 36th place vs 52nd for Volibear), but loses the matchup overall. High KDA without wins suggests difficulty translating individual advantages into victory conditions.

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. Volibear 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 16th among role champions) (versus 52nd for Volibear), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (1.6 versus 1.8) suggests they are less effective 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 Volibear 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.
