Statistical Matchup Analysis

Current meta showdown: Sion (5.4% pick rate, 7th most popular out of 63 Top champions) versus Yone (4.4%, 14th place). These two top lane titans clash constantly, making matchup mastery a decisive factor in your climb. Surprising upset: Despite Sion's higher tier rating, Yone wins 51.1% of encounters. This suggests Yone'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 Grasp of the Undying + Demolish combination (59.0% win rate) plus optimal itemization Sunfire Aegis, Thornmail, Unending Despair, and Plated Steelcaps boosts your chances from 48.9% to 76.9% - potentially game-changing.

Farm your way back: Sion's superior farming (7.11 vs 6.78/min, 16th among Top) offers a comeback path. Focus on safe CSing and capitalize on your 0.33 CS/min natural advantage. Outclassed across the board: Yone leads in both matchup win rate (51.1%) and damage (875 vs 789/min). Sion must seek alternative win conditions through macro play and team coordination. Strong individual performance: Sion maintains better KDA (1.80, 36th place vs 58th for Yone), but loses the matchup overall. High KDA without wins suggests difficulty translating individual advantages into victory conditions.

How to Beat Yone as Sion (Top)

Despite the slight difference in effectiveness, in the Sion versus Yone matchup in the top lane, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

Except for rare builds, Sion deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Yone deals mainly physical damage (71.89%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

An important advantage of Sion is higher farming statistics (ranked 16th among role champions) (versus 23rd for Yone), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (1.5 versus 1.8) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Sion Top versus Yone Top matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Sion player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Yone 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.

    Sion tips:

    • You only have very slight turning ability during Unstoppable Onslaught, so make sure to use it in straight paths.
    • Roar of the Slayer is a great setup ability to land a very powerful Decimating Smash.
    • The Soul Furnace buff displays how much shield strength is remaining, use this information to time its explosion perfectly.
