These two top lane titans clash constantly, making matchup mastery a decisive factor in your climb.

Win through macro: Yone takes the matchup (51.08%) despite falling behind in CS (6.78 vs 7.11/min). Your victories come through roaming, team fighting, and map pressure rather than 1v1 lane dominance. Complete superiority: Yone dominates both win rate (51.1%) and damage output (875 vs 789/min, 2nd among Top). The 86 damage/min difference creates massive snowball potential. Intriguing anomaly: Yone wins the matchup (51.1%) despite a lower KDA (1.50 vs 1.80). This suggests you win through macro influence and clutch plays in key moments rather than consistent individual performance.
While statistically Yone is slightly stronger than Sion in the top lane, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. 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, Yone 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 16th (versus 23rd for Yone) 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 1.5) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Yone player to maintain constant pressure on Sion, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
