Champion Portrait of Aatrox
Aatrox
Very Hard
37145%-418-488A challenging matchup where Aatrox out-sustains, out-damages, and out-ranges you. The safest way to play this lane is to keep the wave under your tower. If the lane extends, he can run you down. Consider maxing W first or putting a few points into it before Q. This helps you survive his Qs and get some damage from your shield since a reliable Q on him is difficult. Once you complete your mythic item and Bramble Vest, you will have a small window where you can beat him. In teamfights, your ultimate is for engaging the backline, not fighting Aatrox. Avoid extended fights with him unless you know you can win.
Champion Portrait of Gwen
Gwen
Very Hard
33847%-142-1,237One of Sion's hardest matchups. Early on, you must farm safely and look to trade back with E to slow her, followed by Q. She can chase you down indefinitely with R. She is impossible to 1v1 with her ultimate available. Use fast Qs if she's good at dodging charged Qs with her W. In teamfights, she can avoid your ultimate and Q with her W. You need to be near your damage dealers and land a Q on her before she can react. Your job is to CC her for your team to burst her down before she can heal. When splitting, play safe and look to group with your team as soon as possible.

Champion Portrait of Malphite
Malphite
Easy
32958%+907+2,165Rush an early Null-Magic Mantle component combined with initial HP stacking to neutralize the poke damage from his Seismic Shard (Q), ensuring your Soul Furnace (W) shield completely negates his harass, allowing you to dominate melee trades. This lane is generally easy, especially for Tank Sion, as the early Magic Resist coupled with the Tank main rune shards allows you to withstand his poke, particularly if he runs Arcane Comet. This positional advantage means you should "completely annihilate Malphite in trades". The only major threat is his R (Unstoppable Force) at Level 6, which he can use to cancel your charged Q, so watch out for that specific initiation.
Champion Portrait of Garen
Garen
Very Hard
28447%+46-974A difficult matchup if you don't play safe. You will eventually just become too much for him to kill. Keep your space and don't let him Q onto you. Use your E AFTER he uses his Q to keep a safe distance. In the mid-to-late game, if Garen got a lead, he will be a nightmare. If you stay even, you are ahead. You can out-farm him and have a much larger impact in teamfights. If you want to kill Garen in lane, you need to be aggressive early. If he isn't trying to solo kill you, you will outscale him.
Champion Portrait of Yone
Yone
Very Hard
27748%-153-813Highly recommend building Tank and immediately rushing Bramble Vest and Warden's Mail to heavily mitigate Yone's early healing and Lethal Tempo stacking, as this quickly turns the matchup into a favorable farming lane where he struggles to secure kills against you. Yone excels at scaling and sustained fights, leveraging items like Immortal Shieldbow. By prioritizing healing reduction and armor components early, you make it exceedingly difficult for him to sustain or all-in you.
Champion Portrait of Fiora
Fiora
Very Hard
27242%-147-1,347A very difficult matchup. You can charge Qs in the direction of your vital. Be cautious of her W, as it can block your Q and stun you. It's most important to play around her W. The best way to deal with it is to fully charge a Q, watch her parry too early, and then hit her with the full Q. In the mid-to-late game, she is a strong side-lane duelist. If you're going tank, she will have a hard time, but she can still ignore you and hit your tower. If she ults you, run back to your tower or hug a wall to prevent the healing.
