Sion vs Ornn

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Prioritize stable wave control and health scaling to survive Ornn's poke and crowd control threats.
Avoid giving Ornn free passive scaling by contesting farm and setting up fog or brush angles for charged (Q).
This is a control vs teamfight scaling matchup where Sion must manage medium lane pressure and focus on front-line engage potential.

Trading pattern

Use (E) slow to set up charged (Q) from fog or brush, punishing Ornn when his (W) shield is down.
Avoid trading when (Q) is on cooldown or interrupted, as your threat significantly drops.
Respect Ornn's terrain setups for (E) knockup; only engage when he has no escape or crowd control ready.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Ornn has terrain nearby enabling his (E) knockup and (W) brittle for strong follow-up.
Avoid overextending after missing (Q) or when (W) shield is down to prevent lethal trades.
Respect (R) long-range engage threat especially if your team cannot follow quickly.

Early game

Use early waveclear to maintain a controlled lane and avoid extended trades before (R) unlocks.
Avoid charging (Q) in obvious spots where Ornn can punish with (E) knockup or (W) brittle.
Stack (W) shield safely to build health and tankiness before committing to all-ins.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) with clear pathing and team follow-up to force fights or return pressure to lane.
After first tank item, absorb space and threaten charged (Q) zones to leverage your health scaling.
Respect Ornn's level 6 (R) engage and first tank item spike by maintaining spacing and avoiding terrain traps.

Win conditions

Control waves to deny Ornn safe scaling and create fog/brush angles for impactful charged (Q) engages.
Scale health through (W) and tank items to become a durable front line that can initiate with (R).
Use long engage paths with (R) to start or disrupt teamfights, maximizing your front-to-back teamfight impact.
