Sion vs Yasuo

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

This is a control vs skirmish matchup where Sion must manage wave control and avoid giving Yasuo free mobility and all-in windows.
Sion should focus on stable farming and health scaling to become a durable front line, denying Yasuo easy access to minion waves for mobility.
Prioritize teamfight impact and long engage paths over early lane dominance to counter Yasuo's mid-game skirmishing and roaming.

Trading pattern

Use (E) to slow Yasuo and threaten charged (Q) knockups from fog or brush to force favorable trades.
Avoid charging (Q) in obvious spots where Yasuo can easily dodge or counter with (W).
Trade when (W) is down to increase the chance your (Q) and (E) connect and punish his reduced defense.

Danger windows

Respect Yasuo's level 2 all-in window when he unlocks (Q)+(E) mobility combo; avoid extended trades then.
Be cautious when (W) is available as it blocks many projectiles, reducing your (Q) threat.
Avoid committing when your (W) shield is down or after a missed (Q), as Yasuo can punish your vulnerability and mobility lack.

Early game

Avoid extended trades before level 6 as Yasuo's level 2 (Q)+(E) combo grants him strong early all-in potential.
Use (E) slow to set up charged (Q) from brush or fog angles to punish Yasuo's positioning mistakes.
Maintain wave control to deny Yasuo minion targets for (E) mobility and reduce his ability to engage safely.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) with a clear path and team follow-up to force fights or return to lane with pressure.
After stacking health and completing tank items, absorb space and threaten charged (Q) zones to leverage your scaling durability.
Respect Yasuo's level 2 (Q)+(E) combo and level 6 (R) availability by avoiding fights without cooldowns or wave control advantage.

Win conditions

Use wave control and health scaling to become a durable front line and zone Yasuo from safe trades.
Land charged (Q) from fog or brush angles to punish Yasuo's mobility reliance and force cooldowns.
Execute long-range engages with (R) when Yasuo's key defensive cooldowns or (W) are down to start favorable teamfights.
