Yone vs Sion

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize using (E) + (Q) combo to force trades with a planned exit, denying Sion safe scaling opportunities.
Accept a low early lane pressure and focus on snowballing through extended trades and side pressure rather than early dominance.
This matchup is a snowball versus scale contest; Yone must disrupt Sion's health stacking and wave control to prevent him from becoming a front line.

Trading pattern

Stack (Q) to reach knockup threat, then use (E) and second (Q) to gap close and snap back, minimizing Sion's chance to retaliate.
Punish Sion when his (W) shield is down or after he misses (Q) charge by committing to short trades.
Avoid trading when (E) is on cooldown or used from a bad position, as Yone becomes vulnerable to Sion's slow and knockup.

Danger windows

Respect Sion's charged (Q) knockup from fog or brush angles; avoid predictable positioning near minions or terrain.
Be cautious when (R) is available with a clear path for engage; maintain vision and side-step angles.
Vulnerable after using (E) as enemy knows your return location; avoid overextending during this cooldown.

Early game

Play around level 3 power spike by unlocking (Q)-(W)-(E) trade pattern to pressure Sion when cooldowns and minions align.
Avoid extended trades before level 3 as Yone's early agency is low and Sion can punish mistakes with his shield and knockup.
Use (E) + (Q) to engage trades with a quick exit to avoid Sion's slow and charged (Q) punishments.

Power spikes

Exploit Yone's level 3 unlock of (Q)-(W)-(E) combo to force trades with shield and knockup.
Pressure after first attack-speed item back to improve trade reliability and wave control.
Respect Sion's level 6 (R) engage; maintain spacing and avoid being caught in long-range knockups.

Win conditions

Use (E) + (Q) combo to force trades and deny Sion safe farming and health stacking.
Pressure waves confidently after first attack-speed item to create side-lane pressure and force Sion into awkward engages.
Avoid Sion's engage windows by spacing properly and punish missed (Q) or shield downtime to snowball lane dominance.
