Sion·Jungle Counters

Sion is weak early, but once he has a few levels under his belt, he can be a proactive ganker.

Deep vision will help counter Sion’s ganks. Ward his jungle, when you can, to help your allies stay alive.

His objective control isn’t very good in the very early game, try and secure objectives like the Dragon before he can gank the bot lane and take the Dragon with them.

Sion can surprise targets that are walking around Summoners Rift alone by waiting in a bush and using his Q to take them down. Avoid walking in areas where you know Sion has been so its harder for you to get caught out by him.

Kite and disengage is Sion’s biggest threat in a team fight. Try to keep him away from your team so he is unable to get a good Q knockup.

Avoid grouping and fighting in the jungle as it will allow Sion to either get a really good knockup with his Q or get a really good Ultimate R off. Group together, but do not stand on top of one another so he is unable to get a multi-person knockup.

The longer the game goes, the stronger Sion will become. Depending on his build path, he will peak at different items.

Sion is strong at level 6 as he can quickly gank lanes from out of vision. Deeper vision will be needed to reduce his effectiveness.

At level 9, Sion would’ve maxed his Q. His all-in potential and strength when ganking will be very high.
