Kayle vs Sion Matchup Summary

The Kayle vs Sion matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 83 recent matches analyzed, Sion wins with a 54.2% win rate compared to Kayle's 45.8%, giving Sion a 8.4 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Sion controls the early laning stage, but Kayle outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Sion needs to press advantages before Kayle reaches their power spikes, while Kayle should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Sion leads by 1.2s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Sion has a strong advantage in this matchup. Kayle players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Sion overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Sustain
826Kayle
2,866Sion

This massive durability gap means Sion can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Kayle is forced to recall.

Sion dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 62.9% win rate — a 25.7 percentage point lead over Kayle. This lopsided early game means Sion can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

In the late game (25+ minutes), Kayle takes over with a 52.1% win rate, leading Sion by 4.2 percentage points. Kayle scales more effectively into team fights and objective contests.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Sion must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Kayle reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Kayle survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
