Master Yi vs Sion Matchup Summary

The Master Yi vs Sion matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 17 recent matches analyzed, Master Yi wins with a 64.7% win rate compared to Sion's 35.3%, giving Master Yi a 29.4 percentage point advantage. Master Yi dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Sion players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. 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. Master Yi players can confidently pick into Sion and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Sion away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Damage
1,033Master Yi
906Sion
Master Yi heavily out-damages Sion by 127 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Sion should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Master Yi's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
15,694Master Yi
15,060Sion
Master Yi earns 634 more gold per game than Sion, equivalent to roughly one additional component item. This economic edge comes from a combination of better farming, kill participation, and objective control, giving Master Yi slightly faster item completions.
Utility
0.1Master Yi
1.3Sion
Sion brings significantly more crowd control than Master Yi, with 1.2 more seconds of CC per minute.

Sustain
1,279Master Yi
