Nautilus vs Sion Matchup Summary

The Nautilus vs Sion matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 18 recent matches analyzed, Nautilus wins with a 61.1% win rate compared to Sion's 38.9%, giving Nautilus a 22.2 percentage point advantage. Nautilus 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 CS, where Sion leads by 1.5 CS/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Nautilus 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.

Farming
1.9Nautilus
3.5Sion
Sion significantly out-farms Nautilus by 1.5 CS per minute, accumulating an estimated 23 CS lead by mid game.

Damage
502Nautilus
756Sion
Sion heavily out-damages Nautilus by 253 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Nautilus should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Sion's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
9,498Nautilus
11,382Sion
Sion generates a commanding 1,884 more gold per game than Nautilus. This substantial economic advantage means Sion consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game.

Utility
2.7Nautilus
1.9Sion
Nautilus brings significantly more crowd control than Sion, with 0.9 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Nautilus far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
1,796Nautilus
2,174Sion
Sion vastly out-sustains Nautilus, healing and mitigating 378 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Sion can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Nautilus is forced to recall.
