Nocturne vs Sion Matchup Summary

The Nocturne vs Sion matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 11 recent matches analyzed, Nocturne wins with a 63.6% win rate compared to Sion's 36.4%, giving Nocturne a 27.3 percentage point advantage. Nocturne 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.

1.2Sion
Nocturne brings significantly more crowd control than Sion, with 4.7 more seconds of CC per minute.
