Sion vs Gangplank Matchup Summary

The Sion vs Gangplank matchup is a moderate matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 46 recent matches analyzed, Sion wins with a 52.2% win rate compared to Gangplank's 47.8%, giving Sion a 4.3 percentage point advantage. Sion dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Gangplank players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Sion leads by 1,999 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Sion has a statistical edge, but the margin is close enough that respecting Gangplank's strengths is important. Trade when cooldowns are favorable, track the enemy jungler, and build toward your strongest item spikes to convert the slight advantage into a decisive lead. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Damage
867Sion
1,161Gangplank
Gangplank heavily out-damages Sion by 294 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 Gangplank's sustained damage advantage take over.

Utility
1.4Sion
0.5Gangplank
Sion brings significantly more crowd control than Gangplank, with 0.9 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Sion far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
2,938Sion
939Gangplank
Sion vastly out-sustains Gangplank, healing and mitigating 1,999 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Sion can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Gangplank is forced to recall.
