Sion vs Malphite Matchup Summary

Based on 133 recent matches analyzed, Sion wins with a 57.1% win rate compared to Malphite's 42.9%, giving Sion a 14.3 percentage point advantage. Sion dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Malphite players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential.
