Sion vs Maokai Matchup Summary

The Sion vs Maokai matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 6 recent matches analyzed, Maokai wins with a 83.3% win rate compared to Sion's 16.7%, giving Maokai a 66.7 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Sion controls the early laning stage, but Maokai outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Sion needs to press advantages before Maokai reaches their power spikes, while Maokai should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Maokai leads by 1.3s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Maokai has a strong advantage in this matchup. Sion players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Maokai overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Utility
1.4Sion
2.8Maokai
Maokai brings significantly more crowd control than Sion, with 1.3 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Maokai far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
2,434Sion

The early game (first 15 minutes) is a toss-up between Sion and Maokai, with Sion holding a razor-thin 50.0% win rate edge (+0.0%). Individual skill and jungle proximity will matter more than champion advantage in the early laning phase.

Maokai is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 100.0% win rate — 100.0 points above Sion. Extended games heavily favor Maokai, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

The power dynamics shift as the game progresses — Sion has the edge early, but Maokai gradually takes over. However, the margins are slim enough that either champion can win at any stage with the right plays. Focus on taking advantages when you have them rather than waiting for a specific game phase.
