Sion vs Maokai Matchup Summary

The Sion vs Maokai matchup is essentially a coin-flip matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 14 recent matches analyzed, Sion wins with a 50.0% win rate compared to Maokai's 50.0%, giving Sion a 0.0 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 1.6s CC/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 Maokai'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
1,115Sion
934Maokai

Utility
1.7Sion
3.2Maokai
Maokai brings significantly more crowd control than Sion, with 1.6 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.

Sion dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 100.0% win rate — a 100.0 percentage point lead over Maokai. This lopsided early game means Sion can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Maokai is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 87.5% win rate — 75.0 points above Sion. Extended games heavily favor Maokai, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Sion must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Maokai reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Maokai survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
