Sion vs Master Yi Matchup Summary

The Sion vs Master Yi matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 17 recent matches analyzed, Master Yi wins with a 64.7% win rate compared to Sion's 35.3%, giving Master Yi a 29.4 percentage point advantage. Master Yi 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. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Sion leads by 1.2s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Master Yi 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 Master Yi 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.

1,033Master Yi
Master Yi heavily out-damages Sion by 127 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 Master Yi's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
15,060Sion

Master Yi earns 634 more gold per game than Sion, equivalent to roughly one additional component item. This economic edge comes from a combination of better farming, kill participation, and objective control, giving Master Yi slightly faster item completions.
Utility
1.3Sion
0.1Master Yi
Sion brings significantly more crowd control than Master Yi, with 1.2 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
3,109Sion
1,279Master Yi
Sion vastly out-sustains Master Yi, healing and mitigating 1,830 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Sion can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Master Yi is forced to recall.
