Sion vs Nidalee Matchup Summary

The Sion vs Nidalee matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 5 recent matches analyzed, Sion wins with a 60.0% win rate compared to Nidalee's 40.0%, giving Sion a 20.0 percentage point advantage. Sion dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Nidalee players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential.

Utility
1.1Sion
0.2Nidalee
Sion brings significantly more crowd control than Nidalee, 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
2,540Sion
1,545Nidalee
Sion vastly out-sustains Nidalee, healing and mitigating 996 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Sion can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Nidalee is forced to recall.
