Sion vs Pyke Matchup Summary

The Sion vs Pyke matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 14 recent matches analyzed, Pyke wins with a 57.1% win rate compared to Sion's 42.9%, giving Pyke a 14.3 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Sion controls the early laning stage, but Pyke outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Sion needs to press advantages before Pyke reaches their power spikes, while Pyke should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Sion leads by 1,222 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Pyke 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 Pyke 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.

The early game (first 15 minutes) is a toss-up between Sion and Pyke, 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.

Pyke is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 62.5% win rate — 25.0 points above Sion. Extended games heavily favor Pyke, 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 Pyke 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.
