Sion vs Syndra Matchup Summary

The Sion vs Syndra matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 21 recent matches analyzed, Syndra wins with a 71.4% win rate compared to Sion's 28.6%, giving Syndra a 42.9 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Syndra controls the early laning stage, but Sion outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Syndra needs to press advantages before Sion reaches their power spikes, while Sion should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Sion leads by 2,521 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Syndra 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 Syndra 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.

Farming
7.7Sion

Damage
697Sion
1,170Syndra
Syndra heavily out-damages Sion by 473 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 Syndra's sustained damage advantage take over.

Syndra provides 0.6 seconds more crowd control per minute than Sion, offering better gank setup potential and slightly more team fight utility. This CC advantage helps Syndra coordinate with their jungler and control the pace of skirmishes.
Sustain
2,923Sion

Syndra dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 90.9% win rate — a 81.8 percentage point lead over Sion. This lopsided early game means Syndra can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Late game (25+ minutes) is equally balanced, with Sion at 50.0% win rate — only 0.0 points ahead of Syndra. Team fight execution and macro play determine the winner at this stage, not champion matchup advantage.

The power dynamics shift as the game progresses — Syndra has the edge early, but Sion 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.
