Sion vs Talon Matchup Summary

The Sion vs Talon matchup is essentially a coin-flip matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 6 recent matches analyzed, Sion wins with a 50.0% win rate compared to Talon's 50.0%, giving Sion a 0.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Talon controls the early laning stage, but Sion outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Talon 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 crowd control, where Sion leads by 1.3s 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 Talon'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.

Utility
1.6Sion
0.4Talon
Sion brings significantly more crowd control than Talon, with 1.3 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

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

Sion is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 60.0% win rate — 20.0 points above Talon. Extended games heavily favor Sion, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Talon must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Sion reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Sion 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.
