Sion vs Thresh Matchup Summary

The Sion vs Thresh matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 24 recent matches analyzed, Sion wins with a 54.2% win rate compared to Thresh's 45.8%, giving Sion a 8.3 percentage point advantage. Sion dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Thresh players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Sion leads by 757 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Sion players can confidently pick into Thresh and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Thresh away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Damage

Sustain
1,905Sion
