Sion vs Zac Matchup Summary

The Sion vs Zac matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 7 recent matches analyzed, Sion wins with a 71.4% win rate compared to Zac's 28.6%, giving Sion a 42.9 percentage point advantage. Sion dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights.
