How to beat Sion

Common role: Top

An unstoppable tank who charges across the map to knock up your whole team.

What makes Sion dangerous

Sion charges up a knock-up stun (Q), a shield-slam (W), and his ultimate is an unstoppable charge across the map that knocks up and stuns everyone he crashes into. On death his passive lets him keep fighting as a raging zombie. He's a hard-engage frontline that starts fights from screens away.

How to play against Sion

• 1Dodge his charged Q — the longer he charges, the longer the stun. Sidestep it and interrupt him if you can.
• 2His ultimate is a wide unstoppable charge — sidestep to the flank so he can't line it up on your team, and it can be steered but not stopped.
• 3On death he becomes a temporary zombie — don't waste focus on the passive form; back off and let it expire.
• 4Low personal damage as a tank — % health and magic damage beat his armor, and kiting avoids his short-range slam.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Charged Q and ult are dodgeable/steerable-only.
• ✓Low damage outside his combo — a peel/engage tank.
• ✓% health and magic damage beat his armor.
• ✓Zombie passive is temporary — don't feed it focus.
