Ahri is virtually impossible for Sion to get on top of due to her dashes, and is rather dangerous due to her charm, which is difficult to juke while approaching her.
On the upside, Ahri is extremely frail and can't solo you late game. If her ult is down and she lacks backup, you run her down.
Alistar
Lifesteal is based on post-mitigation damage.
Unbreakable Will means that Alistar has *massive* mitigation, so your don't heal for **** when targeting him. He also has a ton of CC, making it very difficult for you to get to his ADC if he's the goalie.
On the upside, Sion can outplay the WQ combo; if you buffer your Q for when he headbutts you, he'll be stunned on arrival and be unable to pulverize.
Amumu
He's durable, has some CC, and does a lot of damage to you.
You should be able to stat check him, just be sure to prioritize resistances over health and to get your FoN before teamfights start happening.
Anivia
As he is utterly reliant on Ghost, Sion is unable to deal with Anivia's wall, and her CC can prove a challenge for Sion to deal with when getting to her team.
As a saving grace, her E range is comparable to your Q range, meaning if she's close enough to do significant damage to you, she's close enough to be stunned.
Annie
Stuns are a drag, but Annie is an immobile burst mage and Sion is a speedy tank.
Tibbers is a bloodbag for your ult.
Ashe
Yeah she has a stun. She has slows.
Unfortunately, she's also made of paper, doesn't do great damage, and is an absolute snail. If you pop Ghost+R and walk at her, her fate is entirely in the hands of her team.
Blitzcrank
Please don't get hooked.
Brand
Prioritize resistances over HP when fighting Brand.
Cho'Gath
Cho can be *very* annoying if he spams Q at you in teamfights, as you need to approach your targets fairly directly, making you an easy target for the Q's and a very *good* target for the Q's.
On the upside, he's a bit of a bloodbag. His ult doesn't hurt nearly as hard in classic, but mind it all the same, true damage won't be reduced by a resistance-heavy build.
Corki
At time of writing, one of the strongest ADCs in classic. Tons of damage in all three types plus mobility and resistance shredding. Yikes.
Dr. Mundo
Two wet noodles walk into a bar...
Get some of each resistance and he isn't really a problem.
Evelynn
Her ganks can be a problem, but Eve is a very close range champion whose damage output can't keep up with your lifesteal. You stun her to death and eat her alive if she goes for you.
Ezreal
If he's doing it right you can't touch him.
Fiddlesticks
If he focuses his fears on you, it becomes very difficult for you to do your job.
On the upside, you make it impossible for him to sit there and Drain.
Gangplank
He can't harass you out of lane, but you can't go on him because of oranges and high speed.
Garen
This is a Sunfire lane; you need the flat HP to deal with his ult.
Gragas
Just a busted champion.
Body slam combined with his range makes him uncatchable. While he isn't a massive threat to you, he's a bigger threat to your team than you are to his.
Heimerdinger
If you're laning against him, it's not so bad. Respect his turrets and damage them where you can, go on him if he runs out of mana.
Note that since turrets (at time of writing) don't apply Liandry's, as long as nobody else counters HP stacking, Heim is a champion you can go Atmogs into.
This issue arises if the Heim is positioning well in teamfights. The turrets *must* die for you to approach without getting melted, but you are terrible at killing those things and can't contribute much without running at the enemy.
Janna
Kiting god.
Jarvan IV
His armor shred can make his allies a threat, and you can't escape Cataclysm, but J4 himself doesn't do much to you and is largely a bloodbag.
Jax
Jax counters your lifesteal, does hybrid damage, and thrives in the extended fights Sion creates.
You can't really duel him, but you *can* shut him down hard in teamfights by sitting with your carries and stunning him on CD.
Karthus
Buy FoN. Press W when he ults. Stay on high HP with ult.
He hurts if he's landing isolated Q's on you in teamfights, but he isn't really an issue.
Kassadin
You can't gank him after 6, but targeted stuns are how you shut this champion down in teamfights.
Katarina
That's a very nice ult you have there, would be a shame if you got STUNNED.
If she buys a Banshees, be *extremely* aware of it.
Kayle
Her Q slow is absolutely crippling.
Her W is a permanent 12% speed buff.
She does a ton of damage.
Her R is 100% mit, meaning you aren't killing your stun target and you aren't *lifestealing* because you're doing no damage.
Kog'Maw
If he is getting peel, he will absolutely melt you.
If not, press Q and he dies.
Lee Sin
Can be an issue early, but he falls off.
At all stages, you struggle to catch this slippery bastard as long as he has wards.
Leona
Lots of stuns, lots of CC, but she can be dealt with.
Lulu
Lots of peel.
Lulu herself isn't an issue. If she has a Kog'maw, though....
Lux
Dodge her snare and you're fine.
Malphite
Wet noodle fight, but this one kinda hurts. Hard to lifesteal through the attack slows and armor, somewhat hard to reach his team through the slows if he's on defense.
Malzahar
I mean, he probably doesn't want to be ulting you, but it's really nasty if he does.
Master Yi
Be careful about him dodging Q with alpha.
AD Yi is a major threat if he dodges your stun and has ult. If he gets stunned or doesn't have ult, much less so.
AP Yi doesn't threaten you, but you should prioritize stunning/killing him to protect your team.
Miss Fortune
Aside from innate grievous, this champion is a bit of a joke I'm not gonna lie.
Morgana
Binding is annoying. Black shield is annoying.
Nasus
You can't bully him out of lane, and Wither is absolutely crippling.
Nidalee
Dodge the damn spear.
Nunu & Willump
Permaslows are very bad for you.
Olaf
You stat check him later, and you can just walk away from him for most of the game if you need to.
Pantheon
Start with cloth armor, rush frozen heart. Play very, very safe. Pantheon falls off late game, but his early game is utterly terrifying. Be especially careful of his ignite, and don't let yourself be brought low.
Rammus
Between his armor and his thorns, you aren't healing off of him, and with his taunt you *will* be hitting him.
Ryze
Champion is kinda busted, but you can tank up enough to survive his opening salvo, and he *really* doesn't like being stunned.
Shaco
Play under tower as much as possible. His ganks make him a menace and you'll never catch the guy, but he's more manageable once you scale.
Singed
Sion is prety good at dealing with his proxy. Between your passive and shield, you don't mind tanking the creep wave to save tower HP a bit, and once you get your ult you have virtually bottomless sustain.
Sivir
At time of writing, be aware that many of Sivir's modern skins are bugged; her spell shield appears to go away after 1.5 seconds, but know that it lasts 3 seconds. If she throws it early, don't be baited by this.
Sivir is great at kiting you and can block your stun fairly reliably. You can *try* to outplay it by popping your W the instant before your Q would land, but that's a ****shoot.
Skarner
Permaslows are bad for you, and unlike Nunu he does a lot of damage.
Sona
Nothing special.
Soraka
Soraka support isn't anything special, just be aware that your target may have more HP than they appear to.
Soraka TOP is an absolute menace.
Taric
He's durable for a support and has solid peel.
Teemo
Absolute hell to lane against.
A bit of a joke in teamfights.
For the love of all that is holy BUY ORACLE ELIXIR.
Tristana
She significantly out-ranges your stun, has an escape, and has innate grievous, but her damage output isn't as crazy as other ADCs and her base movespeed is terrible.
Tryndamere
BAN HIM.
Twisted Fate
Sleeper OP.
Stuns you repeatedly in teamfights, global slow, and ganks you from anywhere on the map.
Twitch
If he buys BotRK, focus on resists.
He has a lot of range and does a lot of damage, but he's a sitting duck. His Q may be true invis, but it doesn't give movespeed in this version; buy an oracles and he's screwed without strong peel.
Vayne
THE tankbuster, absolutely a major threat. Fortunately, we have some edges.
Lots of Sion's durability comes from heals/shields, which don't go into Silver Bolts' calculations, so we're a bit tankier than we seem.
Vayne is short range, meaning she's a pretty easy target for stuns if she's trying to kill us.
Vayne's invisibility is countered by Oracles and pink wards. Please buy true sight.
Veigar
You can't cross the cage.
Veigar himself isn't too bad. If his team can melt you in the cage, he's a really bad matchup. Otherwise, eh?
Warwick
You two are the same champion.
Don't write off the magic damage he does with Feral Flare or Bloodrazor, focus on resistances against him, and stun him to death for your team.
Wukong
Try not to stun the clone.
Zilean
Note that this version of Zilean cannot keep Time Warp active permanently, and he has no stuns.
Regardless, it's hard to catch him and he's good at saving people,.
