vayne melts you and is hard to catch, and having a support makes that even easier for her
Ezreal
max w over e 2nd and wave clear and then rotate to fights and its easy win. after getting mythic it takes a long time for him to hurt, especially when other armor items are picked up
Lucian
Lane sucks he dashes your e but if you can survive lane he gets outscaled and can't hurt you.
Samira
She can w your e but not much else, if she goes in ult q and rest of team can easily blow her up.
Jinx
can compete on wave clear early and if you hit and e you can ult her and destroy her mid game, but late game she melts you. Gets out of hand fast
Caitlyn
Good caitlyn spams you constantly can barely hit wave and if anyone blocks your ult from her it's hard to beat
Nilah
Thornmail + frozen heart and she can't hurt you, very easy to beat if you have dps support, if you have other support will be harder
Morgana
nice ult sion haha
Kog'Maw
kogmaw with decent peel melts you can you can barely get near him. if support isn't peeling well you ult him and he's done for in close range
Twitch
bork + ldr will melt you but if you ever get near him anyone can kill him
Tristana
if she ever goes in you cc her and blow her up.
Veigar
can kill him at 6 but otherwise you are big body for him to hit with stacks. can place cage out of your q range and to prevent you from walking after slowing with e unless u have ult.
Yasuo
your q is slow and he dashes around a lot, and having a support to set him up makes it hard to stop
Sivir
sivir can spell shield telegraphed abilities and outranges you with wave.
Miss Fortune
takes a long time for her to hurt you and dorans shield + second wind makes e spam suck. when she ults you can ult at her and then she's screwed
Brand
dodge all his stuff pre6 and you might be able to do something, extremely hard to farm in lane and will be extremely annoying until you get mr.
Draven
he destroys you pre6 shove wave and q from bushes
Kalista
just dont
Xayah
press r
Blitzcrank
not threatening to you but to your support, hard for you to peel if they get hooked. stand proud up front and if he hooks you get onto the adc
Nautilus
not threatening to you but to your support, hard for you to peel if they get hooked. stand proud up front and if he hooks you get onto the adc
Thresh
not the hook thats dangerous so much as lantern, flaying you out of q, and his ults peel when you dont have ult
Pyke
he doesnt hurt you but annoying to catch
Aphelios
slow and loses at 6, can shout his turret for fun if you want. dont let him get to late and its easy
Zeri
very fast focus support ideally as she will just poke you with q and can stay by walls and leave whenever she feels
Soraka
aggressive soraka can have a fun lane and live for a while, but if they sit back and just heal it sucks.
Leona
can get kills early but lane provides not a lot of damage especially when trying to catch squishies if the other team peels a slight bit even
Pantheon
can cheese snowball, if behind it sucks
Senna
the only reason id imagine picking this up seriously, both scale really hard and can be a wall to tank all the damage for her, she can put her root on minion and you e it for funny engage
Zilean
similar to senna with bombs, the slow is fun and if they build some damage will be great time
Pyke
cheese early kills like pantheon, roams better
Blitzcrank
can get a fully charged q off hook knockup works better with ad sion which i dont play
Alistar
only alistar headbutting adc into you really works which is hard to pull off
Ahri
lane i play with duo a lot ahri charm plus sion q followed by e to slow and follow can easily nuke a target
Brand
brand stun into charged q and brand damage is nasty, can block all the spam for him
Syndra
another lane i play with duo syndra damage is no joke on single target makes adc really sad, support doesn't need to peel for you really so if you like syndra run it
Orianna
r synergy is filthy keep ori safe and it can be disgusting
Bard
not great in lane but sion can wave clear under tower well surviving spam with w so bard can roam without having to worry about "adc" dying on repeat
Braum
lets shield the guy who is tankier than me!
Miss Fortune
duo likes playing mf support pretty similar to senna mf e + sion q can be funny and getting sion r + q into mf R can be disgusting
Lux
q + q = sadness for enemy team
Morgana
q + q = sadness for enemy team

starting q you can bush cheese in tri for some early damage or from bush close to enemy tower. getting early damage isn't just nice for the sake of damage but it also takes a lot of pressure off of you and onto them early so you can farm safer as they use pots. any advantages like that are nice because lane is not in your favor. junglers will not want to gank you and if you are not queued with support they will not be happy with you usually either. wave clear early and try and move around the map, shielding spam in lane with w and going for all ins at 6. Generally mage stuns can be really nice as you can take the bulk of the spam for them and when they hit that stun followed by your q the enemy adc is gone.
After laning phase
i do not suggest trying to splitpush as sion adc, not because you can't but because the rest of the team usually does not need someone to do that. playing this normally you are extra peel for your team similar to tahm kench adc, but your qs from brush are infinitely better than tahm kench w. Vision is sion's greatest tool as your damage and stun/knockup ratio on q is absurd, and using vision to the fullest can maximize the usefulness of this pick.
When to play sion adc
I don't generally suggest playing sion adc as it is mostly a pick for fun. I like playing tanks and when I am playing bot lane sometimes I wanna still play sion. Always fun bm to tell the enemy they are losing to sion adc, as they complain about unstoppables and bush cheese. This is a pick I pulled from other champs and sources to make sort of my own, that I play in mid gold draft. I am nowhere near high elo and everyone I play with including me is terrible, but it is a pick I like having fun with. On a more serious side, If your support and mid don't need the peel something like a kench adc would give sion adc is great for jumping their backline, holding the frontline, or filling whatever gap is needed. If you plan on playing this as said before, try and be at least a duo with your support who has an idea of what you are doing, do not blame random supports for not knowing what to do when they are used to playing with a ranged champ that sits back and farms and instead they get fat tank who charges head first into the enemy. Any comments are always appreciated and I will try and update as time goes on.
