| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Aatrox | Level 1 is even — only his charged Q threatens and it's easy to respect. |
| Level 2 | Aatrox | Level 2 stays a slow farm lane with no real all-in from either side. |
| Level 3 | Aatrox | At 3 you can sidestep his Q and punish with Q3 + W drain. |
| Levels 4-5 | Aatrox | Levels 4-5 your Q pattern and heal beat his shield sustain cleanly. |
| Level 6 | Aatrox | At 6 his R Unstoppable Onslaught flips fights and tips the lane to Sion. |
| First item | Aatrox | His first-item tank spike slows your drain and favors Sion. |
| Two+ items | Sion | Late-game your item and Q scaling out-brawl his single-target threat. |
Levels 1-2 are even and slow — Sion's charged Q is his only real threat, so respect the wind-up and don't stand in the AoE when it detonates. Neither of you wants to commit before level 3; farm cleanly and watch his mana. If he throws Q on the wave to shove, step up and last-hit safely rather than eating a full-charge knockup.
