Read from Quinn's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Sion.
This is Quinn's own plan; across 1,040 pooled games the lane is Sion-favoured.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Quinn | You already own range and Harrier resets — Sion's only level-1 tool is Decimating Smash, a telegraphed 10s charge. |
| Level 2 | Quinn | Your W move-speed steroid lets you kite his charge while you poke; he has no answer to the range gap. |
| Level 3 | Quinn | With Q-W-E online you dodge the charge and Vault in for a Harrier reset before Soul Furnace (15s) is back. |
| Levels 4-5 | Quinn | Long Sion cooldowns plus your kite mean you convert trades into plates and a shove while he is still melee and slow. |
| Level 6 | Quinn | R gives you roam tempo he can't match — he's immobile and stuck shoving while you take over the side. |
| First item | Quinn | Your lethality/crit spike and roam still beat a pre-tank Sion — force every all-in on his Q cooldown now. |
| Two+ items | Sion | Sion outscales hard: full tank stats, the charged Q knockup, and his zombie passive flip the duel — end before then. |
Sion is slow and melee, and his one real threat is a fully-charged Decimating Smash — a blind will not stop it, because it is an ability and not an auto-attack, so you sidestep the arc instead. Harrier marks plus your range let you out-trade him at every level: poke him while he charges, and once the swing is spent, Vault in for a free Harrier reset. Don't stand next to him with Soul Furnace up — it detonates three seconds after the shield goes on — but his cooldowns are 10s and 15s at rank 1 and he cannot catch you.
