How to win lane as Singed against Sion · 56.34% win rate over 2,089 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Sion has no level-1 chase tool and Decimating Smash is easy to strafe — set up Poison Trail passes without committing to a duel. |
| Level 2 | Singed | Fling + Mega Adhesive roots Sion through his own Q charge animation — the first all-in punish window opens here. |
| Level 3 | Singed | Full kit online and Sion has no answer: root with W, Fling into the cloud, run the full Poison Trail lap while he stands stuck. |
| Levels 4-5 | Singed | Proxying accelerates: Sion cannot follow you behind his tower and his slow walk speed means your Poison Trail gets free ticks every time he tries. |
| Level 6 | Singed | Insanity Potion's movement and regen make you impossible for Sion to run down — his only hope was catching you and that window is now permanently closed. |
| First item | Singed | Rylai's Crystal Scepter locks Sion in Poison Trail permanently — his immobility and lack of dash mean the slow is a death sentence with no counterplay. |
| Two+ items | Singed | Sion's teamfight W explosion is his only remaining relevance — your side-lane 1v1 dominance is total, but respect his grouping potential and force map trades. |
At level 1 Sion's Decimating Smash is the only thing that matters — he will walk at you slowly and charge the knockup. Never run directly away from a charging Sion; strafe sideways so the cone misses, then trail Poison behind you as he lumbers past. You lose a straight stand-and-trade at level 1, but you never have to take that trade. Drop Poison Trail through him on every pass and reset at tower if his shield comes up.
