How to win lane as Teemo against Sion · 43.56% win rate (3,864 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
He tanks your poke and farms freely under tower, out-scaling your chip. Shove and roam instead of dueling.
Track: Sion's Q — Decimating Smash (10–6s cooldown). Charged = knockup. Dodge it.
Read from Teemo's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Sion.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Sion | Sion's charged Q knockup punishes any stationary position — your camouflage passive is a liability here. Farm at max Toxic Shot range and keep moving. |
| Level 2 | Sion | Soul Furnace eats your poke then reactivates for max-health damage, and Roar of the Slayer shreds your armour from 800 — outside your 680 reach. |
| Level 3 | Sion | Full kit Sion at level 3 can charged-Q knockup into Roar of the Slayer armour shred into auto burst before you disengage with W — stay at range and deny the free walk-up. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | His Q cooldown is long and your poison stacks are building, but he can still land a surprise charged Q from fog. Neither of you has a decisive edge yet — play the poke loop but never stand still. |
| Level 6 | Teemo | Your Noxious Trap mushrooms come online and transform the lane: shroom the tribush and river entries so his Unstoppable Onslaught has no clean path and he cannot follow up your kite. |
| First item | Teemo | Liandry's Torment turns Toxic Shot into a percent-health burn that shreds his stacking HP before Warmog's regen catches up — force poison trades constantly and never let him sit at full health. |
| Two+ items | Teemo | You own the split-push and vision map, but his Heartsteel-Warmog's scaling means he can absorb attrition. Maintain shroom walls at objective chokes and commit to macro denial over direct 1v1 trades. |
Sion owns levels 1 through 3 because his charged Q is a direct counter to your camouflage passive — standing still to turn invisible is exactly what he wants you to do so he can walk up and knock you up from brush. Never proc your passive while he has Q available. Roar of the Slayer shreds armour and slows from 800 range, outside your 680, but the real threat is that charged Q one-shot: stay at your max Toxic Shot auto range, move constantly, and never let him get a stationary read on you. Poke the full 10s after a whiffed charge and leave the radius the moment his Q glows.
