Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1SionSion'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 2SionHis W shield into E strip combo lets him absorb your poke and break your kite pattern at level 2. He walks forward and you must respect that.
Level 3SionFull kit Sion at level 3 can charged-Q knockup into E-shield-break into auto burst before you disengage with W — stay at range and never let him get a free walk-up.
Levels 4-5Even / skillHis 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 6TeemoYour 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 itemTeemoLiandry's Angueur 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+ itemsTeemoYou 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.

Early game (levels 1–5)

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. His E also strips shields, 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. Take poke trades with E autos and back off the moment his Q starts glowing — do not be in that radius when it releases.
