This is Yasuo's own plan; across 4,471 pooled games the lane is leaning Sion.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yasuo | Level 1 Sion's slow, telegraphed kit loses the auto-trade to your E-Q mobility. |
| Level 2 | Yasuo | At level 2 your burst outpaces his weak early autos. |
| Level 3 | Yasuo | At level 3 you sidestep his charged Q; the wall only stops his E. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yasuo | Levels 4-5 hinge on whether you dodge the charged Q knockup. |
| Level 6 | Yasuo | At 6 neither kills cleanly — he stalls, you cannot burst a tank. |
| First item | Yasuo | On first item your crits shred his tank stats and Windwall stops his ranged E. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Late game is skill-dependent — his hard-engage knock-ups threaten a clipped Yasuo. |
Levels 1-2 are yours: Sion's kit is slow and telegraphed, so your E-Q weaves around his charged Q and out-trades his autos every time.
