Crash waves after forcing a bad reset. - Answer his side pressure with waveclear before grouping for objectives. Avoid slow ganks on him when the enemy can countergank during the long kill timer. - Ignore him when he cannot reach your carries and cut off his follow-up instead. Save displacement for his charged Q or R entry. ## Where Sion is weak Exploit these in draft and in lane. - Sion's engage is heavily telegraphed, so prepared enemies can sidestep his charge and punish his long recovery. - Sion converts health into durability but offers limited backline threat when carries keep distance from his slow swings. ## Sion counters: questions ### Who counters Sion in Top?
