Sion vs Yorick

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Focus on controlling the wave and using brush or fog to land charged (Q) for poke and zone Yorick.
This is a scaling, teamfight-oriented matchup where Sion must avoid giving Yorick free side-lane pressure.
Manage lane pressure to prevent Yorick from setting up graves and Maiden for tower sieges.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades by landing (E) slow to set up charged (Q) knockups from hidden angles.
Punish Yorick after he misses (E) or when his graves and Maiden are not active to reduce his pressure.
Avoid charging (Q) in obvious spots where Yorick can easily dodge or counterattack.

Danger windows

Respect Yorick's threat when ghouls are ready and (E) marks you, as he can follow up with sustained damage.
Be cautious when Maiden is alive and Yorick can pressure towers, avoiding extended fights near turrets.
Avoid committing to trades when (Q) is missed or (W) shield is down, as Yorick can punish your vulnerability.

Early game

Use (E) to slow Yorick and follow up with charged (Q) from fog or brush to punish his low mobility early.
Avoid extended trades when (W) shield is down to minimize damage from Yorick's sustained hits.
Prioritize farming safely and stacking (W) health to prepare for post-6 teamfights and engage potential.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) with clear paths and team follow-up to force fights or return lane pressure.
After first tank item and with high health scaling from (W), become a durable frontline that Yorick struggles to remove.
Respect Yorick's level 6 spike when Maiden is summoned, as his side-lane pressure and dueling power increase sharply.

Win conditions

Deny Yorick the chance to set up graves and keep Maiden alive by controlling wave and vision around brush.
Scale health with (W) and use charged (Q) and (R) to initiate teamfights and disrupt Yorick's splitpush.
Use waveclear and fog angles to maintain lane control, preventing Yorick from gaining side-lane pressure and forcing him into unfavorable fights.
