Sion vs Pantheon in Top lane is a hard lane on patch 26.17. The one thing to respect: his Q poke out-damages any regen you build — sustain runes are wasted against him. Below is the exact page the OTP runs — runes, skill max order, summoner spells, item build and the four tips that decide the lane, plus a quick quiz before you lock in.

How to play it

✓ DO

Respect his poke

His Q poke is why regen runes and Doran's Shield do nothing — you can't out-sustain it.

Play for ganks

You have crazy kill pressure with a good damage jungler — set the lane up for ganks.

Roam or match

You can't win the lane, so roam a lot or match his roams instead.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never feed him early — he's worthless midgame if he isn't fed, but deadly once he snowballs.
