Is Sion better when played alongside Annie?

There is no universally accepted best companion for Sion that will always be his ideal teammate. Yet, Annie is a very typical teammate for Sion. By locking into the same side as Sion, she drops their win rate by -0.5% to 49.7%. This shows that there is a weak synergy between Sion and Annie that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Annie has a greater difficulty than Sion. That means Sion players need to be very careful when arranging Annie comrades to fight alongside, as they will require a greater level of skill to cooperate well with you.

Fighting cooperatively, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magical damage. When paired, these champions can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

Although, by aligning Sion and Annie together, you probably will not be providing your team much anti-tank damage dealing potential. Plan to include other champions on your team that fills this relative hole in this pairing's abilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Annie ally, you need to focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well anyway.
