Garen has a lower difficulty than Sion. That means Sion players don't need to be very careful when finding Garen comrades to fight alongside, as they will have to have a lower level of skill to be able to play well with you.
Fighting alongside, Sion players should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to soak up damage. Together, these champions might be able to provide enough cover for their team's carries.
In contrast, by grouping Sion and Garen together, you may not be giving your other teammates a lot of magical damage output. Make sure to bring other champions on your team that offsets this gap in this pairing's abilities.
Regardless of the ability of your Garen teammate, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
