How to Play with Sion as Poppy in LoL
The Poppy Sion synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Sion, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.
Overall, Poppy sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Sion. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This negative change shows that Sion helps Poppy perform not as well in ranked League matches. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is not very impactful.
When Poppy tries to synergize with Sion, she gets a little drop in her total damage output. This change could demonstrate that Sion does not help protection for her to dish out more damage or that his presence also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Poppy is played together with Sion on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Sion.
Additionally, when Poppy plays with Sion on the same side, she often takes a little more damage than when she plays alone. Receiving more damage may indicate that Sion does a poor job of covering Poppy during teamfights.

Is Poppy better when played alongside Sion?
There is no universally accepted best champion pairing for Poppy that will always be her #1 synergy. However, Sion is a very typical teammate for Poppy. By playing on the same side as Poppy, he increases their win rate by 0.5% to 50.2%. This clearly indicates that there is a weak bond between Poppy and Sion that allows them to perform stronger together than without each other.
Sion has a lower difficulty than Poppy. That means you don't need to be careful when arranging Sion teammates to fight alongside, as they will have to have a relatively low level of skill to work well with you.
Working on the same side, you will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to tank a lot of damage. Together, these champions might be able to provide enough cover for their team's carries.
In contrast, by pairing Poppy and Sion together, you may not be granting your other allies enough magical damage output. Plan to include other champs on your team that offsets this relative gap in their kit.
Regardless of the ability of your Sion ally, you should focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
