Is Sion better when played alongside Zeri?

There is no universally accepted best companion for Sion that will 100% of the time be his ideal synergy. Yet, overall, Zeri is a not very good companion for Sion. By locking into the same team as Sion, they decreases their win rate by -2.0% to 48.2%. This proves that there is a bad synergy between Sion and Zeri that results in them performing worse together than alone.

Zeri has a greater difficulty than Sion. That means Sion players should be cautious when lining up Zeri allies to play with, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to fight well with you.

Fighting alongside, you will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to tank a lot of damage. Together, these champs will be able to tank for the rest of their team.

Regardless of the ability of your Zeri teammate, you need to focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well, regardless.
