I have problem with:

Darius - by far the worst lane, you cant farm except E, dont even think about fighting him or even coming close to him, there is no way in hell you can do anything here, just pray for mid-late game

Riven - skill matchup, but much more skill needed for the Sion player to actually land some skills and preferably not while her E is up

Yasuo - another fucked lane, you will never land anything on Yasuo because of his infinite mobility, when he gets 1 crit item his ulti will destroy all your hard earned armor so yeah enjoy that too

Jayce - as any other melee top laner, enjoy getting extremely harassed by this fucker who, unlike other ranged tops, can also go melee and turret dive you with ease, but you can at least farm somewhat

Fiora - this isnt hard lane for farming, but I wouldnt recommend fighting her at all because she is a tank shreder

Gnar - another ranged fucker, this one however doesnt pack the early game damage of Jayce, nonetheless dont try to trade with him since you will never win, just try to farm especially when he goes mega since its the % dmg from ranged that screws you, not his pathetic attempt at being scary :D

Garen - I actually have problem with this noob friendly bushman, since Sion is a tank that mostly uses harass rather than all in cc engage, the tactic of "I will go chill under the turret for 10 seconds and return with full hp" really screws Sion, because unlike our friend Garen, we have some mana issues if we spam too much

Dont forget, Sion is a very strong laner so abuse it if you can but dont go for too much vs another strong laner or harasser or just a good player. You DONT have to win lane, you scale incredibly hard with farm, late game you might not pack the same damage, but tons of CC + hard engage + the hp that you earned with your farm will make you more than useful.

Late-game marksmen counter him. Mages who deal % health damage (especially ones that can effectively make use of Liandry's) make his live miserable. Highly mobile champions counter him, because they make it incredibly hard for him to land his CC.

Fiora, Riven, Renekton, Darius, etc.

When you have a hard matchup as Sion, just forget it and roam.

I find Nasus to be a bit of a hard match up; he scales infinitely in terms of damage, and has sustain thanks to his passive. As sion, you just cant do much in terms of poking him out, but try to make him lose stacks early. Jungler help is recommended, and dont push hard.

Fiora There's just nothing you can do to her ever.

Morgana If the player is good, she can really mess up your initiation and just control you all game.

Azir It's like his entire kit is made to counter Sion's.

Just about any champion can deal with Sion as long as you can dodge his skills, the more mobile they are the better. Sion is like the Zangief of LoL. He smashes noobs, but takes a lot of foresight against good players due to how telegraphed and slow he is.

EDIT: Vayne is also pretty friggin annoying if the player is good. Never die, always kills, and there is nothing you can do about it.
