Extremely Old Sion Bugs That Somehow Get Zero Attention

I realize that videos and screen shots are helpful on these Bug-boards. And as someone who plays a lot of Sion I really have no excuse for not having video evidence of this issue. HOWEVER, the frequency with which this issue is complained about always gave me a sense that "Eh, they'll get to it. No need for me to bitch when I'm sure someone HAS to be working on this GLARING issue." But as of yet I havent seen word one about the following Sion bugs: First and absolutely foremost: Sion's Q and R. For the love of god and all that is good in this world can we PLEASE figure out why, a huge portion of the games I (and everyone else) play with Sion his Ult and Q arbitrarily become INACCESSIBLE. You cannot click them. You cannot use your Q and R keys. They simply will not activate. The only fix I have discovered as of yet is to disconnect and reconnect. I've done this procedure so many times that I have now developed very strong feelings regarding Riots 5 second game exit delay. (You guys need a straight up "Reload" button, that 20 seconds I waste every game waiting for "the team needs you" mini lecture to run its course is a killer). But I digress, this issue seems like something that someone should have at least recognized as a problem by now. And perhaps someone has, but I keep a pretty sharp eye out for mention of Sion (its pretty rare he comes up) and I've yet to see even a hint of this problem. The number of ranked games that could have been won had I simply been able to use my abilities and not have to reconnect is kind of sickening to me.

The second and far less glaring problem: Sometimes when Sion ults, the directional indicator for his ult seems to swivel around away from my cursor. This happens most frequently when Sion is standing near a wall so perhaps collision detection is to blame. But this also happens (rarely) with his q and e. For the longest time I had myself convinced that user error was to blame for this "bug" but It has occurred during moments of great focus when I absolutely had no way of causing the issue. (By user error I mean minutely moving the mouse in the wrong direction when the cursor is directly on top of Sions character model, but in the situations I was just referencing my cursor was far from Sion directly on top of my intended target and still the ult shot off in a 45 degree angle to the cursor.

Third and final bug I've noticed that is more irritating than the second: His E. Occasionally a minion that Sion as sent flying at an opponent will collide with an invisible wall and halt mid flight. Normally the minion dies so perhaps that is the cause, however it seems that the majority of minions who should die mid flight finish their trajectories before stopping so I cant quite tell what is supposed to occur.

Tl;Dr: Sions Q and R are bugged. I'd just like someone from Riot to acknowledge it and let me know if they are fixing the problem. The other bug is notable but far less frequent.

I play a good amount of Sion and have never encountered this.

Never encountered this either.

I know with his R, if you hit a wall at a very thin angle (like less than 45 degrees) he'll change his pathing slightly rather than stopping like he hit it. Maybe that's at fault? I can't really tell what you're describing.
