[GAMEPLAY] - Sion Q bug, Sion R bug, Sion emote bug.
While I haven't played a LOT of the new Sion yet - only two botmatches and a custom solo game for lulz - I did find a number of bugs comparable to release Azir.
Q:::
The only game-breaking bug seems to be with his Decimating Smash and interrupting it. I have played three matches and out of those, there have been two cases where both Decimating Smash AND Unstoppable Onslaught would become uncastable after having Decimating Smash interrupted in some way. Now, I do have a habit of spam-spam-spamming an ability to try to at least get the minimum effect, and that might have contributed to the issue.
The times it occurred were as follows:
- I was beating on the enemy turret after chunking off their health. During the skirmish, Decimating Smash ended up being interrupted and afterwards I had not enough mana to try a recast. I broke down the turret and had to retreat as the AI started to get aggressive and I had half health. During the retreat I regenerated enough mana for a Decimating Smash which would have turned the tables enough for me to get a kill. Unfortunately, Q would not cast and, after returning to base and gaining more mana, neither would Unstoppable Onslaught.
- I was in a custom game seeing what Sion running really fast looks like (SPOILER, it looks BAD because he doesn't have a shuffle-to-jog thing going on like Nautilus does as movespeed increases.) and ended up eating the beginner AI like candy. I charged into a group of three and easily dispatched one, waited until their CC SHOULD have been down, then charged a Decimating Smash only to have it interrupted. Following that, both Decimating Smash and Unstoppable Onslaught became uncastable.
Leaving and re-joining seems to fix this issue, but it is a temporary and inconvenient solution.
R:::
This occurred only once, and it might be an exception but it did certainly ruin an attempt to engage. I was fighting some minions, facing down the enemy lane as I beat away at them. And enemy champion popped into sight and was a respectable distance away from its turret. So, naturally, I pop my ult to force an engagement aaaaand... Sion takes 0.5 sec to turn 90 degrees to the right (was on purple team, facing to the south of the map) and runs RIGHT INTO A WALL. I was under the impression only terrain and champions were supposed to affect Sion's Unstoppable Onslaught but I guess initially minions count as terrain?
Emotes:::
I noticed a bug with Sion's emotes. His dialogue, rather. Whenever I use Sion's Decimating Smash, he will say some dialogue. Cool. After that, his Joke, Taunt, and Laugh audio will NEVER trigger on my end. It remains to be seen whether allies and enemies can still hear it but I cannot and this has happened every match I've played Sion so far.
Leaving and re-joining seems to fix the issue, and somehow prevented the issue from occurring again in one case.
Afterthought Edit: It may be useful to note I was using the Warmonger Sion skin. I have not used his classic skin yet.
