Sion cannot cast Q for a duration after colliding with R.

I've tested this a good 4 times, after landing R on enemies Sion can no longer charge his Q. You can auto attack or move, but you can not charge Q until the stun wears off the enemy.

This is a vital combo for Sion's engage, please look into it.

Thank you.

Looked into this bug today, should have a fix in for patch 5.19.

Wow. No wonder... i thought someone was stunning me constantly at the exact right time. No ranked for me till this is fixed.

That is a huge bug to sions gameplay

a really important combo

Just tested it. It currently acts somewhat like Riven's Q disabling her auto attacks but not her movements, to which players bypass by using Q -> move -> attack to create a basic attack that is used directly after the Q. The same can be applied to Sion's R but instead of a auto lock-out it locks out his Q instead for some reason.

So until they fix this or if they never fix this, the way to Q after R is to input a move command then Q.

R lands -> right click -> Q and you'll be able to Q right out of R. Still seems weird that it's locked out in the first place though.

But anyway, there's your temporary (or permanent) fix.

I have also been experiencing this... Maybe it's an unintended bug caused by the Sion bugfix from last patch:

"Sion's Q - Decimating Smash knockup animation has been extended to match the actual duration of the effect"

Would appreciate some clarification on this Rito... :/

I had assumed that was designed, but that would be quite the bugfix buff to him if that's the case.

Thank god it wasnt only happening to me. I hope they fix this soon, it makes my jungle sion a lot worse with his ganks.

Well until its fixed, you need to either A: move a little before you q or B: use e before q (which would get more overall damage)

This happened to my friend.

Thanks for bringing this up. I thought I was crazy. It sucked in ARAM.

I always thought there was some funny business with this combo. It was kind of on/off though, as I always did a movement command immediately after the ult hits and then did the Q. Something about doing that feels good, and you stand right on top of them and block their exit. Players should be able to be boring and push only R and Q though, and that's understandable.

I thought it was just me. Glad to see confirmation. Need a red reply on this. His combo is really the only reason to pick him.

SpecterVonBaren9/11/2015, 7:53:03 PM1 votes

You can still use it even before they're stunned, but I have noticed that I can no longer instantly start my q right after hitting ult and have to wait half a second before it will go and I can't just mash q since I could end up stopping the channel early.

are you smart casting? just curious

Nebuul9/11/2015, 8:11:50 PM1 votes

Yeah I noticed this in an ARAM last night.

AntiFlash9/11/2015, 8:18:16 PM1 votes

Thats why you use your e for the armor shred first

So that's what was happening a couple games ago, huh? I thought maybe I was doing the combo wrong or something.. Yeah. uh. Rito pls fix.
