[Gameplay] Sion Q BUG

Feederella·Sep 13, 2017·8 votes·1,109 views

Every other game Sion's Q literally does nothing. This bug has been around for MONTHS! Sion's Q is a KEY component to his kit, it's shocking that this bug has not been fixed for so long.

One thing I've noticed both from this video and me playing Sion is that it happens when walking backwards and trying to Q in the opposite direction.

It's a really terrible bug that should be fixed.

I'm also noticing this bug every so often in my games, but for some reason it apparently happens very rarely to me (I guess I'm lucky, nobody wants to (play with an) AD Sion with a bugged Q).

I've still not found the cause for this/what you have to do to 100% reproduce this, but it seems to be tied to the glitch where Sion's model isn't turned in the right direction in the 1st half of the Q animation (0-1 sec channel, "windup" for axe smash). It definitely doesn't fail to hit every time Sion starts his Q facing the wrong direction, but it has never happened (at least to me iirc) when Sion would face in the right direction aswell initially.

Must be a fake.

I'm a sion main, and I've watched all of your videos. You baffle my mind with what you do.

I wanted to ask you some questions, but didn't know where or how. A: what do you think about the tank update in relation to sion (pre buffs) B: how do the buffs affect sion and your way of playing him. C: how do you get so much health on him. I've only ever managed to get 400 (now 600) by 20 minutes and it tends to fall from there. D: when is the next Ad sion video coming?

You're basically my league hero. The best and most badass sion player I know of.

This isnt at all pertanent to the bug, but...

I'm not tilt but i can answer C; I usually have 800-1000 hp at 25 in a good game. To make that happen:

FARM (obviously) a lot. Get advantage in lane and miss no farm whilst not giving your enemy an advantage. Ofc I could elaborate a lot more here, but that's not Sion specific, you can look it up everywhere on the Internet. Don't stop farming after the "lane" is over, it's easy to just split and farm top/bot when ult is cooling down and/or TP is up (so you can help your team once ult is back/with tp if nessessary). Don't just play ARAM with your team after 15 minutes. Sometimes you have to concede your farm to a teammate who needs it, it hurts since you gain 8/26.6 additional gold value in direct stats for every minion/large minion. (As compensation Sion's HP/level is the lowest of any tank, so you WANT to farm enough to compensate.)
You want a TON of takedowns. Kills, assists. Deaths don't matter directly, but less deaths = more time to farm. As an AD-Crit Sion in >90% of my games, that's not hard for me. It may be a little harder for you. But that's how you could get a literal shitton of HP.

Going along with Caenen, i usually jungle, so that's a lot of health from farming jungle and Cinderhulk, but i also take Stoneborn if i'm going tank, which is about 99% of games. With those, you don't really need many heath items to get a lot of bonus health

I've only had this happen to me in one game, but it was extremely noticeable and tilting. Thankfully, it wasn't a ranked game, and the Akali was just as confused as I was, so the fight kind of defused and we were both like "wat?!?!?" in chat.

Another VERY impactful Sion bug I would like Riot to address is the one that forces you to ult directly northwards sometimes if your cursor is over your champion portrait when you activate your ult. Being forced to ult in the exact opposite direction of what you intended is absolutely terrible and will absolutely lose you fights and games. Also, it isn't as obvious that it's a bug to the other players, so they think your just an idiot who ulted the wrong way...

I concur that steering with the Minimap/UI is TERRIBLE and I want it gone. Btw the "portrait" steer doesn't always force you northwards, it's just random steering. It's fun to mess around with it in practice tool at least, just hover your portrait and leave your cursor there, then use ult whenever you stopped. The amount of random walldrifts you get is insane (because you ult so often.) That said, I have to always be careful of hitting the minimap/ally portraits with my cursor during ult, it really stings, please someone remove it!

Also a bug commonly occurs when you press R while your cursor is over the minimap; if your cursor location on the map is farther away than the expected ult range, Sion behaves weird, has the Charge vector indicator in front of him and will move forward until he is "in range". It's both useless and absolutely confusing, especially since almost nobody knows about it. I'm not sure if it also happens when you're on the main map far awayfrom your position and try to ult, but i think not. Please remove Minimap steering and just make the ult check your cursor position relative to the whole screen.

I honestly have never had this happen to me before, at least that i can remember, but it looks like one of those bugs that can easily be fixed.
