A Couple of Bugs from Sion (Non-Game breaking)

Hello! I'm hear to make known about a couple of bugs that I've noticed about Sion, the undead juggernaut.

I play quite a bit of Sion, even in the days of his udder "clunckiness" (and maybe sometimes broken #RIP130%Lifesteal), and still enjoy him a lot today. He's big, menacing, and when playing in his shoes, you just want to smash and crash on the other team's party.

Now the reason I'm here is to bring to light about a couple of bugs I've noticed while either building, or taunting the enemy. It's nothing to be too worried about, but concerns me as it takes a bit of the immersive feeling behind playing this champion. The problems I think should be easy to replicate, especially concerning Sion using Ravenous Hydra.

1st Bug

• Anytime, any game that I've played with Sion has always had this bug when building Ravenous Hydra with him. Auto attacks are seen just fine and look nice with the item's passive, but as soon as I use the active, Sion stops everything that he's doing and stands still. Normally with other champions, their auto attack would be seen being made once the active on Ravenous Hydra was used, but with Sion something causes him to freeze when pressing the active. The active still registers hitting in the AOE in front of him, but Sion does not auto attack during that to indicate that he is using Ravenous Hydra. Again, this doesn't hurt the game in a "breaking" kind of way, but loses a bit of frosting to the cake of the character.

2nd Bug

• Sion's emotes are great, and I enjoy using them on occasion to taste a bit of the dialogue behind the dark, bone crushing, bloodthirsty zombie (not to mention taunting the other team). However, they don't seem to quite work on different occasions. When upon entering the game, his emotes seem to work just fine, using his laugh, taunts, and jokes to mess around before the game starts up. As the game progresses, in certain instances when I go to use his laugh, joke, or taunt, Sion remains muted, but shows the animation that he is performing it when standing still. As I played more games as him, I believed to have narrowed it down to the source of the issue. Before Sion begins any sort of combat, his emotes are audible and play together with his animations. However, when he DOES encounter combat, whether using his Ultimate, his Q, W, or E, his emotes begin to make no sound apart from those he makes in his abilities or moving about from the right clicking cursor. I don't attempt to use any of his emotes during another dialogue he uses during an ability or commanded movement, because normally for any champion any dialogue being used will play out over any other emote forced until it finishes. When combat finishes up, whether after a gank, fight with the dragon, a massive teamfight, etc., Sion's emotes remain muted until a certain point during the game when he is not fighting. I haven't been able to determine when they begin working again, but the closest evidence that I know of is when he is completely out of combat.

I'm not 100% sure if others have also experienced these minor hiccups with Sion during a game, but as for myself these bugs have been around for AWHILE since he was released again on the main client for League of Legends. When I noticed them, I figured they were noticeable enough to be found by those responsible for fixing up these things when he came out, but its been months since the red curtain was pulled away. I took a long break from League of Legends for some time, and when I came back, I saw these little issues were STILL not fixed. I'm not angry with anyone for not potentially seeing these issues, but I felt led upon playing him again today and seeing these small bugs which seem easy to fix (maybe) not resolved yet, so I sought to write this up for my voice to be heard hopefully.

I really do enjoy playing Sion in his reworked form, and I look to playing him more in the future, but these bugs I've noticed and put up with are in need of some fixing if I say so. I hope with what I've provided will be enough to help solve these issues, and help round out Sion from striking a pose during Ravenous Hydra, or getting gagged during combat from using his limb tearing lines.

Thanks and hope this gets out there!
