Sion rework ideas.

So, there's this champion named Sion who I don't think many people play now and I remember that Riot said that they had issues with reworking him because he was this undead ax-wielding fighter guy that everyone builds AP because his AP ratios are so high and he could go AD because of his damage buff e and attack speed and lifesteal on his r. I sorta want to propose an idea that I thought about a little while ago, at least to just throw it out there, if not maybe stimulate more Sion attention:

Q: Stuns and does magic damage, same old same old.

-Pretty much this spell is simple utility, like Taric stun.

W: Sion shields himself for AP+HP, but gains movement speed when running towards champions. Sion can detonate the shield for AP+HP damage. The longer he keeps the shield up while moving, the bigger the damage and area of the explosion. Also an indicator to show the are of the explosion.

-This is the skill that makes up for most of AP sion's damage. It's not as strong now because the AP ratios were nerfed and everyone can dash away from Sion easily nowadays, but I think having an increase in area and damage the longer he keeps it up would give players a benefit to detonate it at the last second and increased movement speed towards champions to help him keep up with all the super mobile champs we have nowadays. Also, HP scaling for damage and shield would help the AD Sions due to his HP gaining passive on the e.

E: Sion empowers his weapon to make his auto attacks stronger. Any extra AD deals bonus physical damage and any AP deals bonus magic damage. Also passive HP gain on kills.

-I'm not a numbers guy, but I think giving Sion some AP scaling on his e will give AP Sion players a reason to get his e and AD Sions max this out anyways to gain more HP from farming, so it benefits both AP and AD Sion players. Also gives AP Sion more to do than just stun, blow up shield, and run away.

R: Attack speed and lifesteal while giving teammates around him HP for the damage he does.

-With an AP scaling on his e, I think it would help for AP Sion players while again benefiting AD Sion players.

Again, this is just an idea that I thought of that might help out the whole debate with if Sion is AP or AD and maybe help with the theme of undead ax-wielding guy. His lore was him being a human battering ram, to charge in and then take on anyone in his way, so I figured maybe just a few changes to his abilities could help fix that without completely changing all of his abilities.
