Well Riot what you can try to make sion playable is take away his mana and make him more ad reliant. So ad sion is better than ap sion and nerf his ap scaling and make it really bad so people cant go ap sion any more and make him ad sion only. If that would be dont then sion would just be a weaker version of riven because u could just go damage.
RiotZenonTheStoic2 votesYep, that's what we're doing! We're also giving him all new abilities because, to be frank, "click and dude and he gets stunned" isn't the most exciting thing in the world.
Morningbell2 votesI'm sure you can't really talk at length, but are there ANY aspects of the kit you plan on keeping? Will he still have a stun, a shield, lifesteal, or a toggle (man I really like toggles)?
Also, will there be any trace of the Ahnold personality left?
KSHarrison1 votesHey Zenon, if you get time, I'd be super flattered if you took a gander at my thread here. I spent a lot of time on it and don't imagine it's perfect or anything, but it'd be cool to have some directional feedback since it seems to have died a bit :/
Danke? Haha I hope you're German! :P Studying in Heidelberg now. Been good weather in May so far
Garentheon1 votesI know you don't have t go into but can you tell us your personal opinion on the new look
Jingerbeardman1 votesI dunno... All new abilities? Will he actually feel like Sion anymore or just look like him. Not actually complaining as his current kit is extremely flat in terms of interesting interactions. The issue is that it has been around for such a long time that any big changes are likely not going to go over very well with his playerbase.
I am rather surprised that this rework is so incredibly hush hush as well for that very reason. With how some of the reworks have been accepted I would think that getting it right would be important this time around. Only getting feedback from your internal resources (which I imagine is more than just fellow Riot employees) with regard to potential changes has not had the best track record. It is about time some light gets shed on Sions progress so that his players can be ready for what is to come. Otherwise the likelyhood they will rise up in revolt is going to be pretty high if it gets sprung on them without warning.
Spellvamp Garen1 votesCan we also get more Arnold movie quotes for voice-overs? That would be great!
DomNova1 votesWell thanks for an answer im looking forward to the new sion. But you guys may have to update his normal skin as it doesnt fit the splash art at all xD

KingSmizzy1 votesI'm excited for a sion rework. He was the first EVER champion i played. around two years ago in that internet cafe with my friends finally getting around to playing the game i'd heard so much about. Clicked on that weird zombie axe guy and didnt get a single cs, dying to tower, going way to far out without vision... good times, never played him again
