If I find a new favorite champ, does that mean nerfs incoming?

Sion

Lately, I've been discovering the true power of this guy. He really has it all. A lot of it comes from E -- I love this skill so much, but I'm not certain it will be allowed to continue in its current state. With 0 AP, rank 5 E does up to 315 damage and applies a slow every 5 seconds at max cdr. At a seemingly longer range than Ziggs' bombs. For only 35 mana. It's free.

item 3110 Top Lane? You have amazing initiation, and you will become a supertank. Your 25% armor shred on E is also great for killing that first enemy player. E + Black Cleaver = 45% armor shred max. If your ADC is following you up properly, it is a tremendous damage boost to your primary target. You will also be nigh immortal. With max CDR, tankiness, and your bonus life from W, your shield will be an extraordinary force to be reckoned with. Typically you will either max R,E,W,Q, or R,W,E,Q depending on how tanky you need to be early.

item 3020 Mid Lane? Go AD runes with CDR. Max R,E,Q,W (though sometimes you want a couple extra points in W if you need the extra shield). Melt mid lane and roam. Most mid-laners are completely powerless against Sion. Since you are AD, your Q, ult, and AA's are naturally powerful. However, the real threat is your harass with E. As previously stated, it outranges everything, has a low-ish cooldown, and only costs 35 mana. Once you push your opponent out of lane, you roam with ult/teleport. This strat is ruthless.

item 3401 Support? You have amazing harass with E, just like mid lane. You also can peel and initiate for days with Q and R. You max R,E,W,Q. The only danger here is shoving lane, but it should not be too hard because you can keep your opponents zoned out of XP range. Stand between their caster minions and the melee, then when you play minion bowling, you don't push lane hard and you do some serious damage. Your jungler will love ganking this lane since your shield can even take a couple turret hits once you level it up.

item 3714 Jungle? You have possibly the best first clear of any jungle. I tend to start gromp. With a semi-decent leash, you can take W first for the 10 extra life. Then you will max R,Q,W,E. You can easily clear the full jungle without chugging a potion, though I still recommend using one while clearing blue just to make sure your life is high enough to survive a gank.

item 3031 ADC? You cannot adc. Sorry! But you could probably have a really fun kill lane with the right partner (yasuo comes to mind).

The opinions expressed in this post are those of a silver player. Sue me.
