is it just me, or does Sion die faster in passive now?

I built full tank, and I was going down much faster in my death passive then I was pre-patch. Rito at work again?

Tank is much worse. While standing still there is almost no noticable difference between a tanky Sion and a glass cannon Sion. Tank Sion dies unbelievably fast due to his terrible lifesteal/dmg and the pathetic chasing required to hit someone. The window for his passive is so small that any CC negates the passive entirely and if he does get in range of a target only ad Sion can lifesteal enough to survive long enough to do any damage. Bottom line, I tried tank Sion and his passive was about as useful as a popsicle stick in a gun fight.

To better answer this question. Where you auto attacking or not auto attacking with this tank build?

Bit of both, as I died several times. In general... my HP decreased much more rapidly with the same build I had previously, even just when attempting to chase after death.

You sure you don't mean after the patch went up?

It's not just you. I just played a game as Sion and I decayed in about 2 seconds from when it would usually be like 3-5 beforehand, and I was building tanky. Maybe the values are just a bit high?

You do, until you have roughly 5,500 - 6,000 health.

Charles Barklius crunched the numbers, seems like he actually does die faster. I have no idea why.

Damn.... how can Riot keep screwing easy stuff like this up? It's good he has more HP now off kills and levels from soul furnace, but his passive which was already pretty useless, becomes even more useless. Since he becomes a mindless zombie on death, he should be immune to CC. Like.... honestly, if everyone auto attacks him anyway he dies within seconds, so I don't see the big deal. He JUST might be able to re-enact revenge, but he sure as hell isn't going to pull a Karthus and score a possible Pentakill.
