And surprisingly, no, the problem is not mainly his HP. It's his base armor. It sucks, flat out, compared to what he needs to prioritize to be effective: health. Some scaling armor buffs would go a long way for Sion, since Cho'gath just took his place as the infinitely stacking HP tank. FFS when even Shen has better scaling armor, you know there's a major issue.
>Tl;dr: Read the fucking post it's a paragraph.
Ralanr1 votesThere's one problem with giving him such buffs, it would make his support laning incredibly oppressive.
Sion support is really powerful and is probably held back by his poor stats. He needs to snowball his lane or he's not going to be helpful. Giving him better stats per level could remove this weakness, and trying to solve that problem could hurt his top lane and force him into support.
Imo you would need to nerf his support laning (which still has a small playsize) to improve his top laning. Though I can only see them nerfing his E, which is actually very important to his top lane as well.
Big Lincoln1 voteshe needs to have less counterplay if he doesn't want to get walked on top lane
Ralanr1 votesRemoving people walking through him when he's charging his Q is all he needs imo.
Síon1 votesHe will definitely get some attention when the tank rework is announced. I've only played lethality/tank hybrid on him. couldn't go full tank after 1shoting adcs from bush, so I hope they won't remove this playstyle with the update.
Honestly I'd rather hope he wouldn't be changed, even if he gets buffed but makes lethality-tanky sion unplayable.
