Sion suggestion

Edit: gotta love those ninja downvoters

I bet it was mentioned at least once before, but what if Sion used HEALTH instead of MANA to cast spells He gains health permamantly from his Soul Furnace passive [W] and in mid lategame he's the most beefiest champion.

Warning: I'm bad with number balancing, so take this only as badly made example!

What I'm proposing is:

  • All of skills cost % of current hp (lets say 5%, which can increase to 10% at maxed ranks)
  • His hp/5 needs to be increased
  • 1 of his skills also slightly heals him when he damages units (like for every enemy minion hit by his shield Sion regains x% hp. Doubled for enemy champions)
  • or if % of current HP fails, maybe some flat amount? Or hybrid between fixed & % of current hp? That could help in in lane while not making him into total unkillable monster

That also would work with undead warrior theme.

Reason why i believe HP > Mana for casting spells as sion is: he has terrible mana regen. He's almost dry after using his 3 skills at once. Also he gains health passively, so it could be used.

What'cha think?

No :v We have too much manaless champ right now, Sion is in a good spot and the high mana costs gate how much can he the really strong kit he's equipped with. Personally, the change it's not necessary

But that doesn't make any sense... I don't want him to turn into resourceless champion And being manaless isn't bad. We already hve like 80 mana based champions

He'll just have to take care of his health.

And for me, player who really enjoys spamming skills, his mana costs are sadly high. If you made Sion abilities work on HP fuel, then he could spam them more often BUT he'll be easier to kill (as he will be losing health to spam skills). That's solid counter

Give him a crystal flask if you take him in lane.

Sion's abilities are VERY strong, giving them no mana cost, no matter how high the health cost, would make him too strong.

There will be times when Sion gets a poor match-up where he is too easy to being poked at just for wanting to cs, like going against a Vayne or Riven. Then with these type of HP ability costs, you're doing nothing but making Sion getting a desperate & pitiful early game start. Sion tbh is fine right now, only that Sion players should be smart on knowing when to and when not to use/spam his abilities to prevent being oom easily.

Even Aatrox uses his own %hp for abilities cost, and look where he is now.....
