Sion is as worthless as his ult

Riot ruined sion, he used to be this chunky caster or an unkillable demon with his ult, now he's a vegetable and let me list some reasons.

Q is impossible to hit, anyone with a brain can walk out.
Passive is the worst one in the whole game, anyone with a slow can escape and death surge does nothing.
Bullshit shield, sion can die quickly to any carry unless he builds full tank, and is easy to kite.
Bullshit ult, anyone can dodge it and it does no real damage. Riot, i know you're busy sticking your head up your ass and nerfing talon, but please either remove sion, bring back the old one, or give him a new kit.

Riot ruined sion,

Implying there was anything to ruin in the first place.

Sion's been in the bottom 15% win rates for years. He's also had the lowest pick rate in challenger tier pretty much ever since challenger tier was a thing. Prior to his rework, he was objectively the worst champion in the game. Sure he could work if you exploited his windows of power, but those windows were pretty small.

He needed a rework worse than pretty much any other champion in the game, and he had no small shortage of issues. Bucket feet, questionable icons, half of his kit being useless for each path, being either a glass-cannon that looks like a tank, or an axe-wielder that's pure magic damage.

Sion is a notably better champion now he's been reworked.

If you stand there and try to full cast it every time, yes, they will. Did you realize you could proc it early for decent damage?

Passive is the worst one in the whole game, anyone with a slow can escape and death surge does nothing.

Frozen Mallet plus Bork or Hydra, you may die during team fights, but you can still get a double kill while you're at it.

Bullshit shield, sion can die quickly to any carry unless he builds full tank, and is easy to kite.

Great for a little added tankiness, great for bonus damage if the enemy isn't smart enough to focus you, great for wave clear.

Bullshit ult, anyone can dodge it and it does no real damage.

If you ult right in front of them, of course. Then again you could use the map to guide you and either nail the enemy team head on or (And this is a super secret secret about his ult.) Hit R again when you're right on top of them to make him stop and do his damage right there.

I agree with all of those things, but I've still seen people play him well when building damage. shrug

Uhm, did you notice that you have a 40-60% slow? If the enemy laner has used his/her escapes or cc's you can easily hit a full q. Trust me.

That's why you buy frozen gauntlet! Also, the point of this passive is not "get killed, get a kill."

Bullshit shield, sion can die quickly to any carry unless he builds full tank, and is easy to kite.

You possibly cant farm if you are stating this.

Bullshit ult, anyone can dodge it and it does no real damage.

If you try to drift with sion's ult, it probably won't work. But it's nice if you ult a lane, and if you steer well you will hit an enemy.

please either remove sion, bring back the old one, or give him a new kit.

I played the old Sion, and i'm honest if i say it was a piece of shit compared to the new one. I know, you are one of the old sion players who can't stand change, but please, just try the new sion out more than one time. It's a really nice champion.
