Resurrecting Sion's old Ult

I am one of those players that played AD Sion. I used to jungle with him. In fact, my first pentakill was with Sion.

That being said, I love his new kit. I think he will be fresh compared to his mashed up old kit where you only really care about half of his abilities depending on whether you build AD or AP.

There is one thing I will miss though... his old ult. It was his bread and butter. It was what let him 1 vs 5 enemies. It made Sion Sion. Now we have a passive that is just a faint glimmer of the ult that once was.

Here is my suggestion. With his new passive, Sion gets a bleed-out meter type of effect in place of a health bar, correct? Add this one small change:

  • For each enemy Sion kills while his passive is in effect, he regains 20% of his maximum bleed-out amount back. If Sion reaches a cumulative return of 100% bleed-out he is ressurected, converting his remaining bleedout back as health and then his passive ends with a reset cooldown.

That would be pretty cool. His current passive feels a little underwhelming as is, this could be just the thing to make it feel as solid as the rest of his kit.

no just no

if they will give sion his old ult back they will have to strip his kit of any cc so everybody will be able to kite him (thats called ballance, think about consequences ) meaning that the new sion who had to be actualy usefull will be as useless as the old one

It was what let him 1 vs 5 enemies. It made Sion Sion

it was what made his enemies stupid because sions ult is actualy weak (the old ult) executioner, banshe frozen mallet and any adc would make you look stupid

The new kit looks great but an idea came to mind about swapping his passive and ult with eachother. Changes would have to be made of course to balance it out and the abilites wouldn't be identical.

Passive: Apon death brings sion back to life for x seconds where he then charges after a single enemy and choke them in place for x seconds (acting like a snare) and possibly does a fixed amount of damage?

Ult: (This more like his current passive/prework Ult) Sion throws down his axe increasing his attack speed and life steal. He then begins fighting with his fists lasting for x seconds. Also this could possibly open a window for creating another 3 set of new abilities he can use during the duration of his ult without his axe.

I would enjoy seeing his ult give him lifesteal like the prework so he has more potential to duel like before. The passive would be nice to peel for your team if you get ambused and die.
