So I just want to throw this out there and see if I am the only one struggling to wrap my head around sion... Specifically late game...

So hes a super tank cool... but his base HP kinda sucks so you need to farm cs to try to correct it... You need damage to be a bruiser and to supplement the passive for the team fights its great to be that fast with 100% life steal and clobber people... But his abilities are AP based....

So my question is how are people working around this or did riot just shine up an old turd that feels like it has more synergy but in reality is still a mess...

On the plus side he is a blast to play!

His hp scaling is horrible per level but his wis pretty amazing in the jungle. Wraith give you 14 hp; buffs, wolves give you 12. In fact, you will get more HP in jungle than you will in Lane. At 26 min you should have about 500+

They needed to nerf his HP. He has infinite scaling. I think they should take that away and let minion kills act like fuel for his soul furnace. He can farm minions to empower charged versions of his abilities.

Check out my thread.

Empowered E gives peel potential. Empowered W gives more damage. Empowered R lets him hit multiple champs W/O stopping so he can penetrate teamfights.

They have minor AP ratios like a lot of other champions that are AD based because they don't want them scaling.
