The role sion plays in late game team fights is so fucking boring

The Ult buff didn't change the fact that you're never going to be landing a maximum range ultimate when everyone has insane amounts of out of combat movement speed.

That being said, his role in late game team fights has become so stale i'm starting to lose my mind.

The only way to make use of sion's kit late game is to literally walk into 3 people, have your W shield popped in 2 autos, pop stoneplate, pop locket, and die immediately after. That's it. That's his** ENTIRE** purpose late game.

The whole "people need to invest CC into Sion to cancel his Q" is a myth. CC at later stages of the game are being thrown in every direction on low CD, you just so happen to get caught in cc that was meant for someone else on your team because of your big ass character model, mobility is at an all time high. There is no reward to landing a Q late game.

Gragas just presses E in your general direction with no effort, stun locks people for free. Rakan is able to engage AND escape if he fails (thats just because the support role is braindead so its whatever)

Why can't sion be rewarded for landing a telagraphed ability? Sion is balanced around omega low elo (gold 5 and below) where he thrives against actual morons.

I feel if you're going for the stoneplate + locket synergy you're having faith in your team to carry. Maybe try playing more for yourself.

We all know Sion with his Q on cooldown is mostly just a meat wall and it's hard to land in team fights at times. That's why I think the best builds for Sion are actually juggernaut builds where he can be more of a threat.

Also I've stopped taking the game seriously since season 6. When Riot actually makes this game competitive again than I'll probably play more ranked. Ardent, 10 minute games, marksmen, useless towers, etc. Hopefully this next season changes this...

I mean if you boil it down many champs late game is boring.

As a karthus you just walking into the enemy team die and press R.

As a blitz you keep pressing Q till you can press E+R

You can literally describe any champ's teamfighting like that.
