I feel like Sion is absolutely TERRIBLE after this rework

So i just tried sion for the first time and I found out that he really does extremely low damage, his main damage source Q is extremely hard to hit and his ult is so hard to control its probably the hardest ult to land in this game. Even with his full combo he does not do much damage compared to other champions and even though i was 2/0 early game i still had a lot of trouble handling my lane against a singed. His ability to tank may be good because of his passive but ultimately if i wanted a extreme tank i would have picked nautilus over him or my favorite choice of nasus the ultimate damage + tank king. Am I just playing him poorly or is he just bad?

Tbh I just played a ranked game with him imo you should take him to the jungle cuz thats what I did and i did very well only died once i believe and I didnt build damage get early Sunfire and u shall be good to go, and dont really bother getting dmg unless ur team lacks AD dmg, you should just build straight health and armor and MR when needed

hes ok top but he really shines in the jungle. the camps allow you to farm your w passive and your lane ganks and initiations after 6 are godlike since his ult stuns the enemies long enough for you to follow up with a fully charged q. he actually does pretty impressive dmg considering i build him full tank (have been able to half most enemies if i can land combo) and if i cant land dmg my cc allows for laners to follow up. thats my recommendation, take him to the jungle and be a menace late game

The trick is to build Crit on him.

The thing is, he's not meant to do damage anymore. People need to get off that mindset. He is now first and foremost a tank. No other champion has his sheer engaging potential, nor his ability to follow up that engage.

He's even worse than he was before somehow
