What can Sion even do late game.

Scrimshäw·Jul 13, 2015·1 votes·782 views

Every god damn game I play Sion jungle, and the game has been going on for about 50 minutes, I cannot. Do. A. Single. Thing. My W passive is giving me about 1300 health, I have about 6000 total health at that point. Cinderhulk. Warmog's. Mercs. Thornmail. Spirit Visage. Righteous Glory. I soak up every bit of fucking damage, but I always end up losing the game. Sion has a completely useless late game. Knock 3 people up with Q, and nothing can be done about it. He needs SOME form of self reliance. His early game jungle is so difficult thanks to the shield nerf, he needs something for late game.

Sion? Useless late game? Pleeeease.

I've always felt fully 100% confident that I can fight 3 enemies end-game alone without assistance through innate tankiness and %damage from the shields explosion, along with enough CC to guarentee that they can't run, nor disengage once i've locked them down. Sion is all about finding a target, locking them into running away from you or brawling against you, and inevitably winning due to your higher health/tankiness and CC.

This at least goes for top-lane Sion. That is an end-game nightmare for the enemy team when played correctly. As far as jungle..I wouldn't go jungle with him. He can't perform as well as he needs to in comparison to a top lane, unless he gets fed/farms both his jungle + enemies jungle. There isn't enough gold to get him built properly to carry in the jungle as efficiently as he would in-lane.

He has PLENTY of self reliance. Constant, short CD CC, durable health/burst damage from his shield, along with an ultimate that cannot be CC negated nor stopped unless he impacts a solid object, AKA, he can run if he needs to. I can't say this enough though, he's not worth it jungle unless your team needs engage and CC.
