I think I have fallen in love with Sion.

I absolutely love eveything about him. The hypertankyness, the decent harass with e, the AoE Q, the shield, the feeling of running at full speed to enemies roaring powerfully and then proceed to slaughter them, the resurrection mechanic, the capability of tanking turrets without effort while my team destroys them, being able to sacrifice a HP item for a ZZ rot because of W's passive,etc. Holy, i wish I had started playing him before.

The longer you play him you will realize his W passive is a chore.

not if you're jungle sion then you go red with q and a leashe w and head for raptors and krug for a pretty decent boost in hp

If you start with W, a full clear nets you over 90 health.

It's not that much of a bother, he's viable as a support right now and his waveclear is fine. I just don't like that it means he's squishy as balls early game.

In a bad way or in a good way?

it's true

but that is because he has piss poor base stats

the passive could be better too, it's nice to dance and all but id like an actual passive at some point

Indeed, its a noob trap because people dont realize the majority of games is just trying to catch up to the base HPs of other frontliners.

All the noobs see is "wow I have like 500 extra HP! Im super tank!"

Meanwhile it took him a little over half the game just to fucking catch up with Darius and at that point the winner is decided anyways.

If Sion can actually last hit, he should pass any champion in health by level 4. His base health at level 1 is pretty decent, it's just his health growth that is crappy. However, ~30 health from W each level puts him equal with Alistar, who has the highest HP growth in the game. That's 10 minions plus a cannon/large monster/kill/assist. By level 10, he can easily have enough bonus health to make up the difference between his own health at level 18 and the average champion health at 18.

Sion is hate, Sion is death. (play on love, life).

Seriously though, I agree. His whole kit thematically comes together wonderfully to feel like that awesome pain train juggernaut who's sole purpose is to bring death and destruction, unsatiated rage. There was one game (I am a bronze scrub) we faced off against a sion jungle that needless to say we sucked at shutting down. He was pushing 6k hp at the end of the game and smashing us like nobody's business. He went where he pleased. It was terrifying to behold. I've been slowly practicing him in my free win bot games for the off chance I get pulled into a non support position. When I play him, I almost get sucked into his persona, where I like angry rage play, but in a happy giddy sort of way (if that makes sense).

Glory ln Death1 votes

You don't have to wait for a non-support position - Support Sion is just as, if not more, fun!

Sion is best tank.

I just wish his hp scaling had a chance to hyperscale like theoretical chogath.

As it stands his HP gain went from something to look forward to come late game (pre rework sion) into something you use just to catch up to the base hp of everything else, and maybe get a hundred or so extra ahead of them (post rework sion).

Considering that the average base health at level 18 is around 2000 - 2100, and Sion's is 1784, you can easily pass that. Many tanks have below that average, as well, and you should have the 300 bonus health to pass that by level 10 (unless you're support).

Doesnt take into account sion has an ass lane phase against anything other than another tank.

#1 That's champion.gg which was already highly discredited by Riot #2 That shows nothing about lane phase, it's general win rate which doesnt take into account many factors

lol

Glory ln Death1 votes

Sion's early game is pretty dang strong. The only champions he has real issues with in lane are ranged auto attackers like Gnar. He does really well against other tanks and most mages, and anything else is more or less a skill match-up.

Pro tip: You need at least 20 HP from W per level just to match the base HP of other tanks

Two assists per level?

No problem.

First off: unnecessary aggression. Everything alright?

Second, I get the feeling that a lot of people would do that, so I don't know who you're trying to insult here.

I only played Yasuo 3 or 4 times to learn to counter him, have no idea of how to use Lee since I hardly ever go jungler and I don't like Riven lol.

Wait until you meet Quinn Riven and similar champions with 0.1s CC on their abilities. You will literally pull your hair off

Let's look where i said something about laning or destroying... hmm... damn.

Glory ln Death2 votes

Your comment suggests Sion has a hard time against those champions. Not really sure what else you were trying to say there.

Verdade1 votes

He doesn't have hard time, it's just extremely annoying as Riven for example has mutiple AOE CCs in her kit, so she doesn't even have to target Sion and she will interrupt his Qs, which is extremely irritating. For Quinn, she might not kill him (or kill him quickly), but she's very mobile and if she saves her Vault for your Q you can't really reach her... like, ever

Glory ln Death1 votes

It's just a matter of learning when to Q and to not be set on getting the knock-up every time. Even if you don't get the knock-up, it deals pretty decent damage. The reduced cooldown if it does get interrupted let's you bait them into engaging on you, as well.

Especially for Riven, she tends to be very aggressive - bait her into engaging through your minions, take the stun or knock-back, E her, then get a real Q off. Walk up, get a few autos in, and let your minions do work.

Quinn is a bit more annoying, since her vault puts her outside melee range, but it's still very easy to bait her into an engage.
