Soultran is a Diamond/Master (I forget which) player who pretty much one-tricks Sion in Top/Jungle/Mid/Support.

You may find his videos useful.

Never tried it, but yeah I would stress bullying their jungler by keeping wards in his jungle and Q'ing him from the bush along with a set of flat lethality runes for a stupid op Q early game.

But isn't flat AD stronger than Lethality early game...? Sion's Q's AD scales aren't bad, either.

I haven't even bought ad runes, but I'm gonna have to say heck no they aren't better. It would pretty much be about the same I guess but that 24 lethality and 6 attack damage runes + lethality and ferocity masteries(3% increased damage) makes for a sion monster Q. For about 10 minutes or so you still do close to true damage with the squishes. Always get duskblade when necessary in jungle that lethality helps even more and you get actual true damage along with it.

Huh, after doing the math, Lethality is more effective at utilizing Sion's base damages than AD for his high AD scalings.

However your autos would be weaker, so a much harder jungle clear.

You'z right, I'm just a lethality fanatic and typically have it stuck in my head that its the best rune out there :p

I had a phase where I played it. It's a lot of fun, but his W passive doesn't stack really well against jungle mobs, and with new Cinderhulk changes, I dunno how good he'll be.

He's okay, he's my go to jungler if I'm forced to jungle. I build him extremely supportive though. item 3109 pretty much every game If my support doesn;t build them, I go item 3107 and item 3190 because sion is a good aura/support character.

I'm a support main though also so it's my prefered playstyle, but also feel it's one of the better ways to carry on Sion since he's not exactly a carry champion and he makes a pretty damn good peel/support character.

item 3001 is actually a decent item on him since he actually does a lot of magic damage, but I generally max Q first in the jungle personally.

Just remember he's generally best as an aura carrier. You can build damage like item 3025 and item 3748 but they really aren't all that great simply because he doesn't really auto attack a lot to proc them. He's more of a go in, try to start a fight, peel for carries kinda guy.

Also note his dragon control sucks. As in, he sucks at actually taking dragons, but his clear really isn't too bad, it's pretty healthy.

Listen up bud Sion is Viable everywhere anywhere no matter how you build him Go tank-Ad-Ap-Supp-lethality it doesn't matter as long as you hit your skills (wich gets harder the higher the elo) But no matter where you are crush the lane then crush the game (if you dont play him with thunderlord you dont deserve to live .. )

Jungle sion can have a much stronger mid game stat wise than lane sion, because you can accumulate health without being good at last hitting, and he can take on many counter junglers due to his innate beef and high base damage. From thelarger monsters of each camp alone you get 60 HP per rotation+mini monsters+lane tax.

His ganks are alright but since he lacks a gapcloser and ranged hard CC, he's more reliant on the enemy team shoving or the laner having the tools to pull it off. Post 6 however the bot lane ganks are glorious as you continue smashing your max HP up and up.
