Question to Sion mains

Photos of Ghosts·Oct 12, 2015·1 votes·635 views

When you win lane and get fed, do you ever actually feel like an unstoppable monster? He's fun to play and very useful to the team, but I've never felt like he really hits that hard even if fed.

I wouldn't say I'm a Sion main, but I have played him pretty extensively when he was good. His unstoppable-ness doesn't come till late game when he's so damn tanky with such a big health pool it takes at least a 5 man focus for a full minute to bring him down. Also for him to really hurt you have to start off with E then follow up with your other abilities, the armor shred really helps. He doesn't do a lot to other bruisers and tanks, but a full combo against a squishy is guaranteed dead.

Get AD. Lots and lots of AD and max Q first. A fully charged one combined with the armor shred from e + the shield blast usually kills everything squishy - especially if you hit them with the ult first. If target not dead, activate titanic hydra and squash them.

I've never been a fan of tank Sion. He usually generates a lot of passive tank stats as is. Build him like you would Darius, or even go further.

I usually go for BC unless I'm really behind, but I then go for titanic - I don't really like ravenous and find titanic to synergize well with his HP stacking. Should I then take Maw, BT, stuff like that?

Maw is core on him, since the passive scales even in your dead form. I usually don't build life steal on him. Think LCS Olaf.

Well I always build 1-2 damage items as Sion, preferably item 3071 and item 3748 , which makes it harder to just ignore me, since I actually get to deal consistent AoE damage and armor shred.

It depends on your definition of an unstoppable monster.

I thoroughly enjoy playing Sion. The reason being is that if im doing well, the combo's he can land and the CC he can deliver is just so boss that I genuinely feel like an unstoppable monster at times. Landing a perfect ult on some key enemies and then following it up with W detonate and more cc is truly feels like im just demolishing everyone lol. Is sion immortal? No. But that just leads to more fun due to his passive.

I cant tell you how many times I've run down some guy who thought he got away with 10% health. lol I just get the feeling that the player is just thinking "...Oh god no." and really cant do much about it unless he s got a dash or flash or some other trick up their sleeve.

Also all the times the enemy team initiates on mine and I ult, usually disrupting their focus trying to determine which why im coming from lol, and then landing it on several of them, completely turning the fight over to us.

He's just so damn fun.
