Sion's health scaling on W

Just a note for Sion players out there, don't look at his W passive and think that you're going to have massively more max health than other tanks in an average length game. That's because Sion's health per level gained is much lower than an average tank, on par with Shen and Mordekaiser .

In medium to short games his W passive tends to only give you that extra ~500 health you need to go from shitty Mordekaiser -tier base health up to around Darius -tier. In longer games you'll get maybe an extra health crystal worth of free stats, or about a 400 gold advantage. In very long games of course things can get crazy but you're still not really going to be dominating those 60+ minute games in the way that Veigar does, and those games are few and far between.

You still need to build plenty of bonus health from items, I still buy item 3143 over item 3110 most games. Don't expect to be doing tons of damage with item 3748 , although its still a decent item on him because of the split pushing and the active burst it gives you against squishies.

I mean, I usually average high 4k's - low 5k health when I play Sion. Anyone who can farm and knows how to manage a lane (as well as buying health items) can do that as Sion and always be the last one to survive a teamfight (unless there's a Vayne )

Yeah, you should buy at least a few health items on Sion.

Especially now that you don't get free hp from resolve.

Meh it's kinda dumb imo.

Unlike veigar/nasus poor sion doesn't really get an inf scaling passive, he just gets a scale to keep up passive.

Thresh on the other hand I wouldn't add for inf scalers atm cause he needs a mini-rework to just normalize his armor and move his E passive to be his main passive. LW screws him over far too hard.

I miss old AD sion, getting 3k HP without any of this lower hp/level bullshit.
