[Vent-Post]: "Strategically Minded" Sion

League of Legends Match History

So this was the first ever time I've been on the receiving end of the "Strategically Minded Sion" (AKA Int. Sion) strategy & I gotta say, this was by far the most infuriating experience I've ever had in League of Legends. As a Sion main, I actually feel disgusted that this is something a Sion player can do (and go unpunished for no less). There's nothing fun about going up against this as there's just simply not much you can do about Sion's Siege potential thanks to his Synergy with Demolish & his [W: Soul Furnace].

#My Proposal

  • Make it so Sion cannot use Demolish during his [Passive: Glory in Death]. This will make it so Sion won't be able to inflict heavy damage to turrets even after he's been slain (he should seek glory from Killing champions, not turrets). By doing this, Sion will have to try taking Objectives but not be so careless when doing so.

  • Nerf the Demolish Rune. This is one of (if the not THE ONLY reason) this strategy exists as Sion has extremely good synergy with this rune compared to most tank champions. This rune deals 175 + 30% of your Maximum HP to turrets every 45 seconds. Reducing the percentage of the HP Scaling and/or Increasing the Cooldown of the rune should do the trick.


Your thoughts guys? I'm gonna go take some aspirin & relax for a bit.

Based on the discussions I've seen on this, this tactic can actually work if played properly, but renaming it to "strategically minded" from "inting" is also a clear indication on Riot's part about their attitude towards trolls. It is inting, only when done well it gets a better benefit for the team than the disadvantage the deaths given up create. And when done improperly and don't get that benefit it is still flat out trolling, and the player's intentions are straigth up irrelevant. (I don't include paying attention to everything that needs to go into doing this and failing, I mean just psycho charging into turrets without regarding the circumstances.)
