Hey Riot, how come people can just walk through Sion when he's charging his Q?

Just curious since the ability basically has three forms of counterplay. Not that counterplay is bad, but it's just kinda dumb to charge up the Q and have my opponent literally walk through me.

Sion's a zombie, not a ghost.

you know when he raises his arms into the air, charging up that swing? do a barrel roll right under his legs for max counterplay

So you recommend that Sion becomes the Troll Pillar?

I also approve of this.

While this is probably 50% joke, this would be really cool. "While Sion is charging up his Decimating Smash, Sion acts as impassable terrain."

That feeling when you can wallop the front line to get to the backline. As a riven main I approve this change.

Just like your mum, he can't keep those legs closed kappa

No amount of summoner 7 is gonna save you from that summoner 14 .

Very valid question

That's a good question.

Also, sometimes it slows even if you charged up long enough.

umm the ability has one of the highest base damages and scaling in the game and has some ridiculous multi cc attached to it. it already does 300+ Damage iwthout building any ad. you're supposed to E them or a minion to get a slow then Q them. or ult. then Q.

Ok? It already has two very acceptable forms of counterplay. Why does Sion need to be incorporeal?

Sion isn't exactly a zombie

Because the Q hitbox goes behind you ;)

because it has a 100% total ad ratio thats why. it chunks for a ton.

If you get caught it in. It's easy to avoid unless he's bush Sion.

grug1 votes

its not easy to avoid unless you have a non-targeted gap closer.

my understanding is that sion is a combo champ

you combo him roar -> smash+ furnace at the same time, the full rotation shoul chunk at least 40+ % in the early game. 40% slow is enough time to set up the full rotation.

  1. There is a reply button. I'm using thread view rather than post time view.

  2. You're correct about the gap closer, but those don't feel hard to come by in top and it certainly isn't enough to get 3 seconds. Plus making him not walk throughable when charging his Q wouldn't really change that counterplay as odds are you wouldn't be able to walk through him fast enough if he slowed you anyway.

You can't even see the Q limit thingy if Sion does it inside a bush and you have no vision of him.

Well yeah, but the same can be said for pretty much anyone not named Aurelion Sol.

Well apparently, despite of this "League Hack", I don't see anybody playing him at all, so it's fine.

You think that's bad? If you dash right at Shen as he's dashing at you, you can pass right through him and dodge the E.

I've had a Fiora, a Riven, and a Yasuo do this to me. It's not even fair.

I didn't know this was a thing O.o and it shouldn't be a thing, it's supposed to be a zoning ability but completely supressing champion pathing kind of sucks

Can't most champs basically walk through eachother all of the time? What I mean is does Sion really noticeably body block enemies in the first place?

I really don't know, and it's not really a thing you get to see much in games. Like how often are you that close to an enemy when there's things like attack range and instant turning?

I wish, then I could actually not have Singed smother me with his gas.
