As demonstrated in LCS, his super high soloQ win rate, can we please talk about a possible balance?

With the recent Q buff which was not needed, he is to strong building 100% tank.

  • Super insase base damage
  • Super survivability
  • Can cheat level 1 by dying and coming into lane with TP
  • Crazy amount of CC, getting hit by E and than cant be dodge by Q and being knocked up.

Yea, he needs to be touched a little.

Sion is fine. Why do people constantly ask for nerfs to any champion who is actually good at what he is supposed to do?

Lol I love how this thread pops up only after he's played in LCS.

Just weeks ago, I was replying to threads left and right trying to convince people that Sion wasn't bad, and now here we are.

For the record, this recent change to Q and E is a nerf to top lane Sion, buff to jungle Sion, and large nerf to support Sion (my fav T~T).
If you are having trouble escaping an E+Q combo, you are probably walking up to Sion like he's an oversized minion or something. Rethink your positioning.

EDIT: WTF PATCH 5.6. INSANE NERF TO ALL SIONS

are you kidding me riot 20% damage reduced on E. and 10% reduced damage on Q for jg

...You do realize the Q 'buff' was crap, right? Sion doesn't use Q often in lane due to it's unreliability, and the mana cost increase on E was a nerf to him (since he heavily relies on E in lane).

I played a rank game against him, where they had around 3 tanks/fighters (Sion, Leona, Rek'sai) with assassin (Zed) and adc (Trist). We had 1 fighter (Jax), an assassin (Nidalee), two mages (Ahri and Annie) and Adc (Sivir). And won.

My point being the only tanky people on our team was Jax and Annie, (Emphasis on Annie) so you know what we did? We ignored the tanks. We used mobility to avoid all of Sion's cc, catching the enemies damage dealers and win. Despite what people believe mobility isn't as easily countered by tanks, especially Sion, who you can see all of his cc.

Play smart, not harder. Sion is fine where he is.
