@Riot: Sion has completely replaced Mundo as "the" tank top laner

I just want to say, that I love both of these champs. Which is why I feel so bad for Mundo in his current state. Sion just overall has much more going for him.

To start, Mundo has fallen out of favor even before sion got his rework, but now it seems that sion has replaced him. When a person wanted to play Mundo, it is because of his objective control and late game damage etc. The problem is that sion can do practically everything mundo can do but better.

Next, Mundo has trash early game, because of scaling off health etc. Not until he gets the like of is he a force to be reckoned with. Sion, however, can be an early game bully while scaling just as well or better in the late game, due to his stacking health and high base damages.

Of course, Mundo is a decent peeler because of his low cd/spammable cleavers. Sion is a great body guard, that can effectively zone off people (in fear of e+q combo, or an ult out of nowhere) by just getting close enough to them, scaring them away from your carries. Not to mention that Sion's model is actually larger than average.

Lastly, the objective control that Mundo provides in Dragon and Baron lies in the current hp % damage in his cleavers (25 %), and his E steroid (over 100 ad). The problem is that Sion's kit can still make him just as good at this. Sion's Q when charged up all the way does 300 (180% ad) damage, and his W does up to 140 (40% ap) (14% of max health) which is arguably better for dragon control, because it is max health. want to say, that I love both of these champs. Which is why I feel so bad for Mundo in his current state. Sion just overall has much more going for him.

I feel that simply buffing Mundo will not solve this problem, neither will nerfing Sion. Mundo just needs a flatout rework to maintain his own style, instead of competing with Sion for the same niche.
