Will Sion get any touchups for the "Tank" update?

Just a little boost to his base armor or health pool would do him wonders in the jungle without making him overbearing in top lane.

With health stacking being much harder with the new items I actually think its already an indirect buff to Sion. He's already very strong top lane and support, I'd be worried he'd be way overtuned if they tried to give him additional base stats for jungling.

Carefull with that! The new Tank Items will have a major impact on every Tank - and especially Sion with his additional Health might have one of the best scalings with said items.

I think they mostly see him as a top laner, though if they increased the damage from either his Q or E to jungle monsters that'd help a lot without breaking him in other positions.

isnt sion listed as a juggernaut ?

EndlessSorcerer3 votes

His champion title is Juggernaut, but his actual class is vanguard (which is a subclass of tank).

oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votes

so juggernauts are tanks ?

BeatzBoyFTW1 votes

Just durable tanky champions accompanied with the lack of CC, like Darius & Garen.

but is sion a juggernaut or a tank ?

BeatzBoyFTW2 votes

"Tank" is just a generalized word to summarize all tank champions.

Sion is considered a "Vanguard", a type of tank who dives into enemy team to be the first to initiate teamfights whilst assisting his teammates to follow-up.

hmm but dr mundo isnt a tank ?

BeatzBoyFTW2 votes

He doesn't provide a ton of CC, aside his Q, to be even considered a true Tank. Partly Tank sure, but not a true Tank.

Dr. Mundo is just highly durable due to his ult, while being able to deal some significant damage to an individual, therefore considered a Juggernaut.

he scales with HP just as SION sions only real form of cc is his Q as well

to me they are one in the same

both HP TANKS

BeatzBoyFTW3 votes

Sion has Q, E & ult to provide CC with (and everyone of them is AoE). Dr Mundo only has Q (which only affects 1 champion at a time).

Sion has an ult which charges into teamfights for a heavy CC-chain combo if executed properly. Dr Mundo is just this one annoying fat brat who pops ult & runs around poking each enemy champions with his W that scales with AP for some reason. At least Sion's W deals %HP damage while being more sustainable with it provide that he has a good amount of CS to build up HP with.

he's already overbearing everywhere lol. one of the most overtuned champs in the game right now, he doesn't need more beef.

oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votes

why would you increase the HP an the armor on a champ that gets free hp all game for csing and builds armor and hp as well ?

Ralanr1 votes

Because he has low base HP and armor to other champions that are tanks and needs to play catchup.

oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votes

does sion not gain hp all game from csing ? and champ kills? plus dont he scale hp per lvl ? and dont he buy hp items ? and if he is getting hp items dont he also get armor items combined with the hp?

Sorry I lost the train of thought here.

but sion isnt a tank ? he is a juggernaut ?

The only person who said Sion isn't a tank is you. Which is wrong. Sion is a tank.

EndlessSorcerer (NA) - about 6 hours ago His champion title is Juggernaut, but his actual class is vanguard (which is a subclass of tank).

Ralanr1 votes

Title doesn't really mean anything gameplay wise. Nasus is the "Curator of the Sands" but all he really does is farm his Q up.

Class and subclasses are different. It's not like the only way you can be a tank is if you have "Tank" in your title. That's not the case with anyone and Sion is no exception.

Of course I think you already know this and are just fucking with me because you're bored.

wasnt sion part of the juggernaut update?

Ralanr1 votes

....No. That was a full season before the juggernaut update.

  1. They've already said they're only updating three champions.
  2. Sion doesn't need help lol.

IIRC, Meddler stated that Sion only gets some number adjustments to his stats, nothing as major as Sejuani, Maokai & Zac's update.

Sion is like the epitome of balance, he must never be changed for he is pure. Sion is the life of the universe. Sion is life.
