How long can this go on... without a hotfix riot?

If yasuo ever reached 52% wr with a 10% pick rate he would have been nerfed within a hour, but since its a tank we are talking about those are "allowed" to stay mindblowingly broken.

Saddens me that a lot of people start to play the champ not because they like his theme or like playing him but because they wanna join on the free elo train. Disappointing, really

Honestly same, I play Sion because he's fun, and remember that he has clear counters and such. Really easy to beat if you're smart, you can just ignore him. (I used to play him a lot when i first started playing. He's got a great theme.)

then they come here to defend and say that he is balanced and weak

I haven’t seen people claiming he’s weak.

Balanced? Sure. Too strong because of a bug, definitely. Weak? No.

Apparently his E hitbox is bigger than it should be.

And here, I thought I just sucked at dodging the projectile that hits if you are anywhere in lane.

Kidding aside, is this confirmed by others? I have always personally had a hard time judging his E hitboxes. That skill with the angle a minion might be at has always made it a harder skill shot to judge.

Meddler suggested that there was a bug and i will admit I haven’t noticed it, mainly because I don’t miss my E that often.

Though my opponents have been unable to dodge lately. So it’s probably bigger.

i HONESTLY thought they buffed the travel speed or something, 'cause before there were always times that i felt my E should've hit and it didn't. Weird,

You can actually ''curve'' it :P

it throws people off so hard lol though it's not an easy trick you need to get a feel for it

But i have noticed the hitbox is a bit more wonkey then it used to be not sure how it happened but it might have something to do with the winrate

Because the problem isn't Sion. It's Comet-Manaflow-Scorch being an overly good choice right now. Drowning out all others to the point that the best Toplaners are Camille and Sion who can use it well. And Klepto users.

by that logic, the bruiser triforce yasuo build back in season 6 was totally fine since "the problem wasn't yasuo".

please don't try to justify this shit

And? Do we nerf Sion or do we delete the entire rune system? Gee, I wonder what's the most logical one.

Or riot can increase the length of games, so that late game runes are a tiny little bit more pickable. The only reason this set up is so common is because early game is so important. If they increased the average match, people would start opting runes for late game.

Didn't downvote but we've already seen a lot of threads about Sion being strong , that's why it's getting downvoted

Sion is at 55% because people aren't adapting yet. Its really easy, and I mean really fkcing easy to shutdown a Sion pick.

Vayne bot lane would work. Trundle top or jungle would work. Anivia mid would work.

If you can pick to make a strong champion completely and utterly useless, you should. Trundle can pillar block every ult Sion does, whilst becoming the most immortal champion in the game(While building offensively) because there is a Sion for him to use his ult on.

People who complained about him when his pick rate was below 10% made threads like this, and I posted as much as I could saying to wait until his pick rate goes up. Higher pick rates will show whether or not it's just a population of players who are good at him or if he is legitimately too strong.

His pick rate went up, his win rate didn't go down, so now is the time to complain.

Alot of his counters arent exactly up to par and was nerfed due to some toxic aspect of their kit TrundleCamille Gnar Illaoi Pantheon Olaf Lulu

It took them 9 patches to fix the stupid ardent censer meta crap and 57% winrate janna from last season so yeah.

ITS BECAUSE THEY PUT THE SION SKIN WITH A TRAIN IN THE GAME THAT THEY WONT NERF IT UNTIL ENOUGH PEOPLE BUY THE SKIN SO THEY CAN PAY CHINESE INVESTORS HIGHER DIVIDENDS! IT IS ALL JUST A BUSINESS AT THIS POINT!
