Sion's getting a new skin

And that's great! He hasn't had one in 4 years.

But since he's getting a $15 skin, can we at least buff some things about him to make him a bit more viable now?

  • W - Make the Shield boomable after 2 seconds again.

  • W - Make the cooldown begin after activating, rather than when the shield expires (Like every other champion with a shield).

For some reason Riot doesn't want him to have his W boom after 2 seconds...

The logic to that change is that Sion would be able to both soak up any damage in a trade, AND do a crap ton of damage right before the enemy popped it by detonating it first. Keep in mind it also used to do 10% max health damage at all levels instead of 6-10% like it does now. The problem with Riot's way of nerfing a champion is that they don't hit what the problem is and then leave it at that. They nerf everything AROUND the problem, beat around the bush on it, and then when they finally hit the thing that matters most in making the champ broken, the other nerfs to the things that weren't broken are way too crippling. It's a vicious cycle. Just look at what they're doing to Udyr on PBE right now

I kinda get why the change is there, but I don't know why they actually decided to nerf him like that considering it FUCKS his jungle potential summoner 31

Riot's no stranger to nerfing things without regard for it's other roles. Remember Devourer Kayle? They took 5 AD from her. 5 whole AD. That is such a blanket nerf it's not even funny. That affected her last hitting, her ability to trade in lane. It was a horribly contrived nerf, and other options should have been looked into (like NOT making Sated Devourer a thing)
