Sion's Q - R cancel should be used as a good example of outplay potential
I feel like as of right now, outplay potential comes down to who has the most dashes and when they use it to effectively dodge skillshots. (which is a fair thing btw)
With that being said, i think that Sion's Q - R cancel should be seen as a good example of outplay potential as well. Considering you take a risk in standing still for 4 seconds, and still have the potential of missing your Q.
So, me predicting someone will flash out of my 1st Q, serves as outplay potential without requiring a dash or mobility of some sort.
