So I've been playing 
a lot recently and I was wondering if I could get some tips on item builds. When I'm in top lane I'm usually conflicted whether to rush 
or a defensive item (MR or AD depending on who I'm fighting). Any tips?
You want my name1 votesSion was my first champ ever and i love playing him. honestly i build Titanic hydra first. you can switch between that and ravenous. cuz he does a lot of damage already/ i just build tanky after that. i actually may build black cleaver if im getting alot of kills.
Espy Psyche1 votesI don't know about top lane because I play him in the jungle.
In the jungle I go full tank with 
as his only damage item. Something like 
. That way I get the most mileage out of his W passive, and can initiate fights with R, deal AoE damage, and not die under heavy focus.
In top lane I guess you could replace Cinderhulk with Sunfire Cape?
And I'd build based on who you're against. Rush the Titanic if you're against a Shen or someone who can't do much damage, but rush the Randuin/Banshee's against someone who does damage (depending on their damage type).
Ralanr1 votesLacks a bit of CDR, I usually try and get full so that my ult at max rank is just 36 seconds. But two people recommending titanic hydra first makes me consider it.
SS Enforcer1 votesWhen i'm up against a somewhat stronger kind of lane bully, such as 
or 
, i max E and rush frozen heart, then the rest of the build is what's best against the enemy team, health, magic resist, the rest.
However, when i get ahead or when i'm in the jungle, i usually build as a first/second item, then go tanky.
A complete top lane build against a lane bully USUALLY goes like this. Of course, situational items might come into play such as 
or and MAYBE a or a .
And a complete top lane build against a more defensive and therefore easier lane looks like this:
Ben Sharpio1 votesI currently have 185k points in Sion this season and i always rush titanic hydra.
Lovelle1 votesThere are a few ways you can build Sion and it depends on the role you're playing.
However, generally you want to build based on the situation and team comp. You can never go wrong with defensive items.
is his best damage item without a doubt.
