@ riot Please reconsider your Sion changes

Just something to consider Do you know the root cause of E max Sion? I think it is important to address that if you really want it to go If i play Sion in lane do you really think ill be doing any sort of allin or melee trading? No! Because Sion loses most allin's in the early game he has super weak early armor en hp stats and the cast time on his abilities means they are of little use in such a situation If you go for a melee trade you risk being put in an all in situation you have zero escapes

The safe thing to do is to sit back and spam E on your enemy until they are too low health to win an allin fight after which you can go stand behind his minions and completely zone him off for example so you dont even need to interact at that point anymore

What makes the people at Riot think this will change with all the nerfs thrown his way. Less regen means melee trading is now even worse since you recover slower Q is way too easy to avoid unless snapcast, and E now deals less damage the weaker slow means setting up for Q got worse too since your enemy has an easier time getting out of your Q with the weaker slow so the bonus armor pen wont even make up for the shorter Q charge/cast.

My damage is down my defenses are down how is this supposed to make me interact more with my opponent.

In all honesty when i look at all this ill be maxing E again because what other choice do i have ? It's all straight nerfs that don't really do anything but force me to max E

If you want me to max something else like Q then make it attractive like giving more damage to minions/monsters with rank for example

I also really don't understand the logic of keeping Sion as squishy as Ezreal in the early game, no NO this will not make Sion max Q just like Ezreal Whoever told you this was trolling you

I can totally live with the early hp regen nerf but compensate this by buffing his late game regen It does weaken his early along with all the other nerfs though if you really want me to interact more with my opponent then give me a chance and buff Sion's level 1 armor & health Otherwise it's back to comet, dorans ring and E poke

Probably the saddest thing about all this is that Sion had options before this nerf pick any of the viable keystones rank abilties in any order you want But now after all the nerfs you truly only have 1 options and that is comet E max from having options to no other choice it really sucks

The only thing Sion needed was better early stats and an incentive to max Q over E like better damage to minions and monsters Then you could have nerfed the early regen form 10/hp5 to 5/hp5 and buff the hp5/level for a lategame compensation buff Q has always had the potential of better damage over E it just so much less reliable and it put's you at risk a lot more then E does On top of that E always was the better waveclear option too Now after changes likte this and E nerf would have been fine though 20-60 base damage nerf like it is now is pretty big imho half of that would have been enough
