Pool party, Fiora, FotM, and Salt.

Anyone else here the victim of FotM? I main Sion and skin releases have been hell for me recently. Fiora players sprouting out of the woodwork. I'm not trying to say Fiora is OP, she does her job as Slippery Duelist just fine, but when you main a character as slow and telegraphed as Sion, top lane turns into a sort-of chicken game, seeing whether I come out first to try (and usually fail) to trade with her, or if she gets so bored of my turtling that she dives me. Late game has also been fun, what with Fiora rushing past me to assault my ADC, bonus points if I ult and this lets her use parry to stun my squishy compatriot.

Again, not trying to turn this into a "Nerf (fotm champ here)" thread, but I wonder if anyone else would like to share their troubles with skin releases pulling counters to your main into every game.

Look at it this way, you get constant practice against your counter. You'll come out stronger!

I've seen like, zero Fiora's. Besides whenever I play the match up i win, unless maybe they're just bad idk.

As a Fiora main, I'd notice if there were more Fiora players. I can say there haven't been, and I haven't been playing Fiora too much recently

you are playing sion in the wrong lane my friend

Ant stomping and worm crushing is best served cold and brutal in the midlane

Sion has a few unique tools over other tanks which makes him an excellent midlaner He has strong poke with E and you can't hide behind your lackeys from it Strong waveclear and pushing power Awesome roams i dare any of my enemy sidelaners to push up to my allies turret Burst strogn enough to kill your midlane opponent consistently land E then R then Q and W drop in an ignite for good measure and that 1 dead mage The ability to rush defense but still packing enough punch to kill your enemy laner whilst shutting down any chance they had to kill you He counters Zed & Leblanc :D

If you are playing a clean Sion you might as well counter her. I'm not going to disclose exactly how but it involves a Dorans Ring :)
