Is Conquerer and Ignite just a new common combo in top now?

Because I’m seeing this when fighting every fighter in top (at least, it feels like it) and I’m really starting to hate it.

I get that fighters are meant to get an advantage in lane through 1v1s, but I don’t feel like I can do anything here. Especially when they freeze the lane.

I main Sion, so I might just be playing awfully (I don’t play as much as I used to so I’m probably out of practice), but it really feels like top lane has become “If I die at level 2, I’m not doing anything this lane.”

Damage is king. Don't waste time trying to tank.

Best tank in the game at the moment is Tryndamere

He's the only champ in the game that can live longer than 3 seconds while being focused.

Sion is beyond broken atm (mainly because of the grasp and overgrowth + your passive), you are doing something very wrong, if you feed. Plus he is one of the cheesiest champions, waiting in the bush lvl 1 with, charging Q, running at you, then ignite, bam = first blood. You are seriously making some mistakes, if you don't do decent to great on him. Maybe consult some youtube gameplay videos...

Its been that way for the last 6 months or so. As a Sion player though, you don't really have any reason to complain.

Take ignite against the fighter and stack a bit of hp, unless they have insane shielding or healing, ignite is going to chunk them more than it will chunk you.

Conqueror is still overtuned and will hopefully be hit once they do their damage-control pass on runes, items and stuff.

Ignite will actually be nerfed next patch - a complete revert of the (semi-recent) buff it got last time around (damage back to 70-410) in exchange for a slight cooldown buff (210 -> 180 seconds).

It's funny, I played conq Yi in jungle and felt it was well balanced, it's like start it charging against a scuttle to give an edge in scuttle fights if the enemy contests, or even hit scuttle on your way into lane. I found that with very careful play and positioning it could be really powerful, even invading enemy JG if you get a lot of deep vision.

Because it takes so much effort and focus to play with it, sometimes I don't because I'm just tired or feeling lazy, which is most of the time lately.

Yet as a jungler it never once occurred to me that any laner can just sit on it as an active, which is actually insane.

Teleport is garbage so why not. And then they quote how they teleported bot once in one game out of 30 and got a kill out of it so its still worth. I myself run summoner 6 summoner 4
