Sion the undead Goofy
First of, i want to apolegise for the rape of the english language that i am about to do, i will try my best to be as informative as i can
So lets talk Sion,
Thematicly and on paper Sion looks pretty cool, but right now i feel he is very very lackluster to play with. Relisticly i dont expect him to me a murdermachine and rape face, but right now the closest thing to describe this new undead terror is Goofy
yep thats right, he is a big un-scarry goof
i feel that Riot focussed to much on his counterplay aspect that he really feels clunky to use. His passive wich when you read the tooltip sounds beast as fck, really is lackluster, his MS is capped and does not interact with furor boots or trinity MS boost. here is the first goof: OH i Killed Sion now i have 1 second to cover ground over him before he can take revenge, OH NO HE RUNS AT ME, uses a low CD slowspell and laugh at the sion
im not saying that his passive does not need any counterplay, but isent the revive time enough counterplay to get out of his zone? Looking at other death passives i would say that zyra's is even better then his
second his Q, i understand that a fully charged Q is devestating IF it lands, and provides him great zone controll, but he himself does not really have any great way to set up his own charged Q, His E helps a bit but it really is not enough. the only time that he can really fully charge his Q is when either is target is already locked down, or if he uses his fully charged ult against the target.
His Q just feels goofy to me, OH IM CHARGING UP FOR THIS AWESOME HIT AAAAAAAAND FCK...... i missed....
i know you can release it sooner to let it hit, but i rather have something more reliable with lower damage to disrupt then to miss this, Mega-Gnar W is kind of simular to sion Q, Mega-gnar is W is also telegraphed wich is not a bad thing, but also easyer to land and to chain with his ult.
Sion's E to me feels just like a placeholder skill, the debuff time is to short to take advantage of, and the slow is lackluster at lower levels.
Sions W feels pretty good actually, altho i have major gripes with Sions natural health gain. The other day i was playing with a Amumu jungle and i had a Sunfirecape and was building towards a frozen mallet just missing an pickaxe, Amumu had his jungle item with a sunfire cape, and he had 150-ish more HP then me i also had 2 levels over this Amumu , His health per level is very very low, i have to build a lot of health and armor to be effectivly tanky for little to no tank stats besides his shield.
and once you finally get to the point that you have a reasonable healthpool from items because his gains on W really only cover up the fact that his HP per level is absurly low That ADC with his shinny BORK fcks you over in a few hits
lastly his ult, this one cracks me up , this is why Sion is not the undead Juggernaut, but Sion the Goof, Unstopable onslaught is anything but onstopable, it stops at the first target hit, is harder to controll then an plane treu turbulence, and all it takes to dodge it, is to just move 2 units to your side and there is nothing Sion can do about it, its so hard to steer him propperly that you see all these funny yourtube montages of sions collapsing into walls. i ask myself why would you make an innitiation tool this hard to land? cause seriously try it out, i have made some major cool plays with it but more often then not they just sidestep it and laugh.
Riot i really hope you plan on fine tuning him a bit cause he is really not satisfieing to play
TLDR:
Sion feels more like Goofy then a Juggernaut
