Stop picking Sion if you aren't going to play him as a support

Sion, is by default, a garbage champion with predictable skill shots, a very weak early game, and a poorly designed kit. Every time someone on my team picks him they end up having to feed, because I doubt anyone in low elo's can play him properly.

Hahahahahahaha.

He's the worst tank in the game right now, if you can even call him that.

Most likely because sion is primarily a fighter.

No. Sion is a tank, though tank item changes have hurt him.

Oh just double checked. Primary tank secondary fighter, you're fight.

Actually, no. He isn't. If you go by winrates, he is the best tank in top lane right now. Unfortunately that doesn't mean much when his winrate is 48-49% down from the 52-53% that it used to be. The tank update screwed tanks by killing their powerspike item, and Sion got nerfed a lot by that. But he's still the highest winrate top lane tank. Not to mention, a good Sion will win his team games single-handedly

Your opinion of his status in tank rating aside, Sion doesn't have a weak early game. It's actually near lane bully status power (he can't bully lane bullies, but to everyone else he can function as one). The main weaknesses of his early is his squishiness for a tank and some of his mana costs.

If you know how to play Sion, your early game can be hell for your opponent.

You should definitely continue worrying about the other players instead of how to improve yourself. That's a fantastic use of your time.

Yes, in high elo's he is "competitive," but in lower leagues, he's an extremely risky pick because "most" players can't play him properly.

Most people can't play Taliyah in low elo. Should they stop playing her?

Most people can't play most champion to their extend in low elo, should they stop?

Worry about your stuff instead of what people play.

I actually want to try Taliyah out because she seems pretty fun. Just waiting for her to go on sale or be on free week... I'm cheap.

Any beginner tips?

Do not use quick cast on her W. It's too hard to use due to the vector cast. It's pretty easy on normal cast however. Her W is a bit weird at the begin, but once you get used to it, it feels like a sixth sense.

The best beginner tip I can deliver is: Have fun. There is nothing better than having fun playing a champion.

Thanks for the tips. Have fun playing a champion? Back to AP Shaco support. Lol

I decided to watch some Tilterella videos, and then tried Youmuus Sion myself. Not only it was really fun, but also a free S.

Tileterella spellthief's smite orianna gave me the idea to try out smite and spellthief's on Taliyah. It's super strong early game, but falls off super fast after 30 minutes. Perfect for early game combs.

Just because you're a Bronze Sion doesn't mean everyone else is.

I run Sion with a full tank/regen runepage. His early game doesn't feel weak to me when I can literally stand in lane and ignore their poke.

Wait, Sion has the highest damage in the game for tanks. Like, Sion may not be top tier but you might want to look at his base damages before making that claim.
