I can't play Sion anymore.

E max Sion was really the only way to play against any competent opponent. Almost every champion in the game can negate Sion q either by dashing or facing him. The few champs that don't also don't take damage from Sion anyway or shred him if he even attempts to q them.

E max was the only viable way to play Sion effectively, and now that it doesn't do any damage it's not workable anymore.

I can't stand to think that my main becomes a support but with all of the changes he's been given until now, he's going to be one very soon.

Until he gets some damage buffs(specifically damage buffs, any other buffs just exacerbate the support problem), I don't think I'll be playing Sion.

You know, his E got a huge buff. Building AP deals way more damage. E + Q hits way harder.

You actually have to work for your wins now. Sion was extremely oppressive with very little counterplay - this was unhealthy for the game as a whole.

If learning to win fair like most other champions do is too much to ask of you, you were never really a Sion main. You were just abusing the meta while it was broken.

If you enjoy playing the champion, you’ll adapt and learn according to his changes. He’s still the same champion - and he’s still strong. Provided he’s played well.

sion was one of my favs too, it's a damn shame he was thrown in the gutter removing the bonus damage on collided unit hit was such a harsh change that it's no longer that good of an ability at all. the range is so short and the slow feels meaningless, its damage in lane was its main strength. of all the ways they couldve nerfed him, they destroyed the one thing making him viable and didnt give any meaningful compensation buffs. must i mention that those q nerfs that intended to nerf his early game havent been reverted yet? two abilities gutted, only his W and ult remain.

Just keep playing E max. You waveclear all day and they can't push the lane. You're basically anivia but a tank.
