Sion taking red buff at level 1 is a strategy that is slightly noob trap
Taking red buff as
(or blue buff) can help him a lot and give him a good lead over his laner. However, there is a huge risk by trying to do this.
The number 1 risk into taking the buff is that it could lead to a kill to the enemy.
Imagine if a top laner goes to the red buff and stays in a bush while Sion is trying to take the red buff. Then, Sion gets close to dead and the top laner decides to go in and kill him. This leads to Sion not getting that lead and also giving fb to the top laner. He gets all of this and Sion has to burn tp.
Now, I do realize that this could rarely happen. I would say about either 1 out of 3 or 1 out of 4 this happens (these aren't stated statistics). However, I do not think that the buff taking is the best idea.
Just note, if you try to do it as some other champion and not Sion, the percentage of it working would go up due to the fact that it is less widely known on that champion. However, which champion can solo it I'm not sure since i would have to test it.
Also note that I am not a
main (I'm actually currently 1 tricking
) but I do think that this is a bad idea.
Tldr: taking buffs at level 1 as Sion top lane is usually too risky to be a good idea.
