The new Sion disagree's with me.
Hello people,
When I first heard about the sion remake months and months ago I was happy. I thought he'd get new skins, possibly a buff, maybe an art rework. But when I found out they were completely changing him, well, heartbreaking would be the word that comes to mind.
I used to main the old sion. I loved him, he was my best champion, my favorite champion to play. Whenever someone laughed at me for playing AD sion I just went and won a 1v3, a 1v4, or even a 1v5. Sion was that kind of champion that could win games. Hell, one of my favorite games was on Twisted Treeline, my 2 teammates DC'd and I was in a 1v3. It was late game so I was fairly tanky thanks to my e, and I just went and got a few tripples and won the game.
Now, this new sion doesn't agree with me. Every time I play him I want to quit league. He's useless. His q is so bad people who are exhausted can easily walk out of it. His shield is good, I like the new shield. His E, well, I can't complain about it. My biggest issue is with the q and the ult.
Like I said, his q is useless. It's such a horrible nerf to an amazing champion. Before he had a single person stun, but that champ ended up actually getting stunned. The new q is great in the jungle I agree, but what's the point of it if most champions can just walk out of it like it's nothing? I haven't went up against a single champion who I could actually beat with the new sion thanks to the no stun policy. With the old sion I only ever had trouble with Jax.
Now, the ult. I'm only complaining about it because I miss the old ult. I loved being able to get 154% lifesteal while doing 500+ dmg with crits. I used to be able to go from nearly dead to full hp in 2 hits if they were crits. Now I get a decent stun which I like, but he doesn't have anywhere close to the sustain I used to adore on him. The distance closer is a nice touch, but I'd still prefer the old ult to the new.
I also loved the e's damage scaling. I loved having more dmg than the adc, I loved having 500 AD in under 20 min, if I got fed than in under 15 min. I'd love to have that back.
I play with people a lot, and I haven't met a single old sion player who likes the new sion. Hell, most of the people I used to play agree with my plight. But then again, those people have seen me play the old sion.
This might get ignored, but I felt like ranting.
