New Sion's Greatest Misses

RiotRiot Silog·10/13/2014, 10:14:54 PM·69 votes·45,127 views

The new Sion rework gave us an undead juggernaut meant to strike fear in the hearts of the Demacian frontline -- but when I see him miss his ult and run harmlessly past a team, he's definitely more entertaining than he is intimidating. I threw together a collection of some of my favorite Sion fails; check 'em out and share your own!

Sion pls -- Qwadah

Watch this video the first time, and you'll just see a normal Sion sieging the mid tower with his team. Hint: You're watching the wrong Sion.

Bot lane gank, the scenic route -- Ollie Pennington

Sion's ult can be very useful for setting up a gank through the bot lane. This isn’t a very good example.

I feel Sion's pain here; as an avid bowler, I too have a hard time picking up the split.

Counterplay and Sion's ult -- Chauffeur Romo, Shaun Wild, BackreaperX, and Unbalanced531

The League of Legends design team values counterplay very highly, as you can tell from the next few videos.

Here, Amumu does the Sad Mummy Shuffle to get out of the way:

On the other hand, Twisted Fate decides to stand his ground:

Lucian deserves a Matador skin after this play:

And Anivia stops Sion in his tracks entirely:

Mis-Sion successful -- Calbel, SaReaver, TheOrchero, and OrganicRobott

Missed ults aside, Sion can pull off some pretty sweet plays, too -- so I thought I'd include two videos where he did something rad. This is why you should fear the Sion/Zilean bot lane duo:

And this is why you have to respect his revive passive:

Just don't tax his lane, junglers. Sion hates it when you tax his lane. (Warning -- language is NSFW)

Finally, Sion's critical attack animation is the best reason I've seen to max his chance to crit:

That's all I've found so far. Anyone find any other good ones?

"But new Sion isn't funny anymore", they cried.

They were wrong.

Undead wrong.

Although I like the new Sion, I was concerned that Riot was too quick to discard the humor inherent in old Sion.

Now I realize that Riot's simply transferred the comedy from Sion's voicework to his gameplay.

Any game I have a Sion in I know I'll get a good laugh.

Ok riot you had your fun, can you make his ult more reliable now?

The main question we should be asking is why does lucian have zhonyas?

I have so many "I meant to do that" moments. it was alllllll planned.

This is hilarious. My favorite was the Sion lane tax. That is definitely one way to make sure your jungler does not tax your lane.

RIP old Sion....

Holy crap, I got a video featured! I'm the one with the Anivia wall shutting down the ult. Really glad you enjoyed it enough to share it here!

I will forever hear the can-can when I see a Sion in-game now after that last one.........

People don't know how to press r again to end ult :D

Braum's crit animation is even funnier with max AS.

New Sion has filled the world with laughter.

Skiren10/14/2014, 12:00:37 AM2 votes

What I just don't understand is, how do they not realize that they need to stop his ult? did they just kind of... wing it? just press all of his ability buttons to see what they do without reading any of em?(and see that it can be stopped at all) I do like how Sion has a weird synergy with some other champs with his minion push(I imagine Syndra might have that too?) I've once seen Yi chain off a minion I pushed, but I'm not sure how that works, he didn't end up at it's position when he stopped, but that's all I know. Also that Lee thing there could be used offensively as well, it would give Lee a much higher distance, and more reliability than just trying to hit an enemy champ.

lol, its like these people dont know you can stop your ult and still get the damage off on the targets as well as a strong slow and i believe it can still knock them up. kids these days.

Awesome post ! I'm sad right now that I reinstalled my PC and lost my replays, because I had a beautiful Sion lane gank dodged by Ezreal ending up with Sion stunning himself undertower and giving away first blood.

Man that Ult's torturous, but good.

Ahh Sion... I'm totally going to have to try a max crit build when I finally try the new Sion out, that amused me greatly. xP

Had my fun Sion moment when our Sion came charging down mid to "help" kill the enemy mid-laner, but I managed to kill them a split second before Sion was going to hit, so he just continued to sail down the lane instead.

Has anyone seen two Sions ult into each other yet? Seems like it would be pretty amusing..

Best Sion miss I've seen so far involved a spawn turret.

Monogue10/14/2014, 7:56:34 PM1 votes

I like the passive and the ult, so useful for engaging team fights in mid lane, but boy... That Q is hard to setup. Early game seems like he's difficult to play..

I NEED TO ADAPT AND CHANGE QUICKLY! Khazix

The tax penalty had me giggling but I completely lost it at the crit dance. Thanks for these!

Waiting for movement speed Sion + Ult vs Vi Ult

What Is Smite10/17/2014, 6:53:43 AM1 votes

You should get some mile high clubs video's where sion ults in then malphite ults then the enemy is hit by a fully charged Sion Q. I did that in solo Q to a jayce in mid lane, so funny he never hit the ground before he died every time he fell for it.
