You can be 100% sure I will be lurking near the area to give you a small whack and run away giggling so you can no longer suicide raptors, unless you want to give me first blood >:0

INB4 whole enemy team ganks me if I overstay my welcome, tho.

Thanks for the tip. Next time I want to try that I'll just suicide on your Raptors!

Well, that's a strategy but there you have the risk that the enemy mid laner might spot you, it's worth the shot, though!

If only he had wards or a team to back him up... Seriously, bronze to silver and Gold 5,4, this might work like 2 of 3 times, any higher than that, you are pretty much up for suicide trying to get a hit of.

The point isn't to 1vs1 him, only to deal damage so he's no longer "clean".

As someone who climbed all the way to Diamond, I can tell you that you're overstimating the amount of wards people use, specially in the first minutes, since most people want to save the trinket for their own lane.

Of course, you can always tell your team to go jump on him if you get a coordinated team!

I've heard of people doing this but I don't understand the purpose of it. Why would a Sion suicide to jungle monsters?

Deep Terror Nami1 votes

The experience. He can't kill them without the power of his passive, but once he dies he rips through them. Then he just TP's up top before he even loses any CS. And typically, his jungler doesn't need that camp soon anyway so he takes the Raptors.

I, uh, may have to be a scumbag and try this. >_>

Well, it's kind of like how the ADC/Supp are taking Gromp or Golems first then get to their lane, Sion is just really good at it if he is willing to use TP. Less scumbag and more rolling with the meta. Top laners who take Smite can get a camp first too.

But like Postal said, it can turn into a huge disadvantage if the enemy just sits in the bush and patiently waits, steals your large minion and gets the kill on you. Any interference and it's a bad idea.

Eh, I'm a bit out-dated and old school on laners taking jungle camps. I try not to do it until mid-late game because that's the Jungler's mobs. I leave your jungle alone you don't take my lane minions, you know?

It's a new thing. It makes them hit level 2 before their lane opponent; in Sion's case since he can solo a camp, he's 2 before he even gets there.

Basically the idea is an extension of TP tops killing a camp to get back to to lane with TP with lvl 2, in order to get an edge over the other toplaner (If you do it fast enough they will still be lvl 1 when you arrive).

Sion up's the idea by letting the Raptors execute him and pummel them to death with his passive.
