New Sion strategy and low elo players

Ok so I know this is an effective strategy in higher elo games where players know how to execute the strategy well and their team knows how to play around it. However it has come to my attention that in lower elo players do not understand how the strategy works and their team can not play around it well. This is leading to Sion players simply inting in ranked low elo games while their team is trying to win. I know this can be a difficult problem to solve but it should be addressed by Riot as it is causing general unhappiness in low elo games.

Why wouldn't this build utilize Ohmwrecker? It seems like if all the builds in the game, Ohmwrecker would finally find some use on one that specifically is trying to take down turrets as quick as possible.

Riot's tolerance of the strategy also seems to be giving trolls the green light to just straight up intentionally feed, as long as they're playing Sion.

it's the same for proxy singed.

Low ELO will stay low ELO cos their macro is bad.

With ohmwrecker AND zzrot, you cancel out about...4-6 shots from tower. more than enough to take it out with demolish.

Ohmwrecker timed right takes out three shots, lay zzrot just outside turret range...turret takes zzrot minion, then the portal itself if you placed in range.

If a bronzie was able to take that tower as Sion...it pretty much falls in one salvo if nobody interrupts it.

But with ohmwrecker to start it, you chunk that tower easily to 1/4 > 1/3 hp left after demolisher hits. I prefer to save my ult to rush out of there and hopefully nothing gets in my way.
