The Champion Update team’s taking a break from prepping Sion for war so they can host an upcoming Sion Q&A session on 9/30! If you have questions about how we turned the big green Arnie impersonator into a hulking Noxian colossus, come along and ask away!

Dig into Sion’s past here:

Stop Reworking champions and Rework your fucking Servers Correctly. You guys make sooo much money and can't even get it right, it's been years now and u guy still have the same Server Issues.

Why aren't you making a traditional Sion skin? If you are, why isn't it on the PBE?

Umm. Hello. I'm by no means any sort of expert on champion development or upkeep on networks and servers, but no one seems to have mentioned that servers are more complicated than just putting in new content. I have friends in the networking business and servers have stress all the time and so upkeep for them is much more difficult than simply adding more code to the game. Just defending the networkbros out there. Keep up the good work Riot Games.

I've been waiting for Sion to get a rework ever since i started playing i like to play champs who almost no one play because they have the most potential they don't get nerfed as much as other champs but now with this rework everyone will see him in action. I also wanna see how he stacks against Yorick and baron for some reason and can we know when the summoners rift update is gonna be released. when they do the q and a i am in school can someone ask for me plz and can Shaco get a visual update

Hi there my dear Riot, I have some questions about Sion's Health:

Old Sion has 403 + 104xlvl = 2275 health at lvl 18 (2nd champion with larger base health at 18), plus 3 per minion/6 per large unit/champion

Beta Sion has 480 + 60xlvl = 1560 health at lvl 18 (champion with lowest base health at 18), plus 2 per minion/8 per large unit/champion

As you can see the health difference is huge, you have to Farm about 200 minions and 40 large unit/champions just to equal health old Sion had killing 0 minions.

I can understand you want to lower its health, but I think you quite overdid. However I like the direction of the design of sacrificing base health to gain it by killing units. Have you plans on balancing this issue? what would be your direction, more base hp or more hp gain by killing units?. Thanks for your time, and overall I love your changes to Sion.

I was hopping the new Sion would be built to better use his ultimate of 100% life steal and healing allies, why simply takeaway the ultimate?

Her's an off-topic question, But when will the Tribunal be out of Recess. It just seems like the Tribunal has been offline for a year just about. I know that I myself and the majority Community feel involved when we can vote to punish a toxic player and possibly have them reformed or banned, or even save a person from injustice by declaring their innocence.

On the other side, I also hope that you don't remove Sion's personality. I personally enjoy hearing "Get on my Choppa" and "Who's your stabbah Now". I feel Sion can use some reworking for sure, changing how his abilities work or interact with the map and other champions. Anyways, can't wait to see the final results.
