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:
January 16th56 votesStop 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.
xZMetalx52 votesSo much of this, NA servers running on potatoes. Riot really needs to split NA east and west
warpenguin555180 votesYou guys do know riot has different people for both of those things right?
hmmm, looks like we found the morons
Gertzerroz52 votesYou do know that people aren't just payed on a daily basis to show up to work and do things right? There are projects that people are assigned to. I wonder who assigns these projects and invests money into them? Definitely not Riot by your logic warpenguin555 you're the moron lol. OP is telling riot to invest more money into the severs rather than the reworks of champions. I don't play any other game with worse connection and client issues than league of legends. Funniest thing is this game has tons of patches and has been out for several years. The game is awesome and fun it just has reliability issues.
Deep Terror Nami20 votesYou used correct grammar for "you're the moron", I'll give you that.

Dusty the Man34 votesDo you people have any idea how long it takes to set up a fast new server that big for millions of players?!?!
Cause I sure don't XD
Captain Plankton9 votesLook at Battlefield 4, people have paid $40-100 for the game & pre-paid DLC, and that game has been deemed unplayable by the majority of the community. MMO's are plagued with zoning issues and quest bugs and hundreds of issues that don't exist here. I bet if there was a legit study done on game up time and server issues, LoL would rank pretty high on the good end of the scale, especially for a free game!
Rew71114 votesNot trying to take sides here but I really wish I could play a game without lagging. Now for us Mac users, its twice the problem. I'm not going to go out and buy another computer. As well, they are working very hard to get things in check again. It isn't easy to fix coding and other bugs.

phraxxion47 votesHow many times to people need to say this before it's drilled into your puny minds? THEY HAVE DIFFERENT TEAMS THAT WORK ON DIFFERENT THINGS! Would you like to have artists and champion designers working to fix servers?
Vadoe26 votesYes.
Vadoe7 votesYou know why? Because who needs new champions when we just myas well got 3 in a row.
So they do have something they can do which in my opinion: the Ranked system and/or the servers if possible.
Shubin53 votesYou guys realize that you don't even pay money for this game unless you want to. So for what you get, I would shut up.
Zora Marslink26 votesHahaha artists doing a tech's job lol. Like a janitor doing a brain surgeon's lol. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
TEEMOcalypse29 votesHEY That "Janitor" WAS a brain surgeon! ...in his country...
Gertzerroz20 votesThere's a thing called money. Money is invested into projects within the company. An example of a project would be the Sion rework. A group of artists and designers are assigned to work on this project. The project will receive a budget and people will work on it accordingly. When people ask Riot to work on the servers instead of reworks they are simply asking riot to invest more money into work done on the servers than designing champions. If you cannot grasp this concept then please stfu.
fl85 votesI remember a post saying that only 1% of the players that play this game has ever bought riot points.
General Keith32 votesprobably not true, everyone I know buys Riot Points
TebTenggeri15 votesI wonder if the "1% of players buy riot points" statistic takes into account people who gave the free game a whirl and decided it wasn't for them? I could believe a fraction like that if it included inactive or brief account presence.

D0Minick22 votesWhy aren't you making a traditional Sion skin? If you are, why isn't it on the PBE?
Morrivar18 votesThis is something I am very curious about! I want to see what Traditional 
will look like! (Dat bone arm OP)
Devi Siva4 votesIve spent 100's of dollars on this damn game. I fully support it. but it feels like that moenys not being put to good use when they dont do something every one expects such as a Traditional skin. It feels like a huge cop out to release him sooner
1000wattWarlock4 votesIf I remember correctly, the other champs who have had massive reworks like Sions (Trundle, Sejuani) eventually got traditional skins, which were given free to anyone who owned the Champ prior to the rework. I've been known to be wrong though.
1000wattWarlock4 votesIf they do a traditional skin, I really hope it has the Ahnold voice.
stormageddon158 votesyeah you have a point there all of these skins that looked like crap in his old model look awesome now, i can see the old green and bone covered sion looking ba
Lunçhbox20 votesUmm. 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.

TheCrimsonSword38 votesThe new has a Unique Joke when around
He says "So uh, ... we can't hang out any more. I'm cool now."
I thought it was hilarious. The joke being that both of them were unappreciated champions based of their old splashes, and now has been updated and just lost his friend.
The Bili RailGun11 votes : I lost my friend ; - ;
Blackblood310 votesI've been waiting for 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

Vasahiah8 votesHi 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.
MIS3RY7 votesWhen will you be releasing the new ?
XerathMidLane6 votesI really can't wait for the new re-work on sion, Just please Riot don't make him weak. I have so many questions! I can't wait >_<
DeathStorm5 votesHer'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.
Chespin20135 votesstill want a vu for this guy
TheWunderWaffler5 votesI 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?
