3/15 PBE Update

I get that we already have enough skins in this upcoming patch. But that Mecha Zero Sion it referenced was exciting! Only for it to be taken away...

Please let it be the next patch after this. I don't think I could bear knowing that this skin is coming soon(TM).

The naming of the skin just fits Sion so well. "Mecha Zero" implies he was the first, and he's now a dilapidated mecha that's been retired. When the world is on the brink of annihilation, they start him up again, as their greatest weapon against the dire kaiju threat, but will the benefit of Mecha Sion's powers outweigh the cost of his instability? Will he turn on his allies in battle, or risk causing even greater destruction?

SO MANY Pacific Rim vibes. UGH I'M EXCITED.

OH MY GOD!

Imagine his ult has him almost break apart or his passive makes him overheat! I am so stoked.

I'm imagining his passive makes him go berserk, but he also starts crumbling to pieces with fire spurting out everywhere before he finally collapses. I'd imagine the "Soul Furnace" would be the equivalent of some super nuclear reactor powering him or something.

Also the thought of Mecha VFX for his ult and W is just awesome.

Kinda surprising that Sion seems to be no.0,considering that back then when mecha aatrox and malphite were released,the release page did mention a prototype zero and I thought they were referring to mecha kha'zix.

Also I hope that he transforms into some vehicle for his ult and that his berserk mode is colored like these 2: http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11122/111226921/4874394-carnage+mode.png http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11113/111139434/3563045-2575106343-EVA_0.jpg

Oh my god yes.

Evangelion was depressing as hell, but those berserk mecha fight scenes were beautiful to watch.

Well it was kinda clear that they wouldn't add another skin so late in the patch cycle,so I think it is likely to be part of the patch after that one.

Or it was an actual April Fools joke, but it would make this Sion main sad.

Would be a bit early and lame for an april fools joke

Given there were also ward assets that looked fairly mecha, this is the most logical line of thinking. Fingers crossed for next patch!

It'll be back. I think Ironside Malphite and the Beast Hunter set had words on a random PBE update the patch before they were unveiled.

It obviously wasn't meant to be shipped in this patch since it's well pretty much over by Thursday. So, it will be back in the next cycle most likely. The same thing has happened with many different skins such as the Beast Hunters, they were leaked and then pulled to be brought back in the next cycle. Also this Sion skin is most possibly a Legendary skin (1820) so it will have some kind of comic/website to tease it before it launches to the PBE.
