A Sion Guide by someone who knows what he's talking about

Tired of youtubers and streamers giving advice and not knowing what they are talking about? I know I was.

Reworked Sion is basically a new champion. Rather than be the first to release a gameplay guide. I actually decided to play him first. A lot. What if I told you to Max E on Sion rather than Q? I'd be the only one. I'd be the only one who knows WTF he's talking about.

Find out why and a lot more in my Sion Top Lane commentary (with added choo choo train sound effects for the kids)

I don't think they're trying to mislead anyone, they just know as little as the rest of us. :P

Maxing Q is pointless because it's real damage comes from it's scaling, not it's base damage. W scales better mid/late game due to the % health. E has the best base damage, especially when you can hit the enemy with a minion.

A Sheen item is a must have on Sion due to popping a quick Q followed by an auto attack for the Sheen proc.

When ulting into a team fight, pop W two seconds before impact, that way you can pop it asap, use the stun time to half charge Q, then basic attack the closest enemy and E, auto for good measure.

ok... let me interject here

first things first, the reason you max Q before E is that the damage IS RELIABLE

once you lane a slow from your E it makes landing the Q so simple

next up, the talk about sheen being a must -> no its not

Further more when talking about sions ult, if you know anything about the new sion you know you need to run JUST PAST THE ENEMY PLAYER THEN ULT, that way you prevent them from being able to flash after the stun wears off if you miss a Q, its an easy chase

also... your mic is too low, its hard to hear.

And again kuroi commenting below you talking about popping W 2 seconds before you hit the enemys, that's a bad idea because generally the shield is better for... you guessed it! SHIELDING! the damage is just a bonus for pushing and getting extra assists in fights because the damage is negligible in the grand scheme of fights... but alas... what do I know being a silver scrub whos only played 20 ranked games but still rocks a decent KDA

I found leveling Q second after E is a good way to focus on damage, as landing that slow makes Q very easy to hit. Though you should level shield second if you find yourself at the forefront of constant ganks and whatnot.
