Yeah, mischaracterize what was actually said about him in the video. Sure. There's not an issue with him fucking farming. OF fucking course not. The problem is that he has a great early game *AND* amazing late game scaling. Having both of these leads to a champion easily doing well early leading to him being uncounterably strong late game. Try to name some other champs that are *BOTH* really strong early and really strong late. Caitlyn? Very strong early but has poor endgame scaling. Kassadin? Shit early game (that got shittier!) to a powerful mid game, where he levels off by end game.

I've seen an AP Sion dominate a lane, then be next to unkillable. Sure, break his shield before he has a 1:1 ratio AP ability. Good luck with doing 800-900 damage in about 2 seconds (because Sion doesn't burn down the fuse on it some.)! Most likely, he'll get the best case, where he avoids damage and nukes your entire team for ... 800 damage.

Do I think AP Sion is OP or anything like that? Hell no. But can I agree with this, as a fairly small nerf? Yeah. It doesn't kill him, but it does mean his scaling, which was a lot better than a lot of AP champs, is a bit less powerful.
