When countering AD Sion, note that it can be very effective to pick champions who win wars of attrition, not necessarily all-ins. AD Sion is very good at all-ins post-6, but his trading, even with a point-click stun, isn't very good simply because he doesn't have the tools to support it. Any top with natural sustain can really give him a rough time, as all you need to do is hit him a couple times, and even though you may come out of the trade down in health, the fact that you naturally gain health over time and he (if he is farming at all) naturally loses health over time means that you'll still come out ahead. For example, looking at a quick trade between Irelia/Xin/Nasus and Sion, it would appear that Sion could come out ahead via his passive, his stun, and his bonus AD. But 10 seconds later they'll still have more HP than you (and likely more mana).
