sion is for sure not a frightening tank. you can build him ap or ad. he is a bruiser which deals good amounts of damage and has good survivability too, on top of a nice single target cc. Give him a solo lane top or mid, so he can farm a lot, which he needs. He is not a bad champ at lvl 1, but only a fed/farmed sion will dominate the game.

--> AP sion shows his strength earlier then AD sion, but is easily countered when the enemy team has MR. 2 of his spells wont be that effective with this build, AP sion mostly relies on his Q and W Combo. Which gives him extraordinary burst. AP sion is all about bursting squishys down in a matter of seconds. So he will do best against squishy carries without mr.

--> AD sion is not that impressing during midgame but does scale better into the very lategame. He benefits from all his kit, especially his great E and R steroids. Q and W are mainly for utility. He will do better against enemys which arent bursted down that fast. dont forget to build some tanky stats on him too, because he has to stay in the middle of a fight for some time - opposed to AP sions hit&run style

Thats just some thoughts from my side, ive been playing sion for half a year. not my main, but a steady pick. Most of the time i pick him when i want to do a lot on myself and not rely that much on my teammates. A good sion can carry games on his own, like those assasins (poppy/leblanc/kassadin/...) but will contribute more to a teamfight as well. He is one of the rare champs where AP and AD builds seem to be equally viable.
