the thing is he is more often used as ap tank more than ad and thats why riot wants to make him more mage like becaus axe doesnt seem like something mage would use. In case you didnt know his Q and W both have 90% ap scalling high damage and low cooldowns. "Well, Sion was designed to be an offensive tank, however he deviated from this when players focused on his AP build. Over time we have considered making him more focused on AD, but shied away from it since it goes counter to how the majority of the community enjoys playing him. Honestly, I am not sure if we should change him into a AD focused champion at this point." by Ez. That is not the only topic that mention this but i dont remember in which others it was mentioned http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?p=33944520#33944520
