User blog comment:KaiserLos24/Sion Rework Idea/@comment-20434720-20140216010200

The thing about your rework idea is that it's more what riot would call "modernizing" a champion. Things like giving him two passives, giving him more free stats, etc. And while Riot may like it, I am not a fan at all. His W and E are braindead stat sticks, and we need *less* of those in league. And by giving Sion a movement speed buff, you remove the main element of counterplay - kiting, the one thing that's going to keep him from being *too* strong seeing as he already has two rather large defensive steroids, as well as two offensive steroids.

Criticism aside, though, I'm glad that you're at least taking the time to think about this kind of stuff. I will say that I quite like the Q rework idea! A point and click high-base-damage-scales-ridiculously-with-AP stun just doesn't really fit Sion. Would this work like Nidalee's cougar W, where the AOE is based on which way you're facing, or would it be a skillshot you had to aim, like Mordekaiser's E?
