Splitpushing in S2 was dominated by Shen, Nidalee, or TF, as well as a stint by Tryndamere. Shen I am not sure about, Nidalee was impossible to catch, and Tryndamere would crush him late game. TF he might have handeled, but TF's wave clear was so strong that Sion could not dive him, and TF has the advantage of his ult to rejoin a fight.

In S3, the advent of Hydra has changed the scene and made it so that waveclear in a kit is no longer necessary to split push. I wonder how an AP Sion would fare as a duelist. We have also seen mids start to take teleport, and a mid Sion with teleport would be terrifying to be honest. The new meta might be kinder to him than I thought.
