I'm not exactly sure where did you get that info about Sion no longer being viable. So his Stun got nerfed by 0.5 sec, means that he doesn't still have 1:1 AP ratio on both of his skills and is able to nuke you down in a matter of seconds if you're squishy? Or, as a meele DPS, has a free, passive 65 AD and 20 seconds long attack speed and lifesteal buff?

Also, what puzzles me even more is in what way Sion's builds are expensive, knowing that the only thing AP build really needs is Rabaddon's Deathcap, boots and Lich Bane. He can pretty much one-shot a creep wave with his Shield having one Blasting Wand and he will still build up bonus HP from Enrage. And for the DPS build, same situation - you get free, passive 65 AD and your ultimate's buff on a very short CD so what more do you really need? I find myself going for Stark's Fervor or Phantom Dancer early on for attack speed and critical/lifesteal, perhaps a quick Executioner's Calling if going against Champions like Vladimir, Mundo, Taric or Soraka, after that some survivability items - Banshee's Veil, Frozen Heart or even Frozen Mallet/Warmog's Armor if the game's rather easy. Finish off with Atma's Impaler and that's it. In what way either AP or DPS build is more expensive than any other, especially if you have your shield to farm like a boss with AP and 25 passive AD to help you last hit from level 1?
