"well, of course he is a tank...unlimited health stacking jsut screams tank"

Um, no... there are plenty of people that build mostly/fully tank or are innately tanky (Shyvana, Garen, Mundo et al.) because being tanky is the best way to survive to put out their damage for longer (thus resulting in more overall), even though they're terrible at being "the tank" because of their lack of meaningful CC.

Sion is a weird one because since the rework his CC is good, but it's also unreliable - Q can be interrupted or dodged, E is a skillshot and only slows and R can also be dodged - it's hard, but it's honestly easier than dodging a Malph ult. Besides that, Sion's job is to put out damage, which is the complete opposite of what a tank's job is - tanks are meant to be relevant through their crowd control even if they never pick up a single damage item. How well Rito succeed at making pure tanks good is up for debate, but yeah. Sion without damage isn't very strong in my experience, unless playing against people who are very bad at avoiding his CC, thus I wouldn't consider him a "tank" despite his W passive. (Which he had on his old E, and he wasn't a tank back then either.)
