... I think the point is lost somewhere. Yi Fiora has no cc no shield no anything. They can only rely on their damage auto attacks.

The recent AS growth to tris is that riot wants tris to be strong in late game.

...Are you gonna suggest a rework for blitzcrank then...(I kind of have a feeling that you are wanting to rework all low AS growth champions)?

Precisely. The aim of sion is to let him be at the frontline chopping away and healing your teammates...... Both kits are aimed at different directions, Olaf wrecks havoc as no one can do anything under that cc immunity. Sion wrecks havoc by healing his whole team and himself by a whole margin if his teammates sticks together and with him hitting at the front line. I can't explain it any better than this.

I actually have no idea where this rework is now. Looking at it again, it had no life regen growth per level, disrupting his snowballing. But for that all his skills are buffed one or two levels, and the ultimate has more buffs for the sacrifice of 10/8/6 seconds.
