His new kit sums up too much power in his passive - 200% HP, devastating on-hit (esp. as it is physical dmg), ult-like lifesteal and free attack speed.

For that his gameplay outside his passive is just lackluster: No dash besides ult, crappy attack speed without items, no sustain or damage steroid, and your CC is easily countered. Duell somebody? Only over my dead body! Ups, *with. Therefore laning will propably be like: Try to grab 1-2 waves while getting poked down, then try to get executed by a monster, run back to lane and clear another one out.

Especially in the early game I don't know if the static passive values aren't too powerfull, because as far as it looks like now I'd tank the first buff for the jungler and then take golems/big wraith while dieing to it, return to lane and push totally risk free for the next few waves (well, maybe you have to use a health pot).

Also, his ultimate looks really strong on paper (Gap Closer with CC imunity, bombastic base values, CC and safe follow-up CC), though you'll never hit anybody different than a tank with it. Everybody can side-dash/flash to avoid you, and if even that isn't possible, they just need to send someone tanky into you. So therefore you'll lose a good amount of HP to get an initiation off onto the wrong champion (unless of cause you went full tank and the enemies agreed that letting you alive decreases your damage :D). And I really hope there's missing a "Second Cast: Sion stops charging.".

A few important questions:

1. When will the death message appear for Sion? E.g. you could easily sneak baron if the message pops up just after you finally, truely die.

2. How high is his passive life drain?

3. Can he attack while chanelling his Q?
