His shield is actually his W. You are on Sion's page, so that is pretty much an inexcusable mistake. If Sion is the one doing the max damage on your team, no one on your team has a clue on how to build/farm or are playing skillshot based champions and don't hit a single one.

His Q is worthless for damage, and the AD might as well not be there for what you should probably build. Unless the guys you are playing against are braindead or stunned for two seconds, you ain't getting a full charge ever. His shield has tradeoff: you have to blow it and lose the shield for that AoE damage. As a Tank, there are few situations in which you ever want to blow your steroid for damage (Taric being the best example).

His only really damaging skill is his ultimate. Which is actually a gank tool and as such should never be used for damage. Plus it is easily evadable if your champion has a dash.

I don't believe he is either underwhelming or ovetuned. He is niche as a pick, which is not an ideal spot to be as a champion but not a regrettable one.

Also, Maokai is 10 times dumber than Sion would ever be since his kit is pretty much better in every way in this current meta. The "Pick or Ban" status on Mao is for a very good reason. Sion has zero sustain, higher cooldowns, is actually unreliable when it comes to all of his CC and does literally nothing for his team. Mao has super high sustain, awesome innate tankyness (90 armor at level 18 FTW), poke, lower cooldowns, more CC, intargetability and he makes his whole team tankyer.
