1. I never claimed Sion to be amazingly useful. I stated that he can be more useful than Shyvana.

2. If you're doing baron or some other major objective, you're likely to be grouped up within many devastating AOEs anyway. I never said the range wasn't bad, and it does need to be improved.

3. He's not played in your normals. I have experience playing with him in normals many times. Furthermore, in the past week alone I've seen at least 5 Sion games in diamond ranked (featured games). And no, I don't spend my entire day staring at the featured games, so there are definitely more than that.

4. Remember how everybody said Shyvana was bad/sub-par until, after receiving no changes whatsoever, she was OP? While being played indicates being able to bring wins, being able to bring wins doesn't make him played.

5. Jarvan's auto attack range is above-average for melee champions. A 200-radius area is comparable to a slightly-larger Cho'Gath Q, and from experience playing cho'gath, it is completely reasonable to hit 2-3 people with it in a normal fight.

6. Even if you aren't healing your entire team, you're still healing whoever's next to you, and there should always be someone next to you. A dive buddy should be holding your enemies still for you and soaking damage that you're healing back, or, alternatively, the back line you're protecting is getting dove and needs health from you. Outside of 1v1s, there really isn't any case where the AOE heal is wasted (and even in 1v1s, you basically make the minions next to you immortal, which although not all that useful past levels 6-10, is still hilarious to see).
