AP Sion is easy to counter, so I'll not even mention him.

AD Sion is countered just as easily as any other melee AD. He'll have hard time laning, punish him early. He will be a beast mid game, expect it, and avoid team fights were possible, just harrass to lower his farm rate, and run. Late game farmed or not he can be countered with simple CC, burst damage, and Thornmail/Tabi's.

Most tanky/dps champs can easily 1v1 him with Tabi's/Thorn/Atmogs/Wriggles. Just get him ignited, and he folds too quickly in team fights to matter. Built tank he probably does less damage than Rammus, and becomes a non-issue.

Stop using Mobafire as your one stop shop for item builds. It's a good resource for free-week testing, but item builds should always be based on who you are laning against, and who will be the biggest threat later on.

A good example if this is Vlad vs Panth solo lane. Vlad building revolver first will just be an endless feed fest. Ruby->Chain Vest -> Mogs ->Zhonya's will let you live long enough to safely pool.
