Sion was never bad, and tanks as a whole were buffed in the preseason. The fact he stacks health is very strong because it makes him scale in tank quickly (one of the reasons Mundo and Malphite are also good ATM), in lane Grasp of the Undying gives him sustain and helps his damage which already wasn't slouchy for a tank, in the jungle you can also instead take Strength of the Ages, which causes Sion to scale impressively hard in tank, potentially easily up to a Warmog's worth of HP.

All this is combined with BotRK being nerfed when Sion has a natural health stack, which is good. Also, immobile ADCs like Miss Fortune, Varus and Jinx are doing quite well ATM, which makes his CC stronger due to its telegraphed nature.
