Yes, but Sion's other two abilities don't stop existing because he's going AD. He still has the bases on those, the stun and the shield for trading purposes. His passive isn't to be underestimated early on either - a 40% chance to ignore minion damage and a fair chunk of a champion's early AD isn't too bad.

Like I say his early game isn't good but it's not atrocious. You can even cheese first blood sometimes if people underestimate your steroid - it's more AD than Trynd's Q early, and you have no crit but you do have a 1.5s stun. Not something you should count on though.

I've played a fair bit of AD Sion along with my friend and between us we've done well in lane against tricky (for Sion) opponents like Renekton, Vlad, Kha'Zix, Ryze and Singed. It takes some skill, but you don't auto-lose lane with Sion if not going AP.
