@Unevent you summed up my thoughts on Sion right now. What do you think of my post above this? I tried my hand at fixing both problems but retaining AP/AD.

@Odas Back when his AP ratios were higher, he was a common pick for a time in S2 -- and there he worked to great effectiveness.

@Cliffshadow Nice thinking. This is actually partly what he does, but you have to throw farming out of his vocabulary. If he farms passive, he loses the game because late game he can't reach the backline and his W alone doesn't scale hard enough. Back when he was considered viable, players would run him mid with mobility boots. He could insta clear a wave with almost no counterplay, and then he could roam. His stun is targettable, so it was a free kill whenever he got in range. He'd unload around 70-80% of their health in burst and prove a 1.5 second stun -- almost as good as a WW ult. Late game, he'd do the same thing -- and his W is AoE. The problem was his shield was nearly unbreakable with AP scaling (+100% at the time), and he is the only burst assassin besides TF to have a guaranteed stun. And Sion bursted harder than TF at the time, as both Q and W were 100% AP scaling.
