About fury:

It isnt really equivalent to health as it cannot be lifestealed and fury diminishes when out of combat + can only be regained by losing health which forces Sion to have a decent amount of health or he wont get much out of his fury as it wont charge up.It also makes it possible to add a CC immune on berserking though now that i think about it he doesnt really need slow immunity on Q that also refreshes as he attacks,just regular 3 secs are enough.

About Axe charge:

I forgot to write that it has 0.5 sec preparation time,and considering its the slowest dash in the game(450 MS) and its short 500 range it's really easily dodgable,but if it hits it deals massive damage,i dont see anything wrong about it considering that some champions can outrun his dash.

About Death's Caress:

Yeah,forgot to add duration,thank you for pointing this out.It doesnt have the potential to be up forever though as it can easily be bursted with 1 lategame spell/skill(even if Sion has 5k health its up to 700 dmg shield which is easily burstable) and its meant to give him survivabilty in lane or in jungle early game.It also interrupts which is Sion's only way of fightning hannelers.I think that if its not broken it should quickly recharge,as it fits Sion's Undead theme-it restores quickly unless you kill it.

About Berserking:

If i deleted it his passive would be useless but i cant add this to passive as it'd give Sion 1 more spell which would render him completely OP imo.

About Cannibalism:

Dont forget that Q procs on-hit effects and therefore is affected by lifesteal so it can potentially restore a major part of Sion's health by itself.He is not supposed to be sticked to targets and attacking once per second,but rather giving them a massive burst in the face-Axe charge+1-2 autos from stun after which they run and Sion has to survive until axe charge comes off cd.

Considering that Q deals 160% AD,and always crits, Sion will probably build infinity edge just to make this 160%x(2.5)AD.With 350 AD and his ult up he'll deal

700x1.6x2.5=2800(!) physical damage if he hits.Lets assume that target has 120 armor and sion has last whisper and hydra lifesteal in addition to his ult's.He has no ar pen from masteries nor runes as he's a tank.

2800x[100:(120x0.65+100)]=1573,3 physical damage,which equals 1762 health lifestealed per target,at 112% lifesteal.lets assume 1 of 2 consecutive attacks against the stunned target will crit and the other will not:

700x2.5+700=2450

A total of damage dealt to target will be 2950 after armor reduction and will steal not kill an average 3k health player.This will lifesteal 3304 hp,so how is Sion not an lifesteal tank.

This combo would be pretty hard to hit with his slow dash with preparation time,certainly harder than trynda dash + 2 hitting every single champion lategame.

That said i'll be removing AOE on his Q and removing the refresh on hit from it,as this ability is a bit overpowered currently.
