AP bruiser Sion is suprisingly good, having huge success with him even against diamond players. His lane is amazing and bases are so big it's just funny. He can waveclear for days and slowly grind enemy top down until he can just burst him. He wins against Liss, against Vlad, against Aatrox, against Maokai, he just feels unstoppable. Now I wonder if Riot left these scalings on purpose so that you can play him as a kind of AP tank. You're not even losing anything compared to AD Sion; you have the same amount of utility (even more cosidering you have access to Rylai, Zhonya's, Liandry's and so on) and way better lane with comparable teamfighting capabilities. I wouldn't even call it a "trollbuild"; From my perspective, a 'trollbuild' is something like AP Aatrox where you literally don't gain anything over it's AD counterpart; but Sion is the reverse, AD version of him doesn't gain anything over AP. Magic damage is even harder to build against and noone can do anything against your lane presence. It's just like playing pre-nerf Season one AP Sion, only with WAY BETTER lane and fucking ridiculous teamfights.

On a side note, I don't mean something like full AP rabadons rush Sion because scalings aren't really allowing you to do that, usually I build something like seekers/null into Liandry's and Zhonya's/Abbysal/Rylai's.
