If I'm not mistaken, Cleanse and QSS do not cleanse healing reduction. So the healing reduction from ignite/executioners or katarina/tristana/miss fortune will stay even if you cleanse, making your ult half as effective. After that, you're pretty much screwed if they have even one cc.

As an AP, he can be decent, but again, he just seems outclassed by every other AP caster in the game, which all do more damage than he does. I guess he's more tanky, but it won't matter because you're not building MR and Armor anyway. I mean, Ryze is tanky with RoA, and is much more effective in teamfights than Sion is.

As a hybrid, Sion really gets the worst of both worlds, whereas hybrid Jax, Kog, Kayle, and Teemo benefit largely from AP/AS. As Sion, you basically have to focus on AD/AS or AP, not both.
