I dont think you've ever played ap sion lol. Most mages do around 190-200% of their ap in their full 5 ability combo. Sion does 180% in just two. The problem with ap sion is that people know how to play against him in mid. Play a ranged champ and dont get stunned. That's why he really only works in bronze-low silver play. In fact, I played ap sion from silver V to silver III before i met people who could deal with him. Then it was like, okay I cant play ap sion anymore. He actually does really good damage if you can get it off. He has two bailities that do 300 BASE DAMAGE WHICH IS INSANE FOR MIDS. It's just that he can be easily kited and focused so he doesnt get his shield detonated as it has a delay before you can detonate the shield. And if you're feeling adventurous you could even go lichbane and get another 85-90% of your ap in with an auto so now he does around 270% of his ap in a full q-w-aa combo. And he can also splitpush like a mother with his ult, which is really all it's good for. Sometimes it helps you win fights, sometimes it doesnt since lifesteal isnt particularly nice on AP sion.
