Talk:Sion/@comment-5489694-20130405151316

I played a lot of Sion pre-30 and I absolutely hate playing him now. I never liked playing him as a mage, I usually opted for roamer/jungler and built Fratma's and what not on him, but he like completely blows as a bruiser now (or I do, not really sure). It's just so hard to make plays with him, items that were good on him were nerfed (ap and bruiser) and his kit just seems like a rusty station wagon; his kit reeally doesn't fit the game anymore I think.

His passive still has RNG in it! Gaze is still a good spell but the mana cost is to high for a dookie kit I think. Shield is aight but mage Sion is completely reliant on it and it doesn't do much for bruiser or crit-carry (people used to do that o.o) builds, I honestly have no opinion on what should be done to it for better gameplay. Enrage is a good spell still but it's to 1-dimensional and some of it's power could be transfered in to being the passive of a spell (it's sort of a big part of his character imo, kill stuff get stronger). Cannabalism sounds cool but I don't think it's all that useful in today's game, it's really good in a duel but team fights go "Bang-Bang" then chase/disengage opposed to the drawn out skirmishes back in the day and it's not that useful in "Bang-Bang" teamfights.

Dude's really been forgotten I think.

I've played sustain tank Sion from a solo lane and it was pretty good a couple times (it's like hit or miss laning as Sion now). He is pretty good if you have a tanky team with some lock down because fights aren't going to end in like 6 seconds. Honestly that's a really doodoo niche/restriction (idk which is appropriate honestly) to have.
