E scales like crap, though. Sure, you get 35 semi-reliable damage per level (it's still easy to evade), but a 40% slow plus nonscaling % armor pen make it pretty much a one point wonder. Sure, you can spam it, but at what cost? You get 5% extra slow per level and the duration doesn't scale up at all. I'd much rather get anything else as a first level up skill.

New Sion is cool because his base damage and huge AOE CC on top of extreme tankyness, which give him a pretty dangerous midgame when it comes to teamfights even with just tank items. His E is worthless for AoE CC when fighting champions, while his Q is a huge threat. I'd much rather have a 1.25 second (realistically) AoE knockup on a 6 second CD than a single target 60% slow on an 8 second cooldown.

Also, I've seen people in the PBE play Sion super aggro, which I don't really get. Play him like TF: farm till 6, gank somewhere with your ultimate, go back to farm. In between ults, just wait for a gank or just make sure to farm for your late game. It's not like most popular toplaners have a chance at killing him, since they tend to be piss poor against tanks (Irelia, hi hi).
