Depending on how the charge per second is calculated (by a percentage or flat amount) this is my response for Sion's Q base damage or AD ratior being changed:

It looks like Sion's damage is increased by 100% per second of charging. If the base AD ratio or base damage was changed, it would still increase by 100% and not make a difference.

Or:

It looks like Sion's damage is increased by 16/32/48/64/80(+52% AD) per second of charging. If the base AD ratio or base damage was changed, it would still increase by that amount and not make a difference.

The only way this would change is if the damage per second of charging was changed so that it was different based on the duration of the charge, like if the first half second was 25% then the next was 37.5% then 50% then 62.5% or something like that (that would also mean the fully charged damage would be changed as well, but that's beside the point) or if the ratio charge was different from the base damage charge. In either case the charge per each half second would likely be added in Ability Details or simply left out and the minimum / maximum damage to champions would both be considered essential and bundled under a FlipText rather than only the minimum charge damage versus champions being essential and the rest being nonessential

As for Varus, if the maximum AD ratio on his Q were reduced by 10, the same would happen in reverse. Only the minimum charge damage to the first target would be essential, the maximum damage and 33% of both previous values would be nonessential instead of the min / max charge damage to first target being FlipText and essential.

Again, I don't see this sort of change being likely to occur, and the only change is that one value would be moved from nonessential and on its own to essential and under FlipText, which, to me, does not seem like its that difficult, especially considering the likely frequency of said change's necessity of being made.
