AP sion works well up until the point that the opposing team realizes that AP sion is hard countered by damage. >_>

No shield, no damage


people say that, but the shield is so fat that if you position yourself right so people cant break it or at worst you will just have it broken and then can back out of the teamfight for the 3 seconds it takes to regen and they just wasted a huge amount of damage. I played veigar and other squishy as shit AP's for a long time before sion so playing him just feels so easy, the damage that pops the shield on sion would kill veigar, and many times sions stun is better than veigars for escape. I just avoid 1v3's and I can deal absurd damage.

In lane its literally impossible to break after level 2 if you use it properly, its range is large and when people go for the 2 skill pop you can just stun them in between the two skills, pop the shield on them and then back away before they even come out of stun.
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

every game every fight focus sion. Even if he's not doing well it's the number one priority, focus him and kite him, ad or ap it's how you shut him down.

it doesn't help that sion's only objective is to burst one guy down, and that he is faster than your entire with boots of mobility, and that you can't do anything to stop flash over wall -> DFG, stun, shield break.

outside of that, sion is actually completely shit useless in teamfights because he can't move through 4 people to pop his shield without having it break.

No, it's not. Good luck focusing ashe in the back of the fight down.

Sion is specifically vulnerable to it and rapes you if you don't do it.

Except that spell vamp is only useful to a minority of characters. Frequently your ap carry will be the only character who really benefits since most junglers, toplanes, ad carries, and supports dont get much use out of the stat. On some team comps its really good but on most its kinda meh.

Pretty much every champion in the entire game gets decent to good use out of 30 AP and 25 (8 on AoE)% damage converted to life. The only possible exceptions are champions like Xin Zhao, Lee Sin and Garen, but even for them the healing is more than nothing. On your average team, at least 2 and potentially 3 people are going to benefit from both parts of the aura, and that's ridiculous.

Except when you keep dying to place them.

All abilities benefit from spellvamp, even if they do physical damage. It's not like it's wasted on anyone. Nearly every champ in the entire game has some type of AP scaling ability, except maybe garen lol, and every single champ has abilities. It's just it benefits AP users more since, what do you know, they use the AP the most! Doesn't mean WotA isn't any less retardedly good.

edit: Okay, now I'm sure some TLers like ScY cause he is a TLer but.........has ScY ever won a lane before...........? I've seen his play on sooo many streams and I don't think I've ever seen him win a lane. =/

It's just weird how long it's taking for this item's stupidity to be generally known, it's been dumb for sooooo long. I think it's because it wasn't as visibly absurd as gunblade used to be so it spent a long time in it's shadow.

eh iunno Aegis seems to be kinda mediocre compared to what WotA and Stark's give. Ironically it's the one that sees the most use.

How does it seem mediocre? WotA/Starks benefit 2 maybe 3 people on your team. Aegis benefits everyone with free Armor/MR.

WotA gives everyone 25% spellvamp which can be used by anyone who spams active abilities which is...everyone. Starks more niche I agree, but the +30 health regen aura by itself is silly; not even mentioning the aspd, lifesteal, and minus armor aura. For comparison, Philo only gives +18 health regen, regrowth is +15.

oh hey my 3k post. Imma high templar now. STORMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
