Cait doenst bring much to the table in early / midgame teamskirmishes other then her autoattack. Cant really get bruisers of yourself, you need lategame to dominate.

Early game skirmishes dont matter that much when the other ad carry is underfarmed. Also traps.

Theres alot more elements to it ofcourse. Lets just say that most of the other AD carrys add a little more to teamfights early on then Cait. Im a caitplayer myself tho, if u can passive farm all game you become godlike. I do like her, but its harder to get back into a game for example with her if you are behind, farm farm farm farm.

Question if anyone would care to answer it. Is AP sion better than AD sion, if so why or why not.? It has kind of divided the group of people I play with. (AD sion being like 3 PDs IE BT and GA)
I think that AP sion is better since the ratios are 0.9 which is sweet and you have a ranged nuke and you are fairly tanky with massive shield and lichbane proc lifesteal, they argue that your ult is amazing on ad sion and you can't die ever and that the E gives you a bunch of free stats for ad. But I think that that means you walk up get cc'd die whereas with ap you can walk up dfg stun have shield and not die so fast.
I reject your reality and substitute my own

Fully equipped, I'd rather have AD Sion because he doesn't ever die, but in fact, chances are you won't ever get him there against competent players. He's no threat at all till late game, while AP Sion can influence the game easily by pushing+roaming. I'd rather have a competent AP Sion on my team.
currently rooting for myself.

I feel like it's easier to get farmed on AP. Big unkillable shield that one shots every minion in the wave, and good burst and ganking potential. AD I feel like is okay if you get farm, but you do get kited around without a gap closer, and some CC pretty much instantly locks you down if you build that squishy.

Imo AP Sion better early game, but late game AD Sion is way stronger.

Thing is it hard to get AD Sion into the late game without being underfarmed.

And when I say AD Sion late game I mean like 5-6 items... before that AP better at pretty much everything.

AP Sion: Great Laning, Great Farming, Great Early, Terrible Late

Ad Sion: Terrible Laning, Terrible Farming, Terrible Early, Great Late

Pick your poison.

they're both boring

Terrible late game? I don't really know about that. Of course there are AP:s that are LOT better, but still. DFG + Q + W is still pretty much a killed carry, and at least on my level staying alive with Sion late is pretty easy, compared to some AP:s.

All your damage pretty much mitigated by being focused briefly.

Compare that to say and Ahri who can deal more single target burst damage and all of her abilities are AoE at the same time. Compared to every other AP carry late game/Sions early game strength he fall off late.

I got a friend to watch the current OGN match with me. He asked if there was a difference between which skins were being chosen.

That got me thinking, what if Riot indeed made each skin different (more than cosmetically)? Like give one skin +5 AP, another +1% ms, etc. Would the sales of skins increase? Decrease? Would people protest? Does Riot have any official stance on this matter?

Most people would be really pissed at them selling power. Riot has already come out strongly against doing such a thing.

I would call AP Sion hands down the worst lategame AP in the game.You will never get a shield pop off against a squishy vs anyone who knows how to teamfight, leaving you with a single target 550 range stun nuke with a .9 ratio as your only purpose. Flat out awful. As APsion you rely on getting your team a massive advantage in the midgame by winning all 3 lanes at once, if that fails to work spectacularly you become worthless in a hurry.

They could get away with selling skins with power if they sold them with IP instead of RP-only.

In that case it would really just be another rune slot with the side effect of alienating people who already bought cosmetic-only skins.

Everyone would hate it.

People who actually only free to play would be pissed because they are weaker than paying players.

People who buy skins for looks would be pissed because they are forced to play with the skin with the best stats.

Riot pissed because only the one or two best skins for a character would ever be bought and they cant make new skins.

everyone loses

Those kinds of small customisations are exactly what masteries are for, anyway.

But you don't pick masteries because the icon is pretty or it makes funny sounds. And you don't pay for it either.

Skins giving bonuses would be the worst idea ever. I think their system of skins just being cosmetic is the best.
LoL EuW: Zhiroo - By starting this squabble you've proven nothing but how vast your stupidity is.
