New Sion is weird :< I haven't put much time into him but his Q feels so awkward on a melee champion, and having to stop to cast his E is ugh. It does pretty nice damage though early on.

Ah of course, the old pour money and resources to make a champion not good trick.

Well, to be fair, Riot has said over and over that the point of a rework isn't to make a champion amazeballs but to change the playstyle to something they could balance correctly and then balance from there. They don't really have a target strength in mind other than "Oh dear lore we need to hotfix this."

To be honest I think it just sounds hilariously foil hat to suggest they don't want the new Sion to be good. It's also pretty reckless to make these judgement's on less then a day of him being live. It's absurd. Unless something is quite obviously out of the norm or bugged I'm more inclined to see it settle and see what happens. At the very least it can't be worse then old Sion who's entire roll ranged from "hit my shield or I kill you" or.. I'm farm for 30 minutes and then I can be useful.

So after checking some champ's wiki's, I found this about Malzahar:
Malefic Visions is a single target damage over time ability that deals magic damage every 0.5 seconds.

Applies spell effects as a damage over time ability.
Hextech Revolver item.png Spell vamp is fully applied.
Rylai's Crystal Scepter item.png Rylai's Crystal Scepter will apply a 15% slow.
Magic damage will be mitigated by magic shields.
Banshee's Veil item.png Spell shields will not block the ability.


Either Rylai's or Hextech application seems to be wrong here, or can someone explain to me why it is like it is.

Because rylais also has a lesser slow for damage over time abilities.

Sion is probably the first true melee carry in LoL since Nasus. Probably more so than Nasus actually. But man his base stats are tiny, lol. I guess that's fair though, I like the different power curve.

I not sold on him as a jungler, but we'll see what next season brings as far as jungle changes first.

Spellvamp is 100% for single target DoTs. Rylai's is penalized for single target DoTs.

My first impression of Sion, after seeing him in a few games, is that he's similar to Nasus, real weak early and real strong late.

Except maybe even more of each.


His new HP scaling is ridiculous. Not only does he only have to level 1 point to get full benefits from his HP stacking, but he gets more HP from kills than he used to and double dips in HP since you have to kill him twice every single time.

And his infinite scaling stat is one that scales with building tanky items which is obviously what he wants.

Thing is right now (and for the forseeable future), shitty early game awesome late game solo laners are no good.

his passive is pretty awful imo, losing all of your skills means that they just kite you for 2 seconds while your health drops superfast. other than that i really like him

Nasus is really not that weak in the early game, have you ever watched sirchez play him?

your death animation is a GA type thing that lasts long enough that unless your opponent is afk or forgets about your passive it really is almost useless.

overall sion's kit is basically 100% reliant on your team landing hard cc or the opponent not paying attention. Q and R are both super telegraphed and easily dodged while teams can just pop your W before you get in range so that it does 0 damage.

but since most people are terrible he will probably crush solo queue once people get better with him and stop trying to long distance ult and max channel his Q because he does seem to do a ton of damage if people get hit by your skillshots.

No. Who watches these people?

Edit: Lol. I cant even read the PBE notes anymore. Just wait till S5 and see if Ori, Jax, and Kog are still playable I guess.

Who is a better late game (6 items) melee top than Nasus?

Edit: And Poppy doesn't count.

Because in at least 90% of fighting situations, and that's being generous to you, Hydra doesn't work on her.
