anyone having issues with spectating? It doesn't work for me personally, but I am not sure is it just in my system or its an overall problem, since, I can't find Riot saying anything about it

What features of scion cause him to consistently have some of the best support win rates on solo queue but get no play at the pro level?

What gives him such good solo numbers?

Why doesn't that translate?

I haven't seen any numbers, but could it be that his winrate is reversely correlated with elo?

If we're looking at champion.gg, Support Sion is ranked 2 in terms of win rate, which makes you think, " wow, that's pretty impressive for a melee support" but if you scroll down more you realize that he has double digit pick rate. Compare that to standard solo queue Supports, like Thresh, Janna, Blitz, which have thousands of games play, it means that the small niche of Sion Support players are successful at an above average rate but still heavily skewing the results due to sample size. You have to also realize that the top 5 most played solo q Supports (Thresh, Janna, Blitz, Leona, Morg), four of them have rarely even graced pro play.

As for why Support Sion "works", I think it's more of a gimmick because players are not used to him. He can do a lot of damage essentially for free against unsuspecting players, whether that be a fully charged Q or E poke. He's a tanky beast that is very capable at engaging team fights mid and late game. I think it's easier to harass with Sion than it is to harass a Sion early on in bot lane because he can secure brush control. This obviously doesn't translate well into pro play because no competent bot lane pair are going to stand around to get smashed by a Q randomly.

Sion has had a top-3 winrate for about 10 patches now, so I'm not quite sure whether the sample size issue is that big.
Botlaners usually don't know how much damage he does at early levels so he can get easy leads.

10 patch duration just means Sion has the potential to work imo. It's still a small selection of players using him successfully. The general population is unaware, much less capable, of how to play against Sion Support so he has a decent win rate.

I'm of the opinion that if Support Sion was more popular (picked more in general), less capable players trying him out and failing, Sion's win rate would drop down to around where Support Naut and Braum are (high teens in ranking). But since Sion is so obscure atm, only players who actually know wtf they're doing will play him and they still maintain their surprise factor. Being a niche pick means general pop won't randomly pick this champion to go out on a test drive in ranked.

Yeah its what Neo said, its because people dont know how to play against Sion support. In my soloQ games, I notice that 2v2 botlane fights are usually end up with both sides very low HP when both pairs play it fairly well. I see quite a few Sion supports gets double kills consistently because of the surprise factor of his passive due to the unawareness of bot lane players.

did some P/B spreadsheeting...
https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/5ptdvx/week_1_pickban_across_the_4_major_regions_72/

The interesting notes include Jhin/Tahm being used everywhere except NA, and LPL liking the trundle to help counter ubertanks.

and to no-one's suprise, camille and rengar are indeed 100% P/B with LB being 97.73%

I think Jihn will be picked consistently unless he is hammered, or real late game ADC damage is brought back as a necessity. He just lets teams be so bad botlane without getting punished. If your ADC is below average, or you want mid and/or top to carry, he's your man.

Worth noting the pick ban numbers are not directly comparable to prior years due to the extra bans.

Rengar Jungle 11 77 100.00%


Can we revert his rework or just remove him from the game? He used to be a pubstomp champion too weak to be picked in competitive but now he's too strong both in competitive and in "solo" Q.

What's odd with Mao is he is clearly powerful but almost never picked/banned in the first part of the draft (from what I have been watching)

Because Mao is just really strong instead of "jesus christ, we have to play around this." strong.
