Why the fuck do you people play AP sion? It doesn't make sense to me.

Yes, it's good. I'm not denying that. But in two equally skilled players (assuming both of them are actually fucking good), AD sion trounces everything. His melee normal goes around critting for 800 late game with ridiculous attack speed and life steal, add in his ult and it's just retarded. AP is great early game, and it's harder to play and stay alive with AD. But if you CAN, what the fuck is happening.

My favorite way to play sion is actually as a support, with soul shroud aegis etc

how did I discover this l33t build (which is now known)? simple, a long time ago I went 0-17 with lolz jungle ad sion, had literally nothing but wriggles, boots and something else at 45 minutes. hardest I have ever gotten crushed in any game. Even playing vs q3 pros I did not fail this hard. happily opponents were so bad my team somehow struggled against my heavy heavy weight to achieve only a severe disadvantage.

i decided i would never achieve any meaningful amount of ap or ad so I just sold my shit and started buying support items and instantly became a valuable member of the team. it does not matter how worthless you are otherwise, 2 second stun on a 4.8 second cooldown is some serious fucking cc

Now imagine that stun had a 1:1 ap ratio. And this hypothetical character had some way to shield himself from damage so he could get that stun off. But what if he could use the shield to do damage too? And say, lets give it a 1:1 ap rato just for the lulz. But he doenst have enough survivability, so lets give him a spell that makes him gain health when he kills things. Thanks to his hypothetical shield, he can 1 shot minion waves, and get lots of health! Seems like a great character to go ap on to me!

I am well aware of how good ap is... it's up to what build best benefits your team obviously.

The support/tanky build is good though, believe it.

In other news I've started to build for more insta-gibbing with Sion and now make Deathcap -> Void Staff -> DFG -> Lich Bane and it's really fucking hilarious how hard his SURPRISE BUTTSEHKS! combo hits with a DFG and Lich Bane in there.

Surprise, every 100% offense AP build at 12000 gold hits hard.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

smash what's your experience going against shen solo top?
from my side of things (as shen) i've yet to have a problem with sion because vorpal + one ki strike will almost always pop shield (assuming equal levels) and so you burn mana just trying to prevent damage without actually dealing it. and when shield is down i can vorpal harass for an even bigger advantage. you can't trade hits because of the cooldown reduction Ki strike and you can't farm either. have you had this matchup at all?
