I would recommend to fix the "My other guides" images both at the start and the end of the guide, as they're broken.

you said his on fiora :p lol nice guide

Hello,could you maybe add a part where you talk about when to build what?

What do you think about omnnistone with Sion? And aside of that, which keystone should I remove for when and if they apply that buff to the rune?

(45) |

Omnistone is fun, the thing about omnistone in terms of being viable is sometimes it's really good but sometimes it is also very useless, so it's just a very inconsistent rune.

what is better for you ad or ap sion what is better for climbing up

(45) |

You never want to go AP on sion, always AD/tank

is still good max e and arcane comet?

(45) |

it's still viable yeah, especially against poke lanes with no sustain such as like kennen or something like that it's great against.

ok ty :)

Can you add a build path for sion support?

(45) |

Maybe I could do this in the future, I'm not exactly sure what's optimal for support sion, but it would probably just be normal support tank items like knights vow, locket, etc..

Sion the beast to stomp towers

(45) |

heck yeah

Only complaint is that I would have liked to see a few more matchups detailed.

(45) |

Yeah, I'm in the process of updating some matchups for this guide as well as adding some new ones in.

That would be awesome

Runes #3 Arcane Comet and resolve secondary for ranged opponents and vs darius

(45) |

Eh I don't really like comet so much on Sion anymore, you're better off going glacial vs ranged or even aftershock imo because E max is super weak now.

Also vs Fiora, just hug the wall as much as you can so she cant get her 4 vitals off

can i ask about yorick match up because he was my nightmare in ranked he was Darius v2 for me so i want some help

(45) |

Honestly I never see Yorick so I can't really give any solid advice sadly, generally against yorick though he can't do much unless he has his ghouls out so if you sidestep his e's and just kill his ghouls you should be fine, and it should be pretty easy to hit Q's on him in lane to trade. I'll let you know how it goes if or when I play against a yorick as sion though.

thanks man

Hi, I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to write these kinds of comprehensive guids with actual usefull information. I have been playing for about half a year now and never played moba's before so they help me out quite a bit.
Especially the part were you in detail explain what matchups are good, and why this is the case with examples of abilities is something really helpfull.

I was wondering though, against the Lissandra matchup you advise to buy an Spirit Visage.
Can you explain why this is an good item for Sion?
(from my kinda minimal understanding you dont get much use out of the extra healing properties that Spirit Visage offers right?)

Maybe a dumb question but yea, this is my first ever moba and only been playing 6-8 months.

(45) |

Hey, thanks for the kind words. Spirit visage is still good against lissandra but I think right now going banner of command is better since the empowered minion is really hard for her to deal with. The reason spirit visage is so good vs liss though is because it gives you mr + hp as well as sustain (like 10-15 hp regen a second) since it increases healing from all sources. You can also go for an abyssal mask if you want to try to kill her.

I was wondering something with the recent Sion changes in mind.

I go banner and Zzrot and just seige their base till they realize they have to deal with me (with my mrr being pretty low as I am an newer player it can catch them off guard alot) so I need to be able to get trough waves fast once my items get purchased.

Is it an insanly dumb idea to change bicuit delivery in for minion demarerializer to offset the changes they made to Sion or is this counterprudictive or downright stupid?

I personally don't run either of those, but I'd just try experimenting with it and see how it works for you, I personally think biscuit delivery would be better then the minion thing though.
