While I agree AP Sion is under rated, I think you are underestimate Nasus A LOT xD. Nasus has sustain, less mana problems and more range than Sion. I have no idea how Sion could be a better top than Nasus lol

And again, if you're talking about AP Sion top, try AP Nasus top and come tell me your comments about it after :P


Sion has more damage early game then Nasus, isn't dependent on farm as much as Nasus is, and tbh is probably better then Nasus 1v1 up until Nasus is farmed as ****, so basically all game l0l. Nasus doesn't have more sustain, especially post 6. Nasus only has range if you max SF first, which is just gimping all of your damage and doing nothing for you...? Sion can max shield which allows him to push whenever he wants as well as absorb a ton of damage at least, or can max e if he's not being harassed or is in an easy matchup. Sion scales well into late (almost as good as Nasus does) but is more useful then Nasus during every other stage of the game.

Pre 6 Nasus has definitly more sustain. He has Soul Eater, while Sion hurts himself with Enrage. Well, I still play jungle Sion for the poof effect.

I'll have to try it but as I said I feel like Nasus has less mana issues and more reliable laning phase. And maxing Spirit Fire first is really strong lol

And I really think Nasus scales much better into late game. By the way Nasus beats the **** out of Sion 1v1 because of his Wither

if you dont mind spending 15~20 more minutes farming so you can be effective, do whatever you want.


As requested to GMD himself.

I agree that AP xin is legit.

Got unofficial penta kill and second quadra in that game :3
Ap xin has damn good early game, due his abilities. I had sort of trouble at mid game, but late game is again much better. I basically took both nexus towers alone without minions and didn't even loose hp :D

500 HP every third basic attack with 2.5 attack speed. OP
