How to beat Sion

Common role: Top

An unstoppable tank who charges across the map to knock up your whole team.

What makes Sion dangerous

Sion charges up a knock-up stun (Q), a shield-slam (W), and his ultimate is an unstoppable charge across the map that knocks up and stuns everyone he crashes into. On death his passive lets him keep fighting as a raging zombie. He's a hard-engage frontline that starts fights from screens away.

How to play against Sion

• 1Dodge his charged Q — the longer he charges, the longer the stun. Sidestep it and interrupt him if you can.
• 2His ultimate is a wide unstoppable charge — sidestep to the flank so he can't line it up on your team, and it can be steered but not stopped.
• 3On death he becomes a temporary zombie — don't waste focus on the passive form; back off and let it expire.
• 4Low personal damage as a tank — % health and magic damage beat his armor, and kiting avoids his short-range slam.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Charged Q and ult are dodgeable/steerable-only.
• ✓Low damage outside his combo — a peel/engage tank.
• ✓% health and magic damage beat his armor.
• ✓Zombie passive is temporary — don't feed it focus.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Sion's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Gloire posthume

  Après avoir été tué, Sion revient temporairement à la vie, mais ses PV diminuent rapidement. Ses attaques deviennent très rapides, soignent Sion et infligent des dégâts supplémentaires en fonction des PV max de la cible.

• Q
  Fracas meurtrier

  Sion charge un coup puissant qui s'abattra dans une zone devant lui, infligeant des dégâts aux ennemis quand il relâche l'attaque. S'il charge assez longtemps, il projettera en l'air et étourdira les ennemis touchés.

  Strong: a charged knock-up stun — the longer the charge, the longer the stun. Weak: dodge it and interrupt the charge if you can.

• W
  Feu intérieur

  Sion s'entoure d'un bouclier et peut réactiver la compétence au bout de 3 sec pour infliger des dégâts magiques aux ennemis proches. Quand Sion tue des ennemis, ses PV max sont passivement augmentés.

• E
  Cri du tueur

  Sion envoie une courte onde de choc qui blesse et ralentit le premier ennemi touché tout en réduisant son armure. Si l'onde de choc atteint un sbire ou un monstre, celui-ci est projeté vers l'arrière : tous les ennemis qu'il touche subissent des dégâts, sont ralentis et perdent de l'armure.

• R
  Assaut inarrêtable

  Sion charge dans une direction, accélérant peu à peu. Il peut légèrement changer de trajectoire en déplaçant le curseur de la souris. Quand il percute un ennemi, il lui inflige des dégâts et le projette en l'air en fonction de la distance parcourue par sa charge.

  Strong: an unstoppable map-wide charge that knocks up and stuns whoever he hits. Weak: sidestep to the flank — it can be steered but not stopped, so don't line up in front of it.

Itemization

Sion is a hard-engage tank. Play % health and magic damage, dodge his charged Q and steer clear of his ult's line, and don't waste damage on his death passive. Kite and focus his carries.
