Sion Currently one of the strongest top laners in League of Legendsbut according to Andrei “Meddler” van Roon, Riot’s lead game designer, Sion’s strength comes mainly from one or two bugs.
It all started from Patch 8.3, when Riot fixed a few bugs of this champion, making Sion significantly stronger. Changes include: making minions pushed by E invulnerable, Q’s cooldown partially restored if Sion is interrupted midway, and some permanent health gain issues from W skills and passive. In order to fix the E skill, the development team decided to build this skill from scratch, but another error occurred.
According to Meddler, now the width of the pushed minions is much larger than expected, giving Sion “more noticeable power”. This bug will be fixed in Patch 8.5 next week, but will Sion really stop being “heavy”?
To answer this question we must first acknowledge one fact: Sion was very strong even before these bugs appeared in patch 8.3 and he will still be just as strong once the bug is fixed. But of course still a little weaker than now.
Between patch 7.24 and 8.2, Sion’s win rate was between 51 and 53 percent, according to the League of Legends stats page. Champion.gg. With this win rate, Sion has entered the top 10 top laners of the NA server. After updating to 8.3, this number increased to 54%, but it is also because Sion was very strong before.
Once the bug is fixed, maybe Sion’s win rate will drop a bit to 52% but still be higher than 25 out of 51 top laners with a win rate of 49-50% including meta champions like Camille , Illaoi, Malphite, and Gangplank. It is possible that Sion will no longer have a 54-55% win rate but still be above average, and it is also possible that this fix may not affect Sion’s win rate even a bit.
Gameworld.vn will continue to provide further information about the upcoming 8.5 update of the game League of Legends.
