This means Sion will likely not see play in the currently most popular Discard deck featuring Jinx and Draven. However, the discard archetypes in LoR so far haven’t supported units with high attack values very well, so there might be a limit to the effectiveness of ‘granting Overwhelm to the strongest ally’ part of Sion’s kit’ – at least in the current state of things. Sion can do his straightforward job of being a huge beat-stick to close out games on its own if leveled up, but he also has the capacity to impact the game while never actually entering the field thanks to his effect when discarded. If I were to make a comparison with already existing champions, Sion could be put in the same category as Darius or Tryndamere, but he has some upside and an interesting twist: the discard mechanic. Sion is a high-costed bruiser, and his role is to close out matches thanks to his Overwhelm keyword combined with a potentially very high attack. 1.0: Unlikely to find its place in the meta.2.0: Could be used for specific synergies, or to counter some decks.3.0: A solid playable, could serve as a staple for some archetypes.4.0: Archetype staple, or auto-include in multiple archetypes.5.0: Meta-defining card, should prove itself as a staple in multiple top-tier archetypes.However, on the other hand – Sion is an expensive beat-stick – and the high-end bruisers as a type don’t have a good track record in terms of their impact on the meta.Īnyway, let’s get to the analysis and ratings! On one hand, he can abuse the explosiveness of the discard mechanic, which has been thriving in LoR for a while. ![]() Overall, I expect Sion will be tough to evaluate and get right because he mixes two good concepts that aren’t necessarily always go well together. In this article, I will start by rating the champion, then share a theorycraft that attempts to make his gameplay dream into a reality and finish with ratings for all the other cards revealed. Hey, den here! I’m excited to analyze the new Noxus champion that was spoiled today – Sion. ![]()
