Sion

Sion is a top lane tank whose entire kit revolves around telegraphed but devastating crowd control. With a defense rating of 9, he is a reliable frontline pick: opponents usually see what he is about to do, yet stopping him is another matter entirely.

The core of his laning pattern is Decimating Smash, a charged swing that knocks up and stuns anyone caught in it when held long enough, and Soul Furnace, a shield that detonates for magic damage and permanently grants maximum Health for every unit he kills. This stacking makes Sion a genuinely scaling tank — the longer the game runs, the harder he becomes to remove from a fight. Roar of the Slayer adds a slow and Armor shred, and can knock a minion into enemies to extend its reach.

The truck and the second life

Unstoppable Onslaught is what defines Sion at a team level: a cross-map charge that ramps up speed, can be steered mid-flight, and knocks up everything it collides with based on distance traveled. Landing a long-range ultimate into Decimating Smash is a full engage on its own. And even death does not end his usefulness — Glory in Death grants rapid healing attacks with decaying Health, letting him trade his corpse for a tower or a kill.

Sion rewards players who enjoy macro-heavy tank play: split-pushing with impunity, engaging from unexpected angles, and turning every death into a transaction rather than a loss. His weaknesses are the flip side of his strengths — every important tool has a wind-up, so nimble opponents can sidestep the swing and the charge if he telegraphs them carelessly.
