Sion vs Mel Counter Pick

Solar Snare is what Sion has to respect. Mel’s orb roots at its centre and slows in a ring around it, and a rooted juggernaut mid-charge has lost both Decimating Smash and the exchange. Everything else in her kit is chip damage into 32 base magic resist. Across 110 recorded mid games on patch 16.13.1, a small pool, so treat the figure loosely, Sion holds 59.1%.

The distance problem is Mel’s, not Sion’s, once he has an ultimate. She attacks from 550 and moves at 330; Unstoppable Onslaught ramps speed as it travels and can be steered, and Rebuttal, a barrier that reflects projectiles and prevents damage, does nothing about a body arriving at speed. Soul Furnace is the tool that makes the approach affordable: a shield he can detonate after three seconds for magic damage, with permanent maximum health added whenever he kills something. Roar of the Slayer’s slow and armor break punish her standing still. Sion is the heavier frame at 655 health to 630, though Mel ends higher at 2,313 to his 2,134 and reaches 109.4 armor. Radiant Volley drops repeated explosions on a target area, which is the reason Sion cannot simply charge from one fixed spot. Mel is a Mage and Support by class, and against a Tank and Fighter her only reliable escape is the movement speed Rebuttal grants. Both champions carry a difficulty rating of 5.
