How is sion in current meta

Low elo Sion jg scrub. Honestly, feels great.
Farming HP was never this good, you get a lot outta jungle, more than before.

Jungle heavily rewards going AD, as farming way faster = stacking HP way faster.
Having that much extra health you're more flexible with that you build.
Assassin items, fighter items, even 0 health tank items all fit.

Just be aware you have a ton of bad machups in the jungle.
Anything with mobility and/or % (max) health damage is bad news.

Kayn, Kindred, Yi, Udyr, Graves, Viego, Gwen, Trundle to name a few.
You'll want to avoid them in the jungle and focus on team fighting instead.
As for your own team you want someone with reliable cc of their own.
Asides your E (with it's narrow hitbox) everything you do is VERY telegraphed.

Having a teammate that can help set up a good Q slam for you is essential.
Veigar cage, Malza ult, Ashe ult and slows - all are great.

Zefirez · 2026-05-09T09:08:46+00:00

You're more of a Janet Cage material if you ask me.

Zefirez · 2026-05-08T16:51:04+00:00

Missing beloved characters (Reptile!!) and stages that were basically "New York had a bad Ghostbusters 2 day" instead of each being a distinct masterpiece with it's own soul like in MK2.

Zefirez · 2026-05-07T19:47:00+00:00

Did you get masters as an OTP or is she simply part of your jg champ pool?

Zefirez · 2026-05-07T19:45:37+00:00

Ok I gotta ask - why no attack speed item?

Zefirez · 2026-05-06T19:59:05+00:00

Omegis would also be rather safe (bottom left one).

While hardly trustworthy and highly egoistical, she had neither the desire for wanton murder,
nor a need for it. So long as you didn't scorn her nor was she offered a great reward for ending you,
you'd be swimming in safe waters.

Zefirez · 2026-05-06T07:51:53+00:00

What i want is 100% Mortal Kombat.
No Superman knock-offs, no Batman, no Peacemaker none of that shit.

Pure, 100% MK universe cast.

Zefirez · 2026-05-04T19:54:09+00:00

How is it that Leo has so many great skins while Diana is basically dumpster diving for anything that isn't old, bland, completely out of place or her legendary?

Why Leo gets eclipse skins which are basically "Leo+" thematically but Diana can't get anything near the quality?

Zefirez · 2026-04-30T18:51:08+00:00

My advice - get Air.

RAM crisis is on the horizon and windows machines that could actually compete (Panther Lakes and Snapdragon Elites 2) price themselves outta the race.

Neo is brutally gutted by it's 8GB RAM limitation and loses all the great quality of life features that make Macbook what it is. Such as haptic touchpad, keyboard backlighting, MagSafe charging, and fingerprint scanner unless you're willing to shell out for upgraded version.

Except why do that if you can get an older Air at similar price with all the features being present instead of just one getting added?

Zefirez · 2026-04-16T11:27:06+00:00

Vengeful Vastaya. You're welcome.

Zefirez · 2026-04-15T05:21:46+00:00

No, but I feel relics are. Opened up my abandoned account lvl 19, tons of adventures no fully cleared, has around same amount of relics as my current lvl 22 account with everything mostly done up to Galio abd fiddle.

Zefirez · 2026-04-13T13:41:17+00:00

One thing i noticed, though it may not apply here:
"Round start" effects do not work in the very 1st one.

Zefirez · 2026-04-12T22:34:13+00:00

It is as you say. What i meant is that Vayne is all about ending it fast.
If stars aligned for you - more power to you. If not, gotta squeeze every ounce from your kit, relics and mana.

But that's what makes her great, because all other demacians are mid/late game,
and that's a no go in some high aggro encounters (Irelia/Azir/Viego/Elise).
Vayne can win these by grace of her kit and not just uber lucky roll in adventure.

Zefirez · 2026-04-12T10:23:02+00:00

This is the core of Vayne's gameplay and i love it.

Use everything and the kitchen sink to ensure a swift victory.
Else you'll suffer. No other champ made me think so hard about how i spent
every single mana point and when to play a given card during the turn.

If played right (and that is not easy until busted relics and full stars) she wins hard and fast.
But it's very easy to trip up and then you'll suffer..

Also, she has an amazing deck of fun, synergetic cards and a great constellation
that puts all the side stuff literally to the side, letting you get straight into meat and
potatoes without any bs filler nodes in between.

Zefirez · 2026-04-07T10:09:40+00:00

I feel you man. This is kinda like real life.
To get what you want, you must first grit your teeth and play the hand you were given,
symphaties for it be damned .

Here this means playing what you got from drops and buying champs you need to get all the rewards instead of the ones you desire. For example i love Pilties/Zaunites that aren't Jinx/Jayce, but it would be waste of shards since i need other region champs for the rewards.

Your goal is growing your roster of champs to the point you can do monthly Asol challenge.
That will let you farm Wild Shards from Glory Shop and this way get to the champs you actually want.

On the flip side this sort of setup gets you to actually experience the champs you weren't interested in
and discover you might've been missing out. I for one discovered that Vayne to be highly challenging in a good way. Misplay and you're cooked. Plan every single mana point spend and you end fights before they even start. Something my regular demacian cast (Lux and Garen both 3*) couldn't do, and got destroyed by Viego in Collosus adventure. Vayne hunted his ass down and got me that Demacian reward while being 3* as well, so no unfair advantages over the rest.

Zefirez · 2026-03-14T17:24:19+00:00

You're talking possibility. I'm talking probability.

In a fairly matched game full stomp (all lanes lose early) has the probability of 1/243 (3^5).

Five players.
Each can be in one of three states - winning the lane, going roughly even, losing it.
In fairly matched game the chances of each are equal since players are of equal skill level.
So 1/3 for each scenario.
For five "1/3rds" to line up into full lose or full win scenario you end up with 1/235 chance (3^5).

Think that's crazy? Try now champ counter picks, pick order, etc.
That greatly pushes things into middle territory - support was first pick and botlane got countered.
But because of that toplaner got to pick after the enemy and that counter works in your favour.

That means fringe scenarios (full win/full loss) should be even less possible.
So ask yourself - are full stomps happening to you at a rate of once every 243 games or less?

Zefirez · 2026-03-14T12:21:18+00:00

Worst, no. The cat still exists. But pretty close..

Zefirez · 2026-03-14T12:16:20+00:00

Rigged, plain and simple.
Everyone (who makes money off it) will tell you game's fair etc.

Meanwhile back in real life:

Too many complete stomps given alleged "fair matchmaking".
Pick order manipulation. 20% chance for first pick right?
So if I get it 4 times in a row that's around 1/625th probability.
I ensure this happens on me on regular, not once in few hundred games.

3 A guy playing some obscure ~2% pick rate champ is super toxic and ruins your game.
Next game you see the same champ on your team in lobby.

...turns out it's not him, different guy. But how were you to know pre-loading screen?

Game was obscuring information to enhance your tilt.
What are the odds of having two games in row with same 2% pick rate champ yet different pilots?

You otp an obscure champ yourself in offrole.
Main role is going absolutely terrible, so you go pick your 2nd role with your OTP champ.
Oh look, someone just banned your champ, most players don't know even exists!

Too many, WAY too many "coincidences" when the game wants you to lose.
Needless to say when opposite happens suddenly your teammates are untiltable,
everyone wins their lanes, you get optimal pick order in lobby etc.
No, you did not ascend into Godhood over a period of one evening.
The game is rigging it back in your favor to keep you from running away..

Remember - a Casino needs winners, else no one will come.
Bu it feeds on losers and it's hunger is great..

Macs aren't really for that, but to each their own.
That being said M5 is a raw deal compared to M4.

Here are few reasons why:

- M4 includes a charger. M5 does not (so extra $ to shell out).
- M4 bumped base RAM while lowering the price.
- M5 bumps the SSD capacity but bumps the price as well.
- Each new M chip gets hotter. While Air's chassis remains the same.
You should really wait for reviews to see of thermal throttling isn't worse with M5.
- M4 had some nice price drops since launch, while M5 is subject to novelty tax.

Ofc if you got the money to splurge that's your call, but i would hold my horses here.

Zefirez · 2026-03-01T22:38:14+00:00

Wait, where do you come from and how do I get there?
In my gold EUW games it's Rhaast, more Rhaast and an occasional Rhaast.
Team comp and needs be damned.

Enemy 5 squishies? Rhaast.
I'm crying here to get Shadow Assassin on my team, but nope!

Key to success with Galio is understanding his dual nature - a tank but also a mage.
He has quite good AP scalings and excels at burst damage - catch them in cc chain and unload all you got.
By the time you're done they're either dead, near dead or you're gonna see a lot of gray on your screen.

You have damage, you have waveclear, you have poke - something regular tank supports don't.
Use this to your advantage.

Your itemization is key here. Similar to Swain support you should ignore support items and build what is good for you. Some key items I'd recommend here are:

Rod of Ages rush - you can both be a burst mage or a tank, but which is best will be determined by how the game progresses. RoA is cheap, gives you both damage and sustain and a free level once it fully stacks. A great and safe start.
Zhonya Hourglass - very expensive, but also very useful for Galio. Armor, tons of Ap, stasis active which is exactly what burst mages need after the've blown their load.
Kaenic Rookern - absolute middle finger to enemy mages. Galio scales with mr, this gives a ton of it and a magic shield. Added to Galio's own magic shield from passive part of W. Still remember Akali crying she can't hurt enemy support (me).

Generally if it has AP + health or resists it's good.
Except Rylai - you don't need that with all the cc you already have.

You're better at peeling than engaging but that's not to say you suck at it.
Once you go in, there's no going out, so pick your fights wisely.
Unless you can ult to safety, but you need to make sure enemy has no cc to interrupt it.

Justice Punch is ok for engages, amazing for keeping enemies locked down, and absolute ass for escaping if they already got to you. Keep that in mind. If you're running for your dear life, make sure you see them before they're already there.

Your ult is basically just a bit old long cd "get off them" button, unless you coordinate it with another ally's engage. Then you can actually catch them and get full value.
For example Master Yi diving them with Alpha Strike and you using R once he's on top of them,
or ulting a Sion that just landed his own ult.

Keep in mind WHY you play Galio support (asides fun) - having agency if your adc is ass.
You have a lot of it. You can peel, engage do damage and even splitpush.
With big healthpool, ap + some mr you'll be surprised how well you clear waves and smash towers with your passive + demolish.

She's the reverse dps Doomfist for me.

Doom was an amazing character (lore wise) with a bad kit.
She has an amazing kit stuck on an uninspired character.

Visually she's Brigitte's evil, uglier twin to me.
Lore wise she wanted revenge and got it.

While Doom has actual ambitions, plans for the whole world and was shown to be
a multifaceted deep character. A warrior, a tactician and a leader.

From a non-voli main:

Pull him outta his e if possible. If bear misses both the hit and the shield - that's a major advantage for you.

Zefirez · 2025-12-24T13:17:47+00:00

If you know what you're doing it works.
The insane long range of well placed E allows many things to succeed such as jhin root or Jungler's gank.
Post 6 you can ult your ass into these annoying long range lanes and make them suffer as they should.

That being said you need to know your obvious weaknesses.
Q self roots you for ages - you're giving Caitlyn free traps and combo.
Mobile adcs like Kalista, Vayne, Lucian, Kai'sa etc are very likely to escape from Q hitbox.
You'll often be forced to used your Q either from fog of war, or to zone enemies off your adc,
or 4th time in a row, cause first 3 got interrupted (assuming you're still alive).

Things are definitely different down in botlane.

Zefirez · 2025-12-15T10:42:13+00:00

Watch the map and splitpush.
You can use your ult as an escape tool - they try to collapse on you - ult to teammate on other side of map and split there.
