Is it the champ or do I just suck?
Hi! Bronze Sion player here! I wanted to ask experimented Sion players a question. Not necessarily super high elo, but people who know their way around wave management, timers and all that stuff. I like my boy Sion very much. In fact, I think he's kinda the only champion who's aesthetics, lore and theme I truly like, so that's why I play him. However, I can't seem to be able to stop having just an awful time playing Sion. Every time a queue up, I get counter picked with a sett, volibear, darius, tahm kench, trundle, or any of the other dozens of champs that destroy Sion. From that point, the early is just contemplating as my champ struggles helplessly while my opponent kills me and emotes. Usually, by the time the laning phase is over, the enemy team is too fed to do much either.
So, my question is: I'm fully aware of my limitations as a player. I can't for the life of me understand wave management and I have tons of micro mistakes. But, is it just my lack of skill? Or is Sion a horribly weak early champ? Should I just git gud with Sion? Or should I pick a stronger champ for laning phase and try to learn fundamentals that way? (Without an enemy champion destroying my face, that is.)
