He's commented on it. His subs while winning with other champions are noticeably lower than losing with Sion. It gets even worse in the breakdown though. He can play Sion straight, he has played Sion straight. He's won while playing Sion like he should be played, to great effect. But the money is lower there too. He's just hosed. People want to see him play Sion the way he used to play Sion, and the nerf made sure he can't. He's in a catch-22. Try to salvage inting Sion somehow, which is what people pay him for, or climb and not have money to live on. He's not in general happy with it.

Thebaus really leaned into the meta riot created with hullbreaker, demolish, split pushing. I don't think it was a good meta, but he found one of the best ways to take advantage of it. Which is exactly what you should do if you're looking to go challenger right? He still has very good Sion mechanics and macro, the only real question is if he could get more value out of other picks now that the core of the Sion strategy is dead. I just think his play style is still too anchored in the old meta, he needs to change it up or change champion. Also dunno about the Voli ults in this game, he seems to just press it on cooldown >_

That's what they nerfed in the durability patch.

[@jamilangon5798]

I wish riot revamp the economy side of the game. Apply secure gold (from takedowns) and unsecured gold (minions and neutral monsters). The secure gold wont be lost if champ dies and unsecure gold reduced depending on lvl (like 80%-20% the less gold lost as you lvl up). You need to base and buy items (unsecured gold will be spent before secure gold). It will induce a more aggressive plays like if someone is getting more CS, support or jg punish that person to deny gold meaning there is no farming bonanza on pro games and end game like minimal deaths and all farming all game and ending for 1 baron play. That will kill this inting Sion for sure.

[@yGKeKe]

The nerfs didn't change what makes the champion annoying though. The champion can still infinitely stack hp (Which btw, makes sunfire a god tier item on him now), can still becoming an unkillable 1v5 machine and can still enable the other four players on the team to go take objectives freely, etc. Sure, it's harder to get the early gold because you can't just keep face smashing the turrets after you die...but that was never the main issue with the strategy lol. The issue was that if you even managed to fucking kill him in the first place, he would just 1v5 your team AFTER he died. I mean shit, he literally only lost this game because of heimer.

Just had a really funny moment. He said "I promise not to die", I fast forward 3 times, he was dying.

So glad a champ that rewards inting exists

Try playing him and see how rewarded you are simpleton

the score popups are emotes "CANWIN" and "CANTWIN" basically just making fun of baus kda

imagine having 1 person that enjoys playing your game and streaming it and so u gut his champions and make him depressed and now bauss is like every other league player, playing because theyre so deep not because they enjoy it

A thief's Diary date: Satursday 7.16 weather: Cloudy and humid 3:00 am Today is the day for me to choose the next target, as a professional thief, I have been to several neibourhoods and stole many lucrative stuffs. after 2 hours travelling I have finally reached the target house, the information I have gathered stated that the man who is living here is a league streamer whose name is thebauffs. it's such a great time now for me to start my crime, since I know the streamer should now be asleep, I expertly picked the lock and entered into the house calmly. When I entered thebauffs living room, I saw thebauffs' sleeping face. I suddenly realized, even though I have been a professional thief for a long time and have stole many stuffs, it's my first time to be stolen by someone else, my heart had been stolen.

I don't like nerfs like this because it just gets rid of creativity. You have a GOD AWFUL champ like sion and someone found a way to make him useful and you nerf it. Personally I hated it but it still shits on creativity

[@larkiess]

This strategy is just unfun to play against. Too many bad players were elo boosted by it

[@sharkin4867]

@@larkiess super unfun, but no one is getting elo boosted by the pick lmao

[@fatterguy8443]

@@larkiess Many players showed ways to Counter this Playstyle, but since they barely see it many just get mad, or confused, the Nerf was unnecessary especially after Buffs to Bruisers.

[@Epicsavant2]

@@larkiess for sure. Absolutely hated it. But it doesnt matter. It took skill to be good at it and then they said "too many dumb people couldn't handle it". If that's the case then nerf yas because too many people are unskilled at him as well.

[@truongsonbui5972]

@@larkiess It only worked well when you have better macro than the enemy team, which was already a pretty fair trade-off for shit laning phase whrere everyone is your counter. People just hated it because they are stupid at macro and think games should be win by flashy play.

[@lolfreedom6254]

I think if you adjust to the fact that most people in EUW play for tempo rather then for dragons you should hit chall

[@DisastrousCake]

Baus is a good player but I think his mental is just boomed and he refuses to play anything else. He can for sure get chal just playing Gragas, but he really enjoys this playstyle and refuses to abandon it. Honestly curious if he’s considered playing like Tryndamere or something. Doesn’t help that his chat cries nonstop when he’s playing something other than Sion. I thought he had some really cool ideas with Volibear but sadly it didn’t work out.

[@gedeihen4103]

I wanna see another qiyana review pls midbeans!

[@j3nki541]

honestly pretty sad they nerfed the playstyle... pretty fucked up tho, that they call the playstyle 'unfun', when they keep windwall, akshan, or now belveth in the game

[@ItsMorbinTime03]

Or they just buff master yi. Good luck killing him with 4s cd on his W

[@gel389]

U r silver

[@rsmith8113]

He also got an enemy team full of baus campers and they just full time camp him. That Voli was such a pest, crazy

[@Eddiea2024]

That voli counter gank earlier in the game made me shit myself

[@philoni5368]

Nice touch at the beginning, "yentlemen"

[@GozuTob]

Plat low elo, huge ego players saying that thebauffs is bad... well he is not KDAing like majority of shit players, instead he focuses on the goal of the game. Turrets win the game, not kdas... decision making carries you, not mechanics. gj riot for killing unique playstyles. What a shit company and a game... ill still play it tho...

[@BAEHELPFUNY]

atleast we got new shitty skin for sion

[@tsuma-xx]

it’s pretty sad, he went to korea and got so much publicity and fame from his climb, then he comes back home and his fav champ is gutted, his LP is hurting and it all affects his content

this start is up there with twitch support

[@kamilmcki8631]

Sion is dead, this champion is useless now

[@erickluviano981]

But remember yone and yasuo don’t ever get nerfed. Yone can still miss everything but click r and aa you to death because he’s got mixed damage for no reason. I’ll never understand how they don’t nerf the actual broken champions but nerf champs who barely becomes relevant for a couple patches.

[@Tim_Weng]

Riot nerfs based on high Leo gameplay, I think like master and above or diamond maybe, and yone and yasuo aren’t that broken in those elos imo

[@pizzalord6890]

yea bro I understand him after all im a hard stuck iron

[@randomayaya]

those nerfs were not healthy, all you needed was a toplaner able to match him with cc to stop him.

[@Mohitverma-ir4zs]

he can go inting sett with trinity bork and hullbreaker the 1v1 potential is insane and setts passive with hullbreaker and demolish will just delete towers plus sett can 1v2 if played correctly

Probably baus rejected Midbeast in Korea, didn't give the babussy and now Midbeast is roasting him.
