When I write in the chat, the game thinks I'm pressing the hotkeys even though I'm using the texbox.

Nice! I learned about that trick recently, before that I was using tweens but those aren't as simple when all you want is store one variable.

Nice! Keep us posted on how that goes. What's your main rank?

I would avoid doing it like that since it will behave differently depending on the frame rate.

My suggestion is to use a different interpolation function. You can watch this for more info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSNQuFEDOyQ.

In your Camera.cs change the code to:

public void MoveToward (Vector2 target, float deltaTime, float movePercentage= .002f)
{
    Center = ExpDecay(Center, target, movePercentage, deltaTime);
}
private static Vector2 ExpDecay(Vector2 start, Vector2 target, float decay, float deltaTime)
{
    return target + (start - target) * MathF.Exp(-decay * deltaTime);
}

In your SampleGame.cs, modify the MoveCameraTowardsPlayer function to accept a GameTime:

private void MoveCameraTowardsPlayer(GameTime gameTime)
{
    _camera.MoveToward(_playerPosition, (float)gameTime.ElapsedGameTime.TotalMilliseconds);
}

And pass the GameTime above:

MoveCameraTowardsPlayer(gameTime);

Your function to move the player has the same issue but since this is about the camera movement, I'll allow it.

I've been coaching support Sion to random people of all ranks (bronze all the way up to master 200 LP). Feel free to hit me up on discord if you want a free session.

Yeah, more support Sion would be nice!

An AP Sion build right now is Swiftness Boots, Blackfire Torch, Riftmaker, Liandry's, Shadowflame. Generally in that order. (I'd sneak a Dark Seal + Mejai if you can stack it well.)

E max. Rune is Comet, Manaflow, Celerity, Gathering Storm, Biscuit, Approach Velocity.

W is an outplay button. Negates enemy combos and allows you to trade against stronger enemies with the max HP damage. It allows you to step up slightly further so you can control the map better.

It also makes the gameplay be pretty straight forward: Is W up? I can run in for a trade. Is it down? I should back off for a bit. Usually team fights become more of a dance where you run in and out based on its cooldown.

In general it's Sion's most dynamic ability, you can do some instant plays with flash to execute an enemy.

I max W first pretty much every game. Even when I build AD 😅.

Ran it a bunch after sending that message. It feels pretty unbeatable. https://i.imgur.com/YJPTguz.png  Even in the games where we lose lane somehow, we just end up doing some much in fights.

I tried to make Riftmaker work but haven't really figured it out yet. Feels like it's only good when I'm ahead but at that point anything would work.

In the bot lane, Sion + Brand goes hard right now.

In lore, I'd see his allies ride him the same way Legolas does in LotR. Sion doesn't need to be aware of it.

There was a cinematic where Samira hops on Sion: https://youtu.be/Ctrlj5R7FpU

I think it makes sense that allies can do that on the battlefield.

I don't really like Q immunity since I think that's where you get a lot of skill expression and counter play.

E push back might mess up combos. I really like that Sion keeps enemies in place unlike someone like Gragas or Alistar. Reduces anti-synergy with other champs and makes for controlled fights.

Passive I think is already fine. Maybe revert the health decay nerf. You can already combo it with items like Bloodsong, Gauntlet, etc. If you wanted to maximize the passive, there's a lot of room for creativity in your builds. For example I've done stuff like Dark Harvest with Despair, Collector, Liandry's where you can kill enemies from range without even hitting them in the passive. Then they write "???" in all chat.

In lower ranks, build more movement speed items like Dead Man's Plate, or team items like Redemption (great at turning fights around or participating in a fight without being there).

With more movement speed, you can look for invades or quick roams mid and cause chaos.

Do fog up often after you clear a wave. If enemies don't know where you're at, you can have more map pressure.

Try to cause fights to happen where you'll outnumber the enemy team. Don't take 1v1 fights for the most part if you don't have a reason to.

Playing like that, I'll usually climb with a 70%+ win rate in plat and below without really using my brain much.

I wrote this guide for support Sion: https://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/support-sion-bringing-everyone-down-to-his-level-623029.

There are lots of ways to play him. You should usually think about what type of comp your team is and what it lacks against the enemy team. Sion is a good pick to fill the void. For example if you don't have a tank on your team and you're supposed to be the main frontline, then you can consider going Aftershock with some big tank items like Jak'Sho.

In some teams you need to play more macro with good rotations since you can't win a straight 5v5. So you can consider Warmog's or Trailblazer.

If your team has a Fiddle, Eve, etc, consider Umbral to enable them to control the map.

Maybe your team has only melee champions, in that case there's Redemption into Locket.

The sky is the limit in terms of runes and items.

Based on my tests, in terms of shielding Fimbulwinter is better than Eclipse. You can pair it with Frozen Heart for bigger shields.

If you want to be fancy with it, I had good success pairing it with RoA and Gauntlet.

Are you thinking of something like in Ori and the Will of Wisps where the camera sort of follows the character but not exactly? https://youtu.be/rkgVb27Iwd8?t=1862 There's some smooth interpolation in the movement.

Or did you have something else in mind?

I was wondering when it would happen and suddenly the stars aligned. 🤩

For a few years now I just instantly close the client if Sion is picked or banned. I don't think about it, it's just an automatic reflex at this point.

I was looking for that earlier today. The ones for the Arcane event were nice too: https://raw.communitydragon.org/11.23/plugins/rcp-be-lol-game-data/global/default/assets/events/ca2021/audio/.

Especially sfx-xp1-mus-main.ogg.

I made a list with all the 17 stats builds: https://gist.github.com/Apostolique/6e6ece4181cbbdd959a347398417d4d7. 17 is the max amount possible.

If you only want 10 stats, you can pick only 2 or 3 items from a build and then do your usually stuff. I'm sure some of them are good.

Some items are equivalent, for example if a build has Hubris, then you could replace it with Umbral Glaive or Voltaic Cyclosword.

Every time that I go AP, I get first place or a really high ranking. Some augments go extremely hard.
