•Use E to make the lane honest: it straightens the sidestep for Q, helps short-range R connect, and is often worth saving if death is likely because the slow can keep someone inside your passive instead of letting them walk away for free
•Sion is strongest when his side wave and his crash path are both threatening, so shove top first and then disappear into a wall cut, river seam, or jungle turn for a short-angle ult rather than announcing a full-screen R from vision
•Do not build your whole game around “inting Sion”: passive is for cashing a trade you already earned or salvaging a bad spot, and recent data shows the common early execute pattern is only modestly rewarding while high-death games still collapse hard
