I asked Endstep during his stream about Sion. He's gonna come with the 50% reduced damage to towers. Apparently they planned this out even before PC implemented that nerf. I doubt it makes a difference, I think Sion is gonna be a splitpushing monster anyway

We still expect, and want him to be, a powerful splitpusher a significant number of our play tests saw a Sion splitpushing. We just don't like the gameplay of him ignoring all else to die and take towers with his passive repeatedly.

So will he be the first person able to do damage with his ult/basic abilities? (excluding enhanced)

And if so will there be a limiter on how much his ult/passive can do to a turret?, may it be damage cap or % reduction?

I assume you mean "first to do damage to turrets" with his ult/basic abilities. He isn't, Rammus's ulti damage turrets, and Alistair can headbutt them too.

He does have a turret damage mod during his passive and I believe we gave him one on his Ulti too.

I never knew rammus ulti did damage but thank you for answering my questions!

Oh, Akshan's ulti does too, I might be missing 1-2 more.

Maybe I should say it a diffrent way, a ability that dont need to be targeted on someone but still deals a sizeable amount of damage, rammus ult deals basically nada and alistar headbutt too. But the other 2 are senna q/1st and ziggs bomb

Sure but Sion's R isn't targeted, and Ziggs W doesn't deal much damage unless it executes the turret. Ultimately the takeaway is that we have some abilities that can damage towers. But I don't think we would ever be happy with an ability dealing reliable, sizeable, amounts of damage to towers, with any sort of frequent use. We are fine with it dealing damage but aren't a big fan of the gameplay when he is blowing them up left and right.

as much as i hated the nerfs maybe sion deserves passive nerf not maybe as harsh as PC's but maybe make him deal only 70% damage to towers?

It's a bit hard to call anything a nerf, given that he isn't released. If he is too strong/weak at release we'll make the needed adjustments don't worry.

He has also had some small tweaks for those familiar with his LoLPC incarnation.
