Another reason why krugs are so important is because each individual kill on the krugs adds to his passive stacks, which is what makes them way more valuable than any other camp. This is why Baus often takes enemy krugs as well if he is blue side
Yeah, if it was because of all the inting sions that are populating every elo in league these days, at least in NA and EUW, Riot would have nerfed it months ago, its literally being nerfed just because of him and his Korea trip lmao. He even stated on stream that Sion isn't strong enough as a champ to be nerfed, and most people dont play the strategy correctly at all, because most people int without getting any decent farm levels or gold income. Most people playing it, end up just making the enemy top laner into Jesus. Plus, if you play a champ that can build Divine Sunderer, the pick becomes so much less doable, in his words at least heh
@@DisapprovingPigeon " says doesn't need nerfs" What else is new? lmao. It's a mix of him showing it can be quite effective, and the masses picking it and failing with it at other ranks, I suspect. That and the fact that while this may be fun for the Sion, it's probably not as fun for the rest of the team when it doesn't work. Which may be a thing Riot wants to discourage as a top lane play style.
I mean I didn't need this blatant targetted nerf to know that Riot pretty much exlusively balances around Korean high elo and NA low elo, one being the least variable in terms of champions picked, and the other being the most variable in terms of champions picked. Yi randomly getting nerfed then buffed then nerfed then buffed again within the span of one week? Kinda sounds like a champ a NA bronze to gold player would complain about. Yasuo and Yone getting buffed despite being disgustingly overtuned for however many seasons now, Korean high elo really loves yasuo and yone. They nerfed ryze who had a 40% winrate because he was pick or ban in pro play (mostly pro korean mid laners playing him). Zed Talon Qiyana one shotting you with no cooldowns and no skill repeat combos while being perma invis or untargetable? Well korean high elo players love doing that! Soraka Lulu Sona Seraphine all having stupidly high winrates and going completely untouched for however long now? Well korean and chinese players love those cute girl champs so we can't touch them!
@@gregoryent All I got say is I like playing seraphine tho and alot of people do the cute character n spend alot of money on their skin so that the reason riot make them strong
@@gregoryent Yea the game is fine-tuned to Korean and Chinese high elo. The fact that Yone is still a thing baffles me. After 2 years, still the same OP thing
Honestly, Baus' positive attitude in his videos is so damn refreshing. He's playing against the best, he takes the good and the bad in stride, but still is having a good time. Love his content (and yours too Mr. Chime.)

Another reason he gets kruggs is because of Sion W passive where he gains HP per minion killed. That's also why getting perfect CS is important for the playstyle. He'd even go 11-12 CS per minute in some games. His HP come late game even on AD Sion is massive and he's basically a tank regardless of the build.
The thing is everyone highlights the int part of his playstyle, while really its more about him putting cs above anything. The impressive thing isn't dying, it's knowing that dying sometimes can be benefitial and getting around 10 cs per minute almost every single game .
In bausffs playstyle, the cull is super important and I think you did not mention it. He gets the cull really early and because he farms so well, the cull becomes extremely valuable.
One thing missing in this video that's extremely important and that babus uses all the time is the R-Q trick. Example at 8:23 If you press Q right after R sion skips to the end of the R animation (the slamming down part), this makes ulting in melee range basically a guarantee hit (you can see thebausffs doing it all the time when he lands a Q while close to his enemy). The stun also has a longer duration that way. Basically if you learn this you get a guaranteed R hit in melee (which could otherwise be dashed or flashed out of) and longer cc Here's a description of the bug by Caenen, probably the most famous bug hunter in lol and a sion main: "Sion is a very bugged champ and this also goes for his R. Collision via R's charge and the leap at the end have separate effects. The stun from the leap collision lasts half a second longer. Originally this was the case for any channel time, but a bug fix tackled half this bug and now the charge collision stun duration at range is the same as the leap collision. The non-range one however is still longer if you collide with the leap. Sion R has a short window in which you cannot recast it, as a means to prevent accidental double casts that'd ruin the cast for the user. However, if your Q is up, using R+Q will end the R channel immediately, not actually cast Q (because Q is sealed during R's channel and the leap), and initiate the leap with which you can collide with a target. If you then time the Q properly to begin as soon as you collided, you will be able to channel for at least 1 second while the enemy is stunned." So yeah, I felt like I should mention it
I've hated Baus for really long time but i dived into the macro of his plays when he got to Korea and i gotta say damn, he is a real genious. The level of understanding the game by him is outstanding. The guy went from inter to solo boloing Canna and Pzang among many others. Yes he trolled in Faker game but he did what he always does, he played his playstyle untill defeat. The fact that he isn't distracted by getting kills, barons and dragons he just goes for the nexus and with the best possible strategy. Push towers, get gold win. Absolute legend
His understanding of the game is godlike. I think if he went tryhard mode playing champs like fiora, jayce then he def would be unstoppable. It shows because his gragas and quinn are damn good too
@@elijahpelito4722 those are facts, i remember that he played a first time fiora on EUW chall, and stomp the other laner, that shows 2 things, how broken fiora is, and how good baus is.
my thing about bausff is he creates a fun league playstyle, he roams, he punishes and if he dies he just laughs and calls it "death angle", it truly makes me want to play other champions with the sion style just so i can enjoy league like him
sion W plays for me a big part why thebaus his strats work... sunfire and titanic are good items but are super busted on sion because aslong as he gets farm he keeps getting more hp, more sunfire dmg, and more AD from titanic hydra.
@@pawepajak7142 Steraks are not that good anymore, they cut the dmg from 50 dmg to 0 dmg and the effect from 40% total dmg to 40% base dmg and raised the shield from 35% to 75% and most of the time the shield will end before the enemy can even destroy it. just to compare the old sterak if you had 200 dmg ( 100 base + 100 bonus) it would give you +80 dmg ( 40% of the total) when activated and the new one only gives you +40 dmg (only the bonus dmg counts).
As a huge fan that loves off meta picks and trying them out i love this channel! I started watching a lot of baus videos recently and have become a Sion main at the moment. I would say phase rush is understated in this video as like in the fiora/Darius matchup it is great for an auto fast q/w auto combo to run out of danger in lane/early game. It is also extremely useful in your passive as it gives you the extra move speed you need to chase along with the passive's active. Also the proxy farming is strong after pushing minion waves to tower and the enemy lancer either chases, gets slowed or knocked up AND misses minions, or the laner has to farm and let you take wave and then you can take gromp/golems out of vision while waiting for the next wave. This helps stay safe as well as using ult to get away/back to tower to meet your minions at tower for tower damage (through ult and a couple autos) or to safety. Hope that adds more details but of course these videos are amazing and very detailed and well researched :)
Noticed a couple of thing missing from his "full builds" that you show. One important thing he gets literally everygame is cull, either first back (after 2 waves) when he goes tank, or after he finishes his serrated dirk (if he goes AD). Another thing to mention, is he never goes MR/AD boots on tank SIon, instead opting for Swiftness Boots. IIRC - he mentioned on stream that the extra resistances are redundant on tank SIon, and movement speed enables alot of his gameplay decisions. Above all though... WP to this Sion. He played safe during laning phase, minimized deaths and yea he let some CS go but now he's scaled and is working with his team to win the game! Well played to this Sion!
WP to this "Fan" he played safe during fanboy phase minimized originality and yea he let some new idea go but now hes scaled and is working with his clipboard to copy the paste! Well played this fanboy
I've been watching Baus for a couple years now and I think the biggest thing is that he's just a genuinely likable dude. Also, people don't talk enough about his micro. His movement lets him win a lot of fights he really has no business winning.
Also remember, just because you're dying 18 times per game doesn't mean you're playing like Baus. Baus dies for a reason every single time. He uses his death to get ahead in gold or stay even with his opponent. So guys, please stop feeding with Sion. You're making Babus look bad.
They aren't making him look bad. Baus is in challenger, the people being silly and feeding are silver. Of course that's not what baus is doing otherwise he'd be in silver too.
The sad thing is, that IT doesnt really matter, it helps a bit to die in a good situation. But Sion is so broken, that IT doesnt really matter. You just push and die.
@Sambo Jones ok, that's something else. Sometime jungler see easy kill on Sion. So he give easy gank to jungler. So he stay arround top. Giving free early game for the rest of your team. While you slowly worth 0 gold
It was a long and funny journey and I was there on stream (sometimes) but I did watch his videos and millions of clips (new and reposted) in shorts multiple times.
Dobby and HappyChimeNoises have a educational video about this strategy. Maybe I could try this strategy directly to rank. What will be the worse that will happen?
Mans is so good he single-handedly got a whole damn champion nerfed! I love him and his mind set when playing. League is a fun game about problem solving, so if you get all tilted you make bad plays. Just keeping yourself level-headed and focusing on winning makes the game so much more enjoyable.
So years before i ever heard of baus, Tilterella was playing AD scion since the rework you guys should check out his channel. It was the first iteration of ad scion i had ever seen. He is australian so i believe hes on ocianic, but he is a challenger player as well and i believe also played on the korean servers as well sometimes(tho im not certain about the last part.)
@Sambo Jones You're not wrong but again this strat only works because he gets so much value out of deaths. 4 cs per min is also comically terrible, even for silver players, if that's all you're getting you need to learn the basics of the game instead of looking for a strat that works in high elo.
Sorry but ive had enough of sions in gold. It really doesnt matter if they suck ass if my team wont coordinate as well. He will just sit on top and push while my team will run around like headless chickens and since I’m playing support I can only ward toplane, spam pings or leave my carry and go there to die against him
I think the only player to come close to the split pushing style Bauss has to be Singed420, that man had a similar idea where he'd ALWAYS be farming from inside the enemy base, he'd try his best to force enemies to go back to base to stop him, leaving large parts of the maps uncontested for his allies. Singed420 had the global map pressure down early game, where as Bauss excels at putting pressure down late game. Plus Sion makes very good use of all the CS he obtains over time, a true snowball effect.
I must say i felt in LOVE with this inting Sion strategy at first game. Enemies just dont know what to do or they ff after they lose 1vs5 to a 0/10 Sion XD
The guy is just a tactical genius. I don’t think Riot should try to stop him because he is just so damn smart; while his strategy is kind of exploit-y, he knows so much macro that he is the only person who can consistently pull it off. I can’t imagine him playing a champ that he can just straight up carry on.
Coach Curtis said something offhand in his most recent video (the bronze one) that's really stuck with me. He said, "Scaling means nothing if you can't CS." I think TheBausffs is a pretty perfect example of it. While it can be dangerous to only go for CS, he plays in such a smart and unique way he really proves that point, out scaling everyone even though his KDA ratio on some of his games would make Yasuo's look good.
I saw this video way too late and I don't know if anybody pointed this out but often times he also likes to go swiftness boots on tank sion. If I recall correctly he said that the stats from boots don't matter that much because you will get a ton of it anyways so he likes to go swifties.
To all top laners feeling motivated to do krugs now: please remember, not every champ is made to easily kill krugs early levels...if you lose 50% health doing it or even worse, lose half a wave because it takes too long, this can have the opposite effect. In this case, look for another objective to do.
@@HappyChimeNoises thank you for your time sir. i love your video's, and i love thebausffs so this was a real treat. You say that you cannot rate the build, does this make it S tier?
Literally thebauffs being more relevant now makes sion being played more, the same happened in LAN and LAS servers when a spanish streamer named MANUTE played the old mordekaiser, with 8 million points in mastery, making this champ being played a lot because it had a hidden potential, this guy MANUTE was so famous in 2018 that riot invited him to test the new mordekaiser and give feed back
WP to this HappyChimeNoises! he played well while editing, minimized bad information and yea he is gona make all of your tops terrible inting sions who dont understand it but now babus is more popular than ever and is playing with Faker! Well played to this Chime!
to be honest, ive learned more from baus than any other individual player, he taught me to not care about deaths and have good wave clear, and since then ive won more games, and even if i lose im almost always most gold, really does wonders, the only thing is teams in lower elos really and i mean REALLY like fighting 4v5 for some odd reason
I think you did baus injustice. He explains why he focuses on farm. He doesn't just try to die on level 1 he dies if he knows that he will either break even or get ahead in CS. He is not thinking about kills nor buildings but only about gold income. Changes like bounties on players, boutnies on turrets, platings and changes to kill gold while ahead can construct a situation where being ahead in kills puts you on a HUGE economic disadvantage. He understands the economy better than everyone else.
Been in almost every Baus stream and climbed to plat 2 in season from gold 4, here are the important traits that the video missed 1. Krugs are important to sion not only bcoz of maximing time/gold, but also it gives the most health (w passive) among all the jungle monsters in the game. Just make sure to kill the tiniest krugs. 2. If you are 100% that u want a "good death", make sure to never use ur e until the last second. The slow combined with phase rush will surely give you a free kill 3. The most op combi with sion that is r then immediately press q. This only works for shortage but it guarantees the extra knock up/cc essential for a fully charged q.
Actually how RQ work is that it canceled ult into a leap which can only be casted after 0.4s into ult which increases the CC duration to 1s bc the leap itself is 1-2s stun while normal ult is 0.5-2s stun so that bug help you being able to charge up haft a Q which result in a stun but enemies can easily counter it by having any source of tenacity + either a dash or hard CC.
Another thing about Sion is that I don't think most people fully understand how well he makes use of Titanic in his tank build. I can't think of another champion that makes better use of the scaling AD on Titanic than Sion, I've had games where my Titanic is giving me upward of 80-90 AD by itself.
Its really unexpected, but Sion has the best turnrate, smoothest animation and best attack detection in the game. Despite being a giant who looks clunky af, he is the opposite.
Great video, but I think you should have focused on phase rush a bit more. As it allows him to easily run away from bad matchups while alive, but also it allows his passive to gain massive amounts of speed!
The man singlehandedly responsible for making Sion probably the most obnoxious pick in all of my games and responsible for more splitpushing feeders than anyone I've known in living memory...making me want to play regular games in League a lot less..
there used to be a gap between regions. KR > NA, EU and somewhat tied with China. pulling ahead or falling slightly behind but not too noticeable. the gap has definitely closed up over the years with these players
sion's nerfed, funny how riot think this is nerf worthy for Sion, but Yone murdering your entire team while being 3 screens away is entire acceptable and balanced
A good death from Baus is almost always set up by himself. He doesn't "react to it positively". He seizes the initiative and carries out his plan even when it involves his death, be it wave control, farm, teamfights, towers or nexus. The lesson here is that you should allow yourself to react to plays as little as possible, that you should be the one making plans, seizing initiative and forcing the opponents to react.
hmm lets not forget that we have 4 waifus of top lane who cannot be weak at any moment (riven,irelia,camille,fiora) Riot: This is fine, let them be op rest of leagues time, so we can sell skins for otp players Then there is sion, not that amazing but decent. OTP player makes new and fun strat and it actually got him to rank 1 in 2019 and challenger in korea in this year. Riot: We need nerf sion real quick ASAP

You forgot the most important step: Equip Lumberjack skin.
he also like to but the cull. you miss that there
no
U forgot to say he always buy cull 1st back if he has enough gold
baus often buys swifties and sometimes says that defensive boots are bad (especially when he plays tank).
Another reason why krugs are so important is because each individual kill on the krugs adds to his passive stacks, which is what makes them way more valuable than any other camp. This is why Baus often takes enemy krugs as well if he is blue side
i kill krugs and my jungler gets mad ahahaha. fucken Gold
and he has cull
and why Baus winrate for redside is higher. Easier access to Krugs.
@@ravenam3 Cull only stacks off of minions, not monsters.

He is the solobolo master after all.
Was waiting for this for months
Dobby and HappyChimeNoises have a educational video about this strategy. Maybe I could try this strategy directly to rank. What will be the worse that will happen?
you'll lose 4 ranks and possibly get reported for inting
5:25 you forget to mention that every individual krug contributes to sion's w passive which makes it even more valuable than other camps
My favorite league channel
talks about my favorite league player.
This got to be my favorite league video.
This is a long time coming. Most possible the best and most famous off-meta player.
Mans is so good he single-handedly got a whole damn champion nerfed! I love him and his mind set when playing. League is a fun game about problem solving, so if you get all tilted you make bad plays. Just keeping yourself level-headed and focusing on winning makes the game so much more enjoyable.
So years before i ever heard of baus, Tilterella was playing AD scion since the rework you guys should check out his channel. It was the first iteration of ad scion i had ever seen. He is australian so i believe hes on ocianic, but he is a challenger player as well and i believe also played on the korean servers as well sometimes(tho im not certain about the last part.)
Love his montages
Rip Tilterella who was the original Sion main. Never even heard of this Baus guy.
This guys is a different breed, I watched him a lot before and hes chill even if he has 10 deaths
The baus is a legend just don’t need the wannabes in my ranked games
The wannabes will copy thebaus, but exclude the ability to keep up with cs and have actually godlike macro.
@Sambo Jones 4cs/m on something that only works because you get way more than that... yeah nawh bud, your iron is showing lol
@Sambo Jones You're not wrong but again this strat only works because he gets so much value out of deaths.
4 cs per min is also comically terrible, even for silver players, if that's all you're getting you need to learn the basics of the game instead of looking for a strat that works in high elo.
Sorry but ive had enough of sions in gold. It really doesnt matter if they suck ass if my team wont coordinate as well. He will just sit on top and push while my team will run around like headless chickens and since I’m playing support I can only ward toplane, spam pings or leave my carry and go there to die against him
Here he is. Just took him a couple of years.
this guy: I am challenger sion
teammates: but what did it cost you?
this guy: my KDA
I knew that sion inting strat was a thing before I knew about this legend
Hey chime, Recently found your channel and it’s awesome, keep up the great work!
12:31 you forgot to mention that this quote only works for people who use champion that can do something while in a deathscreen/dead aka sion.
Minion knock up montages are the best part of his videos :)
Tyler waited for him to leave so he doesn't have to face master Baus
I think the only player to come close to the split pushing style Bauss has to be Singed420, that man had a similar idea where he'd ALWAYS be farming from inside the enemy base, he'd try his best to force enemies to go back to base to stop him, leaving large parts of the maps uncontested for his allies.
Singed420 had the global map pressure down early game, where as Bauss excels at putting pressure down late game. Plus Sion makes very good use of all the CS he obtains over time, a true snowball effect.
I must say i felt in LOVE with this inting Sion strategy at first game.
Enemies just dont know what to do or they ff after they lose 1vs5 to a 0/10 Sion XD
I once searched all your video for this video. If you had make an video on baus and i missed..
Now you made.. thanks.
We are doing an ample of inting, a.k.a intelligent playing
i would like to have a video of you every single day because they are stupidly entertaining
The guy is just a tactical genius. I don’t think Riot should try to stop him because he is just so damn smart; while his strategy is kind of exploit-y, he knows so much macro that he is the only person who can consistently pull it off. I can’t imagine him playing a champ that he can just straight up carry on.
11:56 his matchup guide in the description reccomends tank against fiora. Not sure if that's a mistake or not
Ive been waiting for this for literally months hahaha, i love thebauffs he is very chill and cute
How a BRONZE SION did the BAUS SPECIAL when the enemy had ALL 3 INHIBS and DIED like an IDIOT
Coach Curtis said something offhand in his most recent video (the bronze one) that's really stuck with me. He said, "Scaling means nothing if you can't CS."
I think TheBausffs is a pretty perfect example of it. While it can be dangerous to only go for CS, he plays in such a smart and unique way he really proves that point, out scaling everyone even though his KDA ratio on some of his games would make Yasuo's look good.
3 days ago I looked "How an Inting sion got challenger" and now you made the video, maybe I can see into the future
I saw this video way too late and I don't know if anybody pointed this out but often times he also likes to go swiftness boots on tank sion. If I recall correctly he said that the stats from boots don't matter that much because you will get a ton of it anyways so he likes to go swifties.
I guess, "Don't just a book by it's cover". And be a tortoise. Game winning ✋
So it finally happened huh? The long awaited babus video
Was waiting for this episode for so long. Love the vids ✨️
To all top laners feeling motivated to do krugs now: please remember, not every champ is made to easily kill krugs early levels...if you lose 50% health doing it or even worse, lose half a wave because it takes too long, this can have the opposite effect. In this case, look for another objective to do.
I love the section What We Can All Learn from Bause: "You are the one who decides how to react to something bad." So true!
Juicy uploads today with this and Coach Curtis LB guide. But baus takes swiftness as tank
Revert my boy back to his season 2 self with that attack speed life steal ultimate
thebaus gang. they have removed inting sion
Pls riot dont kill my boy
@@HappyChimeNoises thank you for your time sir. i love your video's, and i love thebausffs so this was a real treat. You say that you cannot rate the build, does this make it S tier?
The crossover that we were not ready for
Literally thebauffs being more relevant now makes sion being played more, the same happened in LAN and LAS servers when a spanish streamer named MANUTE played the old mordekaiser, with 8 million points in mastery, making this champ being played a lot because it had a hidden potential, this guy MANUTE was so famous in 2018 that riot invited him to test the new mordekaiser and give feed back
WP to this HappyChimeNoises! he played well while editing, minimized bad information and yea he is gona make all of your tops terrible inting sions who dont understand it but now babus is more popular than ever and is playing with Faker! Well played to this Chime!
me, hunting for the copypasta comments. Wp to you
to be honest, ive learned more from baus than any other individual player, he taught me to not care about deaths and have good wave clear, and since then ive won more games, and even if i lose im almost always most gold, really does wonders, the only thing is teams in lower elos really and i mean REALLY like fighting 4v5 for some odd reason
I think you did baus injustice. He explains why he focuses on farm. He doesn't just try to die on level 1 he dies if he knows that he will either break even or get ahead in CS. He is not thinking about kills nor buildings but only about gold income. Changes like bounties on players, boutnies on turrets, platings and changes to kill gold while ahead can construct a situation where being ahead in kills puts you on a HUGE economic disadvantage. He understands the economy better than everyone else.
Baus: Sion is too weak
*Gets nerf*
Spearshot: Pantheon is broken
*Gets buffed*
Been in almost every Baus stream and climbed to plat 2 in season from gold 4, here are the important traits that the video missed
1. Krugs are important to sion not only bcoz of maximing time/gold, but also it gives the most health (w passive) among all the jungle monsters in the game. Just make sure to kill the tiniest krugs.
2. If you are 100% that u want a "good death", make sure to never use ur e until the last second. The slow combined with phase rush will surely give you a free kill
3. The most op combi with sion that is r then immediately press q. This only works for shortage but it guarantees the extra knock up/cc essential for a fully charged q.
Actually how RQ work is that it canceled ult into a leap which can only be casted after 0.4s into ult which increases the CC duration to 1s bc the leap itself is 1-2s stun while normal ult is 0.5-2s stun so that bug help you being able to charge up haft a Q which result in a stun but enemies can easily counter it by having any source of tenacity + either a dash or hard CC.
really good video and showcase of the genious that is thebaus ;)
LMAO THE RENATA ULT AT 9:04 GFNFJWJD
The game is not about who has the most flashy kills, it's about who has the most creative way of winning the game
I saw KatEvolved playing against him in Korean challenger. Also love your videos.
Another thing about Sion is that I don't think most people fully understand how well he makes use of Titanic in his tank build. I can't think of another champion that makes better use of the scaling AD on Titanic than Sion, I've had games where my Titanic is giving me upward of 80-90 AD by itself.
I don't even ply LoL anymore, but I like this channel for showing how cool the game could be
Its really unexpected, but Sion has the best turnrate, smoothest animation and best attack detection in the game. Despite being a giant who looks clunky af, he is the opposite.
WPYEEYEE to this Simon and his ability to recognize a deaf angel!
After trying Inting Sion on the silver elo, I can say that Tank Sion is much more "beginner friendly" than Lethality Sion.
The thumbnail looks perfect btw.
Also, when Thebaus starts to Proxy a lane the enemy top has two choices: try to chase him and lose waves of farm or sit on their tower and farm.
Great video, but I think you should have focused on phase rush a bit more. As it allows him to easily run away from bad matchups while alive, but also it allows his passive to gain massive amounts of speed!
tilterella was actually the original inting sion. baus made it more viable.
right? how many years of tilt hitting challenger using this? no shout out to og
pretty sure there's a video called "vausffs explains his dying strat" where he goes over some of this
you forgot to mention his swifty boots addiction
this is boutta blow up, i can feel it
The man singlehandedly responsible for making Sion probably the most obnoxious pick in all of my games and responsible for more splitpushing feeders than anyone I've known in living memory...making me want to play regular games in League a lot less..
This is the true SoloQ, no team i carry even dying
More support video's pls.. I really love watching them!
DO NOT forget that by pressing ULT-Q at the same time in melee range you will perform a max stunt without ulting from far away
I was waiting for the video about baus
there used to be a gap between regions. KR > NA, EU and somewhat tied with China. pulling ahead or falling slightly behind but not too noticeable. the gap has definitely closed up over the years with these players
sion's nerfed, funny how riot think this is nerf worthy for Sion, but Yone murdering your entire team while being 3 screens away is entire acceptable and balanced
With Baus getting all this notoriety maybe he can finally buy the *Brabus*
YOU CAN FUCKING DO THAT WITH HIS ULT? SO THAT'S WHY THE SION MAINS STUN ME FOR MY ENTIRE MORDE ULT DURATION
One small correction: Baus always goes for swiftness boots, not defensive boots. He thinks they are underrated, and generally really good on Sion.
The way you describe thebaus's playstyle reminds me so much of Trick2g. I hope he gets out of low elo so he also gets featured in your channel!
He is trash dia4 hardstucj
The reason for him doing krugs is because of his w passive
Also good point for sure. I talked about that in my Sion jg vid where that player also loved it for this reason.
A good death from Baus is almost always set up by himself. He doesn't "react to it positively". He seizes the initiative and carries out his plan even when it involves his death, be it wave control, farm, teamfights, towers or nexus. The lesson here is that you should allow yourself to react to plays as little as possible, that you should be the one making plans, seizing initiative and forcing the opponents to react.
Cant wait seeing 0/15 Sions in bronze trying to persuade their team that they are not inting
hmm lets not forget that we have 4 waifus of top lane who cannot be weak at any moment (riven,irelia,camille,fiora)
Riot: This is fine, let them be op rest of leagues time, so we can sell skins for otp players
Then there is sion, not that amazing but decent. OTP player makes new and fun strat and it actually got him to rank 1 in 2019 and challenger in korea in this year.
Riot: We need nerf sion real quick ASAP
Meanwhile Baus on stream losing lane: "What the fuck is this Schampion, soo broken, hes been meta for 4 years, how can riot allow this"
