The nerfs for sion were affectionately called The Baus nerfs. How one person can influence a champ so hard that they need a nerf is a show of thebaus skill
It's common to see things like this happen when someone makes a difference so big. It was like like watching nba implement the 3 seconds zone cause shaq was unbeatable there. Sad that one is appraised for being the change, and the other is being constantly flamed by that
@@jackspinner4727 it's literally his passive, if you don't die as Sion then you are playing without passive and put you as disadvantage to other champion. But guess what, Sion got nerfed to the ground now and everthing about his playstyle
@@huyhoang7819 I dunno he seems fine full tank. He is a tank. Not a tower taking monster. They nerfed the awful playstle. He’s in a fine spot as a tank his intended role
And they always scale so good late game. 1 bad fight and the trashcan Yasuo suddenly got penta after a combo. It's annoying. I've fought some inting sions in silver too and I do think Sion is really really annoying. The nerf is deserved 😂
@@scoper7897 nah that's just classic how yasuo works, mainly cause of the double crit chance passive. He's basically like a typical botlane adc but hits their powerspike an item earlier in exchange for losing range, but with the tools to limit the disadvantage of being melee and survivability to be in the middle of a fight
WP to this Sion he played safe during laning phase, minimized deaths and yea he let some cs go but now hes scaled and is working with his team to win the game! Well played to this Sion
That Korea trip was the perfect storm for the bauss. His average viewership went up like 5-10k and never went back. Sion was strong and prowlers claw was goood
I think another big part of his success is his personality, he has always been very humble and very entertaining and this along side with his playstyle legit made him the biggest League content creater to date and every League player knows his Sion
The one thing I love about Baus is that he presents his thesis about why K/D/A isn't everything in a game WITH PROOF OF IT, and yet people STILL CRY when a bad K/D/A player is trying to play aggresive to make a comeback while the "good K/D/A" players are being petty and cowards, conforming with saving their stats even though it's going to cost them the game.
well that's true but, I still prefer if you losing then you should play defensively instead, being "aggresive and making a comeback" is good and all, but you also have to remember not everyone are like pro players who can outplayed their enemies by pure skill and knowledge alone. Sometimes when you lose, you really are losing, level and gold, and the best decision you can make is to play defensively and wait for the oportunities with your team, being aggresive and keep bashing your head toward the enemy towers will not help you win, you just gonna make everything worse for you and your team.
@@german-1880 if you are suggesting faker had the power to get Riot to ban people then that is likely not true, it was just how badly he did that game while being in the same server as a notorious top player, that rings alarm bells for Riot more than anything
Wasn't even that, the account Baus used was a riot account and for some reason the system thought someone stole that account from Baus. That's what Baus said a week after the ban@@dezmas9332
@@Em4il I think he's more saying "It's not about mechanical outplays, its about destroying the enemy towers, inhibs, and nexus, and mechanical outplays is just one of the main methods used to reach this outcome". If your method, however weird or crazy it might be (Inting Sion, Pacifist Tryndamere, etc.) destroys the enemy nexus, you are playing the game correctly, even if the method isn't standard. The only real negative impact is the effect it has on your team mates game play.
For me the main reason is it works for him and not the average low elo player, is because he has a higher chance of a cashing in on those bounties he builds up. When a lower skill player falls behind it is basically game over, but Baus CONSISTENTLY outplays his opponent once or twice to cash in on the bounty system.
It's not even about outplaying it's literally about understanding wave times and making sure your opponent with a lead is stuck in lane with a higher vold advantage, there's such thing as getting bad kills in top lane, like if you kill someone but the wave is crashed under your turret and your 1 hp your kinda fucked cuz your gonna lose more than your opponent xp wise Sotheby's stats from a level outweighs the gold value of a kill
This would work even more on Wild Rift considering the matchmaking is based on KDA, so he'll get better teammates that will profit from all the pressure he's making
I've seen people win in Wild Rift with inting Sion. Not even the correct Baus version. The turrets in that game are made of paper and there's one less turret so you can reach the Nexus way sooner.
really love these videos documenting the accomplishments and legends in the LoL scene, would be interesting to see one showcasing the legacy of Trick2g
21:08 wait why does this lowkey make sense but I never thought about it. Like the one not worth gold will initiate the fight and the one with the bounty will finish it without giving his own gold
The only thing I would add is that baus dodging skills are insane, they are way above average high elo player and I would love to see a compilation. And also I havent play league in years but I always watch baus videos because they are so fun, I highly recommend him to anyone, with his playing style every game feels like a comeback game, very entertaining.
I don't get people who are mad at this kind of play, it's refreshing to see ridiculous stuff. In your low elo games trust me, enough griefers with boring mainstream strategies that will still fuck your time, so don't pretend it's the inting sions keeping you stuck.
it's like in any other game: people getting mad for not playing the commonly used tactic, independently of if it's good or bad that's like playing rock paper scissors and getting mad because everyone always takes rock and then somebody take paper
Stumbling upon this video a couple months later, just when Baus has generated yet another change in League, this time a complete rework to the bounty system. Impressive
Dude's literally built different. His brain prioritizes things we can't even fathom because that risk/reward is too much. You can't 0/10 because your team and you can't solo carry because you don't know what would be going through HIS mind. This is why people play league, have mains, and eventually carve out their own style
i think its because majority of players are scared to go 0/10 even tho they do it accidentally, no like baus he does it with purpose to get ahead of the enemy team
It isn't *that* difficult, just think in terms of map pressure over everything else and you'll get the playstyle. Usually means you've gotta play something that can gobble up the map, and punish opponents for ganking you (waste their time, waste their hp/mana/resources etc).
Many champions work this way though? Brand is a great example who loves trading his own life in favor of doing a lot of damage due to how awkward his range is. Now that his ult also bounces to himself, to flash in with R just to get a bunch of bounces off even if it means you suicide can totally be worth it because of how much damage he can put out even when extremely behind. Brand alongside Karthus are are capable of dealing extremely high damage to the entire enemy team in a short period of time. Cassio can arguably do higher and more consistent damage because her damage isn't limited to cooldowns or her ult, but she can't do it as AOE. If you're not consistently dying a lot on Brand you legitimately play him incorrectly, and the same is true for Karthus.
Funny thing is, now the bounty system is getting nerfed as well. He is very, very much influencing how the game is shaping. Now the bounty system goes from whoever has more gold, instead of who has more kills/assists. It's very funny to think about how 1 person with a very niche playstyle can take over and force the devs to make changes around him.
My man gave honor to Faker in Korea 💀. (In case you didn't know, in KR players give honor only to the griefers and trolls so that people can identify them)
wrong, it used to be that way because of the "best enemy" ribbon a long time ago. Riot removed it as toxic KR soloQ players used it to mark griefers/weaker players indicating enemy team to pressure on that specific player This tradition is long gone
I think a lot of players forget how you win the game so they get upset that a solo lancer playing sion does this which is literally what he is supposed to do to do. The added pressure of him pushing keeps the other team from taking objectives since they are so worried about you taking inhib. Everyone so busy trying to get kills and forget the only way u win is by taking towers
I have mad respect for the guy. His approach is smart and analytical; he's actually thinking about how to exploit the mechanics of the game while your average player is stuck on a basic "kill good, death bad" mentality. Most of the hate I've seen him get comes from people who are unable to look past simple K/D gaming (not even going to put the A there, cause, let's be real, none of these people even look at assists) and assume that high deaths = bad play and that he must be getting carried or is putting his team at a disadvantage. Besides, I personally think divergent playstyle like this make the game more interesting. It's just a shame that Riot doesn't agree, since any aberrant strategies that go against the "right" way to play the game always end up getting nerfed.
He is literally the definition of " there is a fine line between crazy and genius " . He is taking advantage of every aspect of the game that makes it unique like the gold system
i really like him and his playstyle. in fact most really successful onetricks (bausffs has a pool, but his sion is undeniably number1) showcase some great niche strategies and thinking outside the box. bausffs with his "inting", pinkward with his baiting shaco or other mains with just an extraordinary degree of skill and understanding
Baus has insane knowledge about the game. You have to think in gold efficiency. Gaining gold without getting a bounty to give it back to the enemies. On top of that focusing on Macro (objectives).
Baus didn’t invent inting sion it existed since before plates where people would just run into the tower and hit it. His play style was different because he wasn’t just running into towers on cooldown and it ended up coopting the name
really happy i found this channel, now i can finally understand what my friends who have been playing since 2015 are referencing half the time lmao these vids are so interesting
Crazy that Blizzard had a similar issue in Overwatch. Except Blizzard took the lazy way out. BastionMain managed to get top 5 DPS by playing completely differently than any of the best players at the time knews how to defend against. Seemingly throwing every round, except for his massive WinRate (Obviously, getting Top5). Instead of Balancing Bastion... They just banned him because he upset the way the game was "suppose" to be played. With Dive, or Shield, or Meta of the Year. At least Riot tries things sometimes.
Baus is an amazing player that knows the game so well that he has created a strategy for his playstyle and brain that works for him, even going to a certain point that you could say that he abuses certain mechanics to absolutely win and stomp games. He's a great inspiration.
Thebausffs is the one who made me go from bronce to gold without even playing more than 10 games in a week, if i take it seriusly i would be near to diamond in a year
It's just the fundamentals and math of league laning phase, brought to absolute maximum. Knowing death timers, how long waves take to reach your tower. Putting the enemy into a position where they have two bad choices. Realizing that dying is not losing, it's just a trade. You can trade your 300 gold to the enemy, while taking 2 waves, over half of their HP, causing them to lose a wave, and then having tempo advantage when coming back to lane. Which enables you to take a plate or two, and deny one more wave from the enemy by crashing it into the tower. That way, you gained hundreds more gold, the enemy is closer to having a shut down bounty on them, and you get to lane stronger than they do.
The majority of people don't understand that LoL is an economy/exp game and not a "kills" game. He's not inting cause that means "intentionally feeding the enemy", he's literally feeding himself, just not with kills and he tries not to die but with that playstyle you will die more often (and it's still worth it). The problem gets bigger when these people that don't understand it will try his strategy but, since they don't understand why and how it's good they will feed and lose.
Inting sion works in low elo because sion is at least hitting towers while other players are lost in the river, countering own jungle, smiting cannon minions
Very good viedo, however I wanted to ask. Will you ever do more guides? I really enjoyed the jungle guides and watched them the most out of your channel, they were very helpfull.
Interesting how out of millions of players, no one had gotten to the same understanding of the game as him. Reminds me of how with Valeera’s release in HOTS, I had an over 90% winrate with her, while she had the lowest winrate among other players. Love the dude’s character as well :) Hope he keeps smashing
Seeing comments about other champs reminds me of the top play only Hymerdinger, Singed, Ad Malz, AP sion and other weird builds from years back. These tower pressure tactics have always been around.
Do a Yasuo video and perhaps on Pz Zang. We Yas mains gotta know what he does or how he carries in solo queue on a pick with so many conditions and mostly team reliant.
He's without a doubt a genius when it comes to the game. He innovated an entire playstyle himself, and he just sees the game differently from everyone else. WITH THAT SAID, he's also kind of a sell out. I say this as a huge thebausffs fan. He's definitely changed the way he plays for money. He will have hidden off-stream accounts where he can hit challenger no problem. But on stream he soft-ints in low master. It's because it's just way better content, he doesn't have to sit in queue for 20 minutes, he doesn't have to tryhard every game, and he gets to do ridiculous builds like AP Irelia. He absolutely trolls and ints on stream. There's literally no reason he has accounts 'stuck' in Master other than it's just what he uses for content when he's not trying. If he actually went tryhard 24/7, it would be way less entertaining and his viewership would be much worse. Unfortunately people don't want to watch streamers just wait in queue all day. He's still one of my favorite streamers, he's gotta be the least toxic high elo player in the world. He's just kind of unwatchable when he's not trying.
Really the only people that complain about him are people who can't reach high elo. People flame nonstop in his masters games but in chall most if not all see and respect his playstyle
13:53 Fun fact, getting an Honor in Korea is calling you an inter, Koreans use the Honor system to let that player's next teammates that "This guy ran it down"
this is gonna sound unhinged but does anyone here remember a casting call when aphelios first came out where LS shouted "how many years" after a blue gun aph ult?
Its done, his hole playstyle is patched now. Crazy how literly one person could force the devs to patch ower and ower his style to a point. For those who dont know. Shutdown calculation is now from summed up gold income not from some specific.
Like him or hate him. They have to target nerf any champ he uses for abusing this strat. And most games he ends with a large gold lead while being 5/15
Simon is so good at this playstyle that after his trip to Korea, pros started to try to do the same strategy causing sion to get repeatedly nerfed until Simon started to say Sion is a shit champion
I have always found it interesting how a player most known for playing a tank champion basically only plays Assasins: Quinn, Lethality Sion, Ap Gragas, Ap Irelia, Lethality Lee Sin, Lethality Sett... Basically the only exception to that is Rammus, but i would bet he plays Rammus because rammus can assasinate every attackspeed ADC.
He plays Rammus because Rammus is very good at proxying. It's the same reason he plays Quinn. What these champions have in common isn't high burst damage potential but tempo control because of how quickly they can be active on the map.
I congratulate his imagination and ability to take something that seems fundamentally wrong and turn it on its head. That being said, I hate how it was ruining my plat games when this was still popular.
Basically it boils down to, Baus understands that League is an objective-based game, not a Team Death Match like 99% of players think it is. The enemy can get 1,000 kills to my 0. I still win if I take their nexus. Unfortunately, League's ban system still thinks it's a Team Death Match.
I can respect the skill and work he put into perfecting his style, as well as his success with it. I do not respect Riot for keeping it in the game for as long as they did.
another thing about his skill is his movement is extremely good, he side step and kite everything, that is one of the stuff that normal player are unable to mimic
He found the glitch That playstyle works more for ppl that know more high level strategies The bad part is that it takes his teammates hostage, if they don't play around his style The worst part is inters under master inzing even more and trying to replicate him
When you said AD scion my response was 'yes, that's how he's supposed to be played.' His entire kit before the rework was about him getting a stun and then melee people to death. It was just a coincidence that some skills had AP.
Riot did the same thing to my Tankmo build when they removed Malady. Riot MsPudding saw my forum post about it and started using it in her livestreams. After her coworkers saw it, my core item malady was removed the next patch. Tankmo has never been the same ever since. I was the first one to innovate and make a competitively viable Tankmo build. I have a video or 2 of it on my RUclips channel. But once Riot saw it, immediately removed from the game, just like with inting Sion. Riot enforces their meta and hates it when people innovate in a way that they perceive as “anti-fun”.

i really like him and his playstyle. in fact most really successful onetricks (bausffs has a pool, but his sion is undeniably number1) showcase some great niche strategies and thinking outside the box.
bausffs with his "inting", pinkward with his baiting shaco or other mains with just an extraordinary degree of skill and understanding
Thebauss is def one of the most knowledgeable players
Baus has insane knowledge about the game. You have to think in gold efficiency. Gaining gold without getting a bounty to give it back to the enemies. On top of that focusing on Macro (objectives).
Baus didn’t invent inting sion it existed since before plates where people would just run into the tower and hit it. His play style was different because he wasn’t just running into towers on cooldown and it ended up coopting the name
really happy i found this channel, now i can finally understand what my friends who have been playing since 2015 are referencing half the time lmao these vids are so interesting
Crazy that Blizzard had a similar issue in Overwatch. Except Blizzard took the lazy way out. BastionMain managed to get top 5 DPS by playing completely differently than any of the best players at the time knews how to defend against. Seemingly throwing every round, except for his massive WinRate (Obviously, getting Top5). Instead of Balancing Bastion... They just banned him because he upset the way the game was "suppose" to be played. With Dive, or Shield, or Meta of the Year.
At least Riot tries things sometimes.
Baus is an amazing player that knows the game so well that he has created a strategy for his playstyle and brain that works for him, even going to a certain point that you could say that he abuses certain mechanics to absolutely win and stomp games. He's a great inspiration.
Thebausffs is the one who made me go from bronce to gold without even playing more than 10 games in a week, if i take it seriusly i would be near to diamond in a year
You get my Like cause of the warning at the start. You get it. Thank you for that. For real.
trying to save everyone's LP lol
13:37 He bodies them, with gragas ofc. Perfect timing!!
And now the bounty system is changed, Baus, prolly the most directly nerfed player in LOL history
It's just the fundamentals and math of league laning phase, brought to absolute maximum. Knowing death timers, how long waves take to reach your tower. Putting the enemy into a position where they have two bad choices.
Realizing that dying is not losing, it's just a trade. You can trade your 300 gold to the enemy, while taking 2 waves, over half of their HP, causing them to lose a wave, and then having tempo advantage when coming back to lane. Which enables you to take a plate or two, and deny one more wave from the enemy by crashing it into the tower. That way, you gained hundreds more gold, the enemy is closer to having a shut down bounty on them, and you get to lane stronger than they do.
bounty system is the reason why this works my dude
if you had same system as in dota2, this playstyle would never work at all
the bausff made me get from gold 5 to gold 1 in 1 season and finding this super champ to play in diferent scenarios.
The majority of people don't understand that LoL is an economy/exp game and not a "kills" game.
He's not inting cause that means "intentionally feeding the enemy", he's literally feeding himself, just not with kills and he tries not to die but with that playstyle you will die more often (and it's still worth it).
The problem gets bigger when these people that don't understand it will try his strategy but, since they don't understand why and how it's good they will feed and lose.
Honestly baus is the most revolutionary player since insec
bros so good he got his own law like a physicist 😂
Keep in mind baus was so good they target nerfed HIM, NOT THE CHAMP PER SE
Inting sion works in low elo because sion is at least hitting towers while other players are lost in the river, countering own jungle, smiting cannon minions
online culture moves so fast now that bausffs is some past figure that needs a history lesson
I love Baus, it brings me back to before there was a meta
Very good viedo, however I wanted to ask. Will you ever do more guides? I really enjoyed the jungle guides and watched them the most out of your channel, they were very helpfull.
Hey man I just binged liked 4 of your videos, great content!!
Interesting how out of millions of players, no one had gotten to the same understanding of the game as him. Reminds me of how with Valeera’s release in HOTS, I had an over 90% winrate with her, while she had the lowest winrate among other players. Love the dude’s character as well :) Hope he keeps smashing
I put respect to baus the moment he singlehandedly manage to nerf sion by hitting challenger in the korean server
Seeing comments about other champs reminds me of the top play only Hymerdinger, Singed, Ad Malz, AP sion and other weird builds from years back. These tower pressure tactics have always been around.
Do a Yasuo video and perhaps on Pz Zang. We Yas mains gotta know what he does or how he carries in solo queue on a pick with so many conditions and mostly team reliant.
well firstly
don't feed
He's without a doubt a genius when it comes to the game. He innovated an entire playstyle himself, and he just sees the game differently from everyone else. WITH THAT SAID, he's also kind of a sell out. I say this as a huge thebausffs fan. He's definitely changed the way he plays for money. He will have hidden off-stream accounts where he can hit challenger no problem. But on stream he soft-ints in low master. It's because it's just way better content, he doesn't have to sit in queue for 20 minutes, he doesn't have to tryhard every game, and he gets to do ridiculous builds like AP Irelia.
He absolutely trolls and ints on stream. There's literally no reason he has accounts 'stuck' in Master other than it's just what he uses for content when he's not trying. If he actually went tryhard 24/7, it would be way less entertaining and his viewership would be much worse. Unfortunately people don't want to watch streamers just wait in queue all day.
He's still one of my favorite streamers, he's gotta be the least toxic high elo player in the world. He's just kind of unwatchable when he's not trying.
The Baus reaching challenger in Korea is like when Johnny English was crowned King of England.
Really the only people that complain about him are people who can't reach high elo. People flame nonstop in his masters games but in chall most if not all see and respect his playstyle
13:53 Fun fact, getting an Honor in Korea is calling you an inter, Koreans use the Honor system to let that player's next teammates that "This guy ran it down"
this is gonna sound unhinged but does anyone here remember a casting call when aphelios first came out where LS shouted "how many years" after a blue gun aph ult?
Its done, his hole playstyle is patched now. Crazy how literly one person could force the devs to patch ower and ower his style to a point. For those who dont know. Shutdown calculation is now from summed up gold income not from some specific.
He is having so much fun :DDD
You should have mentioned his Ap Irelia. That was truely something.
i just enjoy the fact that this kid is having fun
a rare sight
det är nästan äckligt hur smart baus är
4:26 is hilarious lol
I think he tries baiting out the Q the first 2 stutter steps, but yeah, wild spacing
What can I say, Thebaus is one of the greatest League of Legends personalities of all time
Now they change the bounty system, truly only a menace could change the fundamental of the game to be nerfed
What a great video. I’m very impressed. Good job
Bossin on the rift, thats my guy right there, big respect
tears of joy for this man.
Like him or hate him. They have to target nerf any champ he uses for abusing this strat. And most games he ends with a large gold lead while being 5/15
the go 0/16 at your own discretion had me dying
Simon is so good at this playstyle that after his trip to Korea, pros started to try to do the same strategy causing sion to get repeatedly nerfed until Simon started to say Sion is a shit champion
Gets objectives and gold, i guess he just does what the TUTORIAL says!
"You may question my methods, but don't question my results" - Daffy Duck
I have always found it interesting how a player most known for playing a tank champion basically only plays Assasins: Quinn, Lethality Sion, Ap Gragas, Ap Irelia, Lethality Lee Sin, Lethality Sett...
Basically the only exception to that is Rammus, but i would bet he plays Rammus because rammus can assasinate every attackspeed ADC.
dont forget abt ap jax
He plays Rammus because Rammus is very good at proxying. It's the same reason he plays Quinn. What these champions have in common isn't high burst damage potential but tempo control because of how quickly they can be active on the map.
I congratulate his imagination and ability to take something that seems fundamentally wrong and turn it on its head. That being said, I hate how it was ruining my plat games when this was still popular.
Basically it boils down to, Baus understands that League is an objective-based game, not a Team Death Match like 99% of players think it is.
The enemy can get 1,000 kills to my 0. I still win if I take their nexus.
Unfortunately, League's ban system still thinks it's a Team Death Match.
I can respect the skill and work he put into perfecting his style, as well as his success with it.
I do not respect Riot for keeping it in the game for as long as they did.
I mean this man is unreal intelligent, and understand the game in different way like is behond imagination.
I mean too he really love the game too
the real "inting sion" build is from 2019 when zz rod was still in the game. vid reference: ruclips.net/video/ETFHXeIZDNE/видео.html
**Bausen's Law** - Controlling waves - Applying pressure - Trade life for advantage. Operation C.A.T. Meow
and now 6 months later he was nerfed to the ground, riot really hates him
issue at 21:45 is most people aren't good enough to make plays from behind that result in anything but a death
another thing about his skill is his movement is extremely good, he side step and kite everything, that is one of the stuff that normal player are unable to mimic
Are you telling me I was ahead of the curve playing Sion ADC in 2017
Druid Droid pioneered this style way back in season 3 or 4, but baus perfected it
He found the glitch
That playstyle works more for ppl that know more high level strategies
The bad part is that it takes his teammates hostage, if they don't play around his style
The worst part is inters under master inzing even more and trying to replicate him
Your videos are very high quality keep going
Me, before clicking: Gotta be bauffs, right?
When you said AD scion my response was 'yes, that's how he's supposed to be played.' His entire kit before the rework was about him getting a stun and then melee people to death. It was just a coincidence that some skills had AP.
Riot did the same thing to my Tankmo build when they removed Malady. Riot MsPudding saw my forum post about it and started using it in her livestreams. After her coworkers saw it, my core item malady was removed the next patch. Tankmo has never been the same ever since.
I was the first one to innovate and make a competitively viable Tankmo build. I have a video or 2 of it on my RUclips channel. But once Riot saw it, immediately removed from the game, just like with inting Sion. Riot enforces their meta and hates it when people innovate in a way that they perceive as “anti-fun”.
