I don't know in-viable Sion is, but I know he's much better than Urgot.
You're talking about ap sion. Which is probably the most useless peace of poop you can hope for in team fights. His shield is practically nothing if the enemy team manages to get rid of it in time, which shouldn't be that hard since he would be pretty squishy.
Yeah, laning against him can be a doosh, considering his stun is targettable, and almost always gets his shield damage done. But he isn't even a hit or miss, he's either a miss, or get some solo lanes behind until you become useless. And the fact that it's harder to end a game now than it was before, he'll get outscaled immensely.
As for AD sion, it's probably a complete opposite. You aren't even a champion in laning phase unless your opponent just doesn't know what all inning means. And when that happens, enjoy being more useless than minions.
As for urgot, he's pretty underestimated. Yeah, he isn't the best. But you're one of the most annoying top laners that ever set foot in the lane, especially if you're against a melee, which shouldn't be much of a problem in the current meta. Huge armor/mr boost, damage reduction and armor shred, all that can be done pretty easily and constantly (well, other than the defense stats boost).
I played a lot of urgot the past few months, and being a top laner, I loved every bit of it. Teamfighting could be a problem, but you're going to practically be a tanky initiator with probably the easiest engage ever. All you have to do is hover your mouse over a squishy target and press R. And oh god the level 3 ult range. Yeah sure, you'll be in the middle of the enemy now, but by the time they even decide to go for you and you alone, their adc/mage/whatever would've been long gone.
Manamume, last whisper, brut/black cleaver, merc or tabis depending on the enemy team, a nice little hextech gunblade for that immortality because oh my god the heals everywhere, and a pinch of tanky item to wash it all off and you got yourself a shredder tank cc immortal what the fuck should I focus him is he worth it omg I don't know pls team halp.... who can unfortunately just focus one person at a time.
