Sion
The mechanic
Sion returns to life for a few seconds after dying, so his death is often the start of a play rather than the end of one.
Why it needs saying
No mechanic in the game runs harder against an ally's instincts. Without a word of warning, your team spends whole cooldowns trying to stop you doing your job.

what you type
let me die i have passive
in full english
Let me die, I come back with my passive.
the context
"Passive" is the ability a champion has without casting anything. A baffling line for an ally trying to save you — without it, they waste spells keeping you alive.

what you type
dont waste ults on me
in full english
Don't waste your ultimates saving me.
the context
"Waste" is the precise verb: spending a resource for nothing. On Sion death is part of the plan, and a heal or shield spent on him is lost twice over.

what you type
sion dead dont stay near him
in full english
Sion is dead, don't stay near him.
the context
A dead Sion gets back up for a few seconds with 100% lifesteal and attacks that deal 10% of your health. Back off and let his passive expire: it cannot chase you for long.
