yeah dude slash her damage even more after you halved it in season 5 and she dropped to one of the lowest damages in the jungle. that'll really help her clear times.

what pisses me off about these reworks and these rework posts is how you always talk about thematics. i don't give a fuck about those; i want good, functional gameplay so i know that you have a clue what you're actually doing. did you address the fact she can't lane at all unless it's some cheese garbage like AP mid? is she going to have situationally higher damage in exchange for having do more than press W and then sit on you? how are you going to balance her shit damage output for the jungle when you've made it so that every good jungler has to power-clear AND be able to chain-gank from level 3?

her ult already does exactly what you want to rework her for, to 'inspire' her allies to fight. it's a big signal that you just stunned their team. there's nothing more obvious to tell you that she wants to fight.

WHY is she becoming a 'cavalry' champion? that's what kled is. i don't want to be that; i hate playing kled.

i hate these posts so much, they're so worthlessly vague and just stuffed with riot buzzwords; the only thing I can draw from them are the exact things I didn't want to happen to her.

really glad i haven't played her much this season due to new jungle; with the way this rework sounds it'll be easy to never pick her back up.

What they trying to do: 1/4 thematic, 3/4 gameplay.

Sadly, I agree quite a bit with this. You can't just remove a Jungler's damage when they already are doing negative damage. If Sejuani is supposed to be a tank, then find a way to make her tankier but don't completely gut her in the process. Sejuani's ult is indeed a strong initiation tool but in reality all it needs is the duration nurfed a tad and realistically you could make her as tanky as you wanted without gutting out her damage. Riot's definitely not thinking clearly on this one.

What's funny about this is the last time I played Sejuani I actually built item 2045 .

I feel like tank junglers are going to get fucked if they are lowering everyone's for more CC. CC isn't that effective vs jungle monsters.

One of the things they did note was that if they need to give damage increases against monsters to allow some tanks to jungle they'll do exactly that, so it's likely if her damage is decreased across the board she'll be given an increase vs. monsters on at least one of her abilities to compensate, much like Shyvana had before her jungle clear nerfs.
