The State of AP Sejuani

You'll need a full TWO HUNDRED AP to have Sejuani's W auto do the same damage at level 9 as it did 3 months ago with ZERO AP. Even if a Sej gets fed enough to have a full Deathcap up on her lane opponent, she still won't be able to duel a them.

With recent nerfs, her bread-and-butter damage ability's base damage at rank 5 was slashed in half. This won't hurt Tank Sejuani as much because she relies a lot more on W's AOE DOT than its onhit portion for damage. But AP Sej relies completely on being able to burst people down, and having 6% max HP damage removed from her kit, while it might not sound like a lot, may very well kill a niche build that already has enough trouble as it is. She gets absolutely stomped in lane by nearly every champion. Her ability to snowball off of midgame skirmishes is her saving grace, and with nerfs to her midgame, AP Sej will be weak at every stage of the game.

I recognize that the nerf was probably necessary for Tank Sej. Basically all that I'm asking for is a buff to Sejuani's Flail of the Northern Winds (The onhit portion's) AP scaling, just enough to offset the nerf to the base damage once she's full build.

I know it's a troll build and probably isn't something anyone will lose much sleep over, but I'd just hate to see it die just because of Cinderhulk.

Like, you still do pretty ridiculous damage with lyandries, cinderhulk, and sunfire.

I love sejuani, but I really don't see the need for a buff. Maybe, I dunno, I'd have to play her a bit more.

EDIT: Oh, I see, you meant building straight AP. That's weird, I don't see much reason to build her straight AP when she already does so much damage as a tank.
