Sejuani is a really good rework guys

Big Lincoln··3 votes·735 views

reworked her because she was brainless, which is fair

rework is probably even more brainless, but riot in their endless boundless wisdom found a way to take a simple kit and drain any sense of fun or autonomy out of it, to give us an intense E-clicking experience that'll leave even the most sugar-hyped ADHD child emotionally dead for the next 4 hours

hoo wee it's probably my favorite thing, standing in a teamfight and waiting for my Warwick Ekko to do what is supposed to be my job for me, so I can press E, do some % damage and then do nothing to those people for the next 10 seconds. when i played old sej i always thought "you know, this is pretty enjoyable but i really want my personal skill to matter even less than it usually does when i'm playing a tank, i really want to be fucked over because my teammates don't want to be forced to change their picks to suit my needs"

and forget about her old niche, it makes a lot of sense that a late game tank off-carry should actually be an early game CC bot. gotta Poppy get Sion that Leona diversity Nautilus after all, sejuani is filling a role we clearly didn't have filled yet.

tbh you may as well just remove her health scaling W altogether, it's not like you put it there with the intention of letting me do any damage, so why are you teasing me with the possibility that maybe i might get to be anything other than a meat sack? make it do no damage, actually, that way I can be even more reliant on this extra-fun interactive intuitive point and click nuke you gave me, after all i'm not here to do anything but throw out point and click high counterplay stuns, so why not """enhance""" that fantasy and make it the only thing that does damage. oh yeah and just to be safe, you guys completely neutered any and every alternative build besides tank. can't have any of that item diversity, the main selling point of why league is different from mobas. none of that, am i right guys ? :) haha

as laughably badly as you botched this rework, at least i get to coast by on the LP gravy train at the cost of my dignity, at least until you inevitably trash sej again and leave her worse off than she started.

so i just wanna say overall, GOOD JOB RIOT, i've just never been more happy, please rework more of the champs i like and make them unrecognizable to me, since you've taken so many of them already, once you've ruined everyone i like maybe i'll finally be able to stop playing

New Sejuani is way less fun to play than the old one. They turned her from a diver/initiator hybrid into a CC bot. Fucking terrible.

of course it is but y'know, it took a bunch of sej mains telling them this is shit, they don't care, even though we're the people who would pay for her skins and make her profitable, they don't care

you can even look at the sejuanimains subreddit, even those folk are mostly miserable about it and considering sejuani's falling win and play rate it's safe to say she's going to right back into irrelevance. feels great having to play the rework roulette and losing

Yeah, don't worry about him. He just likes to stalk people down and harass them because he's got nothing better to do with his life than pretend he's better than people because he specifically only plays champions designed for low-level players to get easy wins.

Old Sejuani was dull as heck. The ult was fun, but the rest of her kit was just... blah. And I say this as someone who played her fairly regularly.

Old Sejuani feels more impactful with her basic abilities, but her ultimate is dull as heck.

One step forward, one step back again. If only we could combine the two.

Old Sejuani feels more impactful with her basic abilities

pressing E for a barely-noticeable particle and not even getting a unique animation for Shattering. hardly what i'd call impactful, even W feels mediocre

two steps backwards, probably one of the worst reworks we've ever gotten in my opinion
