Sejuani's buffs ; Too little or the most spectacularly adequate thing you've ever seen (?)

Dominick Destine··2 votes·500 views

W - Flail of the Northern Winds FLAILING AROUND Increased the speed at which Sejuani's basic attack is reset E - Permafrost DAMAGE 60/90/120/150/180 ⇒ 80/105/130/155/180 R - Glacial Prison CRYSTAL CLARITY Now shows the area-of-effect in the target indicator

W change = That's nice, it would be cancelled so often by stuns , displacements and even being shrouded.

E change = WTF ? this is such a slight/small buff so as to be almost entirely nonexistent. This is on the level of "We reduced 3 AD from Vayne, she is now PERFECTLY BALANCED TROLOLOLOL" except this is even less than that.

R change = Pointless.

These are some of the smallest buffs I've ever seen.... but I guess it's better than nothing and, at the same time I'm glad Sej wasn't buffed more because she'd be contested and I'd like to keep playing her.

I wonder what Slamurai Jack thinks. He is a Sej-freak that could give good insight.

Ap sion had his ratio go from 1.0 to .9

And according to GD he went from OMFG MOST OVERPOWERED THING EVER to absolute shit not even worth being picked tier.

Btw, for anyone wondering: He is refering to pre-rework AP Sion.

Except that was coupled with a Q ratio from 1.0 to .9, together it was a fairly significant reduction to his burst , which was the most limited burst the game has ever seen (Two spells and then he is nothing).

Also worth noting Sion's shield had a double ratio; Functioning as both AP damage and health... losing ratio chunked both and thus was a lot more effective than it would seem.

His burst went from about 2200 damage half of which was aoe to 2000 damage.

When couple with his ult which was still useful against squishys he could still one shot point with a point and click stun while having a 1000 health plus shield...

He was no where near trash tier levels after that nerf.

Hyperbole/absolute nonsense.

Good try though.

Sigh.

His late game damage was

Q 300 base 1.0 ratio

W 300 base 1.0 ratio

A standard build could easily get 800-1000 ap because that's back when archangels stacked

That's 2200-2600 damage burst not counting lich bane.

A .1 ratio decrease lowers that to a WHOPPING 2000-2400 damage.

WHOA BOY SION SUCKS NOW.............................

And again that's a 1100 damage POINT AND CLICK nuke....

My karthus build used to hit 1400 ability power. I was actually being generous.

The E change is actually more than one would come to think. A 20 damage buff early game is actually pretty significant since, early game, kills can be determined within that amount of damage. Sejuani wasn't super weak, just a little sub-par early game. This will bring her back in a little bit.

She doesn't have any late game issues, she just needed help early and that should be enough.

I think it's quite a great buff, the W one was so neeeded and one of my biggest problems with her, it just felt so sluggish. And 20 more damage on E early on is quite a difference, though i'd prefer to have either cdr or slow at full power on rank 1 for E so it works decently well as 1 point wonder, but atleast it will now decent damage early on i maxed second.

for a character that barely needs any buffs, yes, this is very acceptable

for once, Riot doesn't give a champion some stupid arbitrary buff that makes them bullshit

@Riot; For real, what was the thought process behind the removal of Solo Queue?
