Sejuani really only has one problem right now

I hope they address this in the update but her biggest problem is that you get counterjungled incredibly hard. If you want Sejuani and pick jungle first the enemy can counterpick graves, Lee Sin, Pantheon or whoever and just blow you up on either your first or second clear. This is probably why Sejuani is the least playable tank in the top lane. She has such a horrible ability to defend or attack that her only chance to thrive in a game is through praying the enemy jungler doesn't know how to play the matchup and let's her afk farm for 10 minutes.

This is an issue for every jungle tank except Zac.

I mean, Hecarim goes OOM on his first clear often and is very low, Amumu has to start blue and is easily invadeable, Rammus can barely clear his own jungle, Sejuani at least has a wall jump for escapes (and not much else) and Nautilus isn't even a jungler anymore.

Meanwhile the gank junglers, who have traditionally been balanced by weak clears, now have very good clears and can just stroll into your jungle and either kill you or force you off a camp.

The entire jungle system needs revamped, again, because everything is blown completely out of proportion.

I feel like Skarner and Malphite are somewhat safe in the jungle but I think you are right with the rest of them. I don't know why they don't just buff the defense of hunter's talisman. It's still going to give tanks a slow clear but at least it will keep them at good health. Same with Doran's shield in the top lane. The starting items for tanks are just awful.

Skarner is essentially a fighter jungler though, and Malphite isn't safe - I've jungled him a few times this season, and he can barely clear his own jungle if you don't take AS runes and go 2 points in W which means you have zero pre-6 presence.

Well, they said they are nerfing her ult specifically because it is too much of her power budget, so things are looking good. However, they said they are reworking her so she going to give buffs to nearby allies so that means without them, she's got wasted power in a 1v1, so things are looking bad.

I predict a 80% chance she's getting screwed or ignored in this area. Riot has said nothing about her 1v1 potential so you can assume it's not an issue for them.
