Have to say, I'm really enjoying the new jungle item.

When pre-season came around, I really disliked playing the jungle, to the point of I'd rather play my worse role ADC then play it. However this patch, I can't stop playing it. Also a champion I had enjoyed playing, but never really felt like he was close to a Vi, or J4, is now an absolute monster. Volibear has torn it up for me, although I've yet to be able to try him in ranked as jungle is usually taken. Definitely a right direction they're taking the jungle, and the first patch in a while that I like pretty much everything in it. Great job Riot.

I agree. That small little buff actually made a huge difference, along with the new tank item.

The new jungle item is really only good for champions with abilities that do damage of percentage of health. Volibear is a great example, but for champs like Sejuani and Vi and J4 they are better off with the attack damage and ability power jungle items. They rely off the CDR.

Volibear's W doesn't do percentage health it does percentage missing health as damage tho.

It does do a percentage of bonus health though (15% I believe). However, champs like Sejuani by far are better with Cinder Hulk. AP Sej might be ok to screw around with, or if your team is absurdly ahead, but you offer your team way more with health just because of how her kit works. I also want to try Zac out, as he's a champ I've wanted to like for ages, but hasn't been good for a while.

If you actually read his ability it does, it has straight flat damage including 15% of health he has as bonus damage. As well as % of the enemies health is missing. Make sure you know what you are saying before replying.

You know this is literally the perfect Sejuani item right? If you had asked me "what is the best item Sejuani could ever have" before Cinderhulk was added I would have said Sunfire with a %HP increase.

I do realize its a great item for sejuani if you are going straight tank and no damage. Personally, I go with the AP jun item and build the sunfire cape because I would rather have decent damage. Sejuani is also better with as much CDR for all of his abilities (more knock up, damage, slows, fast jungle clear and more often ult) Just my personal preference. This is how I usually build Sejuani. item 3260 item 3708 item 3025 item 3143 item 3065 item 3068 (If they are more AP heavy i go with two Magic Resist items and one Armor Item) And I roll with the iceborn gauntlets to make the enemy perma slowed.

Basically what it tends to come down to is that if you run the Cinderhulk over the AP item you can sub out the Sunfire for something more useful like a F/Heart or a Locket, if you wanted to go more offensive there's items like Abyssal you could put there too.

It's also worth noting that your build overcaps CDR. 20% from Magus + 15% from Iceborn + 10% from SV (you should really build locket btw it's just a better item on tanks) = 45%, you presumably also have 5% from masteries putting you up to 50%. That's a lot of gold to waste on stats you waste.

Also Sejuani's female, you should use 'she' and 'her' when refering to her, not 'he and his'.

IBG is 10% CDR. His CDR from items is 40%. He could get away with not picking up the 5% mastery and still hit the cap with his build.

You do realize that Sej's w scales off of her own HP right?

WinramsMar 16, 20151 votes

Read her ability again, her W scales off the enemies HP

SpecterVonBarenMar 16, 20151 votes

The initial hit scales off of enemy's health but the aoe part scales from HER health.

WinramsMar 16, 20151 votes

That is the damage that hurts the most, the aoe is more of a tickle than anything.

WinramsMar 15, 20151 votes

Without a doubt, however you build Sejunai, he is a BEAST! Another jungler who is Beast mode that rarely anyone plays is AD/Tanky Skarner item 3264 item 3269 item 3707 item 3074 item 3143 item 3068 item 3065 item 3102 Again depending on there comp i will either roll with two armor and one magic resist item or two magic resist and one armor.
