Go ahead and cancel the sej rework.

after reading it over a few times I think you guys are mordeing her.

She isn't a warleader that relies on her forces to be strong, She is a warleader certainly, but she is a warleader that focuses on personal strength. the other members of the winters claw would never have followed her for their own benefit, but for the respect they would have of an equal working to create a freljord that they all want. the current gameplay already suits her lore well, she charges into battle first, with her allies following her close behind, she is the vangaurd, the first into battle, she fights on her own terms, but with th echange it looks like she isn't even going to be an initiator anymore. she looks like she is going to rely on someone else going in, and her following them. this is a terrible idea.

and IT looks like you guys are still drinking from the same cup that morde came from, melee carry support. (support in reference to making the role a thing, rather than the actual role, support) This is a stupid idea, and for gods sake if you really need it just design a new champion with matching lore to become one rather than gimping the design of an already well rounded champion for the sake of it.

Plus the fact that sej was one of the more unique vanguards already, with the ranged initiate.

I don't see what your issue with her is. I love playing Sejuani, but after you press R her kit is bland, and it feels bad when you don't get multiple people stunned in her ult (if anyone). Hopefully these changes remedy that feeling and help her feel more fun and impactful after just pressing R.

Her kit feels great, the hell you on about. she flies in, blasts the enemy team, and begins slaming the enemy to pieces with her combo. plus her slowing to cathc people that think they can escape.

she was great, visceral. maybe she just wasn't for you.

Actually I love her Q and R, but after those abilities are used, the rest of her kit feels really boring. The fact that her E might now be a targeted Freeze is so cool in my opinion. Let's not judge anything before we see the actual rework, okay?

the thing is, unlike other reworks they are changing on of the good skills. her r will no longer be her r, they already confirmed that. this is BAD. I also did like the e kills. eat their flash only for them to still die.

Exactly, just her ranged initiate, then she becomes a useless meatshield with pitiful damage accompanied with a lack of CC. I get how people uses the "he got mordekai'ed" meme nowadays especially with Malzahar, but this has to stop.

For instance, you just don't understand how lacking & underpowered Sejuani is right now.

  • She's only useful with her AoE stun ult.
  • Passive felt like nothing, as her early sustain is as squishy as Karthus jungle.
  • Q is 2nd most useful kit after her ult, but unlike Sion or Maokai, she has no form of self-defence.
  • WE combo is unnoticeable af, as it doesn't provide any noticeable CC or damage it deals.

she was actually great, I could duel fighters and adcs. maybeyou just need to learn how to build.

You probably fought a ton of bad players to think Sejuani is in a "good" state right now.

again, you still probably just need to learn how to build. getting some mpen and a lot of health with the proper defenses meant it was an easy task to get to a target and kill them. if they tried to mano a mano you and you wereven you would normally win so long as they didn't have a counter in their kits or items.

yeah. pretty worried that this will be impossible balance and will take away from what early 1v1 power she had. Nothing like bursting down over confident counter-junglers when they feel you're a free kill.

Also, the fact that she only seems to synergize with melee means she might be a bad pick when your fellow low elo teammates selfishly pick nothing but ranged squishies when it used to feel like i could save the entire comp.

In the long run i guess it'll be fine but there's no way her kit will be implemented and fine as-is. Think the amount of changes made to Illaoi from her implementation to now, at the very least.

this settles it... switching over to Amumu.

Glad Riot settled the Amumu vs Sejuani debate. This is basically the end of Cold War and capitalism (the champ that sells more skins) has prevailed over communism Sej Mother Russia.
