Sejuani's potential is not met with her rework
Her rework overall is a success but it is still lacking and one thing that I have noticed is that she no longer feels as tough as she used to.
Her passive is alright, it reinforced leading the charge and getting into the fight Icebreaker is alright as well kinda.
Her Q is the same but the more I play Sejuani the more I'm thinking this should have been one of the abilities that changed. Azir, Vi, Gragas and now Galio have this simple dash forward ability and it feels kind of dull. It's important to her kit because it is mobility but maybe she could do well with something else.
Her W is what makes her feel weaker overall. Old W was really binary but it gave the feeling that you were doing a ton of damage and fighting like a chieftan. New W does not fill out this fantasy too much due to the short cooldown and how you require precision. Do massive front line leaders accurately target a foe or do they wipe our waves of enemies? Balance wise it's alright but gameplay wise it's kinda dull. The lack of damage also gets bunched in there.
Her E is really clunky to use and the cast animation doesn't make much sense as she rides Bristle, she has no reason to stop. I'm fine with the ability in terms of balance but I think Sejuani could do better with something else. There was a suggestion by BigLincoln to make it a skillshot that did an AoE slow or something. A change like this would feel good to use as you got your skillshot whatever and also feel more powerful with AoE wa pow. Or we could try to use a different mechanic and come up with something new rather than the traditional skill shot or point click or stacks.
Her R is there so yeah.
When I play Mao'Kai I'm like WOW amazing ultimate (actually in love with his ultimate) and A HAH healing with passive and OH HO HO sapling gameplay.
When I play Zac its like WOW Q and WOW R.
Sejuani doesn't really have these wow moments. Gameplay she makes sense but thematically she's lacking pretty hard.
On a side note her W animation still sucks and her frost armor vfx still suck on most of her skins.
