Sejuani after Aftershock and Stoneplate

CHARLIE MURPHY··16 votes·6,943 views

I think Riot needs to take a hard look at Sejuani when they look at changing the numbers on Aftershock. Part of the reason she became so broken is because her passive had some ridiculous synergy with both Gargoyle Stoneplate and Aftershock.

With runes looking to be under review, I really hope they adjust her passive to something a little more than "Here's free stats for starting a fight". It basically is just aftershock but with a different trigger. A new passive and new ultimate are what I personally believe she needs, you could easily make her current E a skillshot to retain the theme of throwing a bola, however I think her old E (as flavourless as it was) was much more intuitive to her kit and didn't overload her with hard CC. Even though its not anywhere near as powerful as it used to be, her ultimate is still her main anchor as the balance team is unsure of how to juggle its power relative to her other abilities, so ultimately she suffers for it.

To be honest however, I am expecting the 'Riot Special' where Aftershock gets nerfed and Sejuani gets left in the dust, like she has been before each of her 2 reworks, but I would very much like this to not be the case. Would love for some discussion on potential updates that could be thrown her way.

Both kits are fantastic, and flow fantastically, I remember buying Iceborn on old Sej every single game and just being a permaslow champion. Literally every ability I had gave CC. The new kit took some getting used to however it is really good, I like it, it isn't broken like you claim. In fact she is facing a really low win rate in higher elos because of how bad she is at contesting objectives like scuttle. The kit as a whole however is great, its just that as a tank right now, she doesn't have the ability to do what others like graves can do. I would almost like to see her get a buff to the W and how much damage it does to monsters, but overall I can play her and win 70% of games, so I'm happy.

i dont know what to say, but i liked the thread , cause i like Sejuani, was one of my first junglers and there are imo too few champs who has the thematic of a riding-champ.

don't leave Seju alone. Even your baby Lee gets attention from time to time.

Sejuani is actually trash tier jungle right now, only ahead of the reworked nunu. Her e is impossible to 4 stack on anything because 1, your auto attacks are too slow, max you usually get is 3 from w, and then no one on your team can get the last auto for the stun before they dash away. The per target cooldown on the e is also way too high making it useless past one use on a gank.

Her w does no damage, and is physical damage for some reason, her q has a 20 second cooldown, and you have to max it last otherwise you cant clear and your e is better the more dmaage it does.

But the cherry on top of how shit she is. is her ult, now you cant stun more than one person, not to mention the aoe slow is absolutely trash. 30% slow what a joke. And melee range it basically is a 1 second stun which is actually worst than your e.

The old sej was 100 times better, and easier to balance. This new sej is horrible and outside of either ridiculous numbers or rune/item synergy she will never be viable.

I hope riot open their fucking eyes at a jungler that has a 39% winrate above plat, and fucking buffs it or changes it altother. please for the love of God do something.
