Does Riot not even understand their own champions (Sejuani buff and *nerf*)

PASSIVE - FURY OF THE NORTH FROST ARMOR REMOVAL Damage from epic monsters and enemy champions ⇒ Damage from all monsters and enemy champions

This is from the patch notes. Riot is acting like large monsters don't proc her passive currently. The only things that can't proc her passive are small wolves, small raptors, and med/small krugs.

With this new patch, those monsters I just listed will be able to proc it. The only camp it really matters are krugs, as the med/small krugs take a bit more time to kill compared to raptors/wolves. Raptor/wolves die all at the same time so the fact a small wolf/raptor can proc it doesn't matter if they die at the same time the large raptor/wolf does.

The only other scenario this can matter is if you got counter jungled and you are killing the small monsters to finish the camp, and something happens suddenly and you have to go in or if you go to clear the camp and the enemy jungler jumps on you. But it rarely happens so lol.

Pretty huge buff. 10% bonus attack speed in exchange for something that barely mattered? Sign me up. Apparently removing that "abusive" mechanic that pro players "abused" leaves room for this buff and potentially more, lol...? I don't think Riot understands why Sejuani was played in Pro play and how her passive works.

Now if you're doing krugs your passive won't reload while killing the little ones, neither with wraiths, so you'll prob get to the next camp without your passive)))

I think it will really matter for pro, because of 1st clear. Nothing more. 1st clear is gonna be more risky vs lee/j4 etc I guess.

I'm pretty sure the balancing team only plays assassins, mages and adcs. It feels like this trio is solely what the game is balanced around these days.

The other classes are just there to make the above three look good, and champs that can remotely keep them in line, especially assassins, don't stay that way for long.
