And one day later they all get reverted. Not adjusted, completely removed and forgotten just like Sejuani is right now. God forbid Riot make an earnest attempt to revive a fun champ that they ruined after cinderhulk's introduction, but Xin? He needed those stupid changes that were clearly over the line for a champ that was already strong. His changes weren't experimental even though they should be. Such favoritism.
They got reverted?
I'm somewhat pleased.... but at the same time disappointed.

The funny part is, Sejuani wasn't even that good .... not even during Cinderhulk's reign. You'd still see Lee Sin, Elise, Gragas and others before you'd see Sejuani. Current Zed is far more overpowered than Cinderhulk era Sejuani.
Sejuani currently has a 50% win-rate; she is by no means underpowered. She is still a very strong and influential pick when played correctly.
While her damage is lower than it was previously, that's completely understandable considering the amount of AoE CC she provides, her damage being entirely AoE, her ultimate providing a safe form of engage and disengage, and her Q providing unconditional mobility.
The only buff I'd honestly like to see is a slight AA-range extension on her W-empowered basic attack (only the first hit). It can be a bit awkward to land when used as an autoattack reset, though it's still fairly reliable due to her CC.
Malphite, Sion, Gragas, Udyr, Vi were all better back when Sejuani was OP.
Yes, Sej was OP. But they over nerfed her. Especially when Riot slightly nerfs everyother OP, then nerfs the item that was OP, and ovre buffs other champs. Sej just fell off. Still viable, very much so. But not as good of a choice as say something that is more OP.
No one has fun vs CC tanks.
Because it was a pretty significant change. Being able to combo and slow off of your teammates slows is something no other champ can do anything close to. It probably came with a host of clarity issues or maybe it just felt really awkward to do. Or hell, maybe they just thought itd be an awesome theme for a new champ kit but really doesnt fit Sej thematically at all.
Either way, give it a few days.

(It's from reddit because riot likes to post more on there when it comes to talking about balance it seems)
The rioter said they were gonna do so more small changes later on and try a bigger ability change in the future.
So yeah.
She's not getting dropped completely.
Not to mention she's also keeping the other changes she got as well.
Meh, I don't really want Riot to buff her. I'll take the 2 QoL changes we're getting but I'd much rather leave it at that. So tired of my champions getting buffed and then becoming FOTM.
Considering Sejuani's sitting at pretty much a dead even 50%, I'd say she's fine.
The top/best junglers are sitting at 53%+ winrates right now, and they're all considered borderline OP or OP, so yeah...
She still has some changes. People seem to think Sej is in a bad place. They are naive. Going from 56% win rate to 50% is not getting dumpstered. Its a good thing. Usually people at 56% drop down to 44% afterwards, so this is a good thing.
Some time ago she had a PBE change where she could E off of allied unit's slowing their opponents. PBE patch of 1st march has a buff to the damage of early ranks of E
Stop panicking, and let them do their job, she is clearly going to get a buff in the near future.
