Sejuani Rework? She lost her identity.

Sejuani is reworked in PBE server, and she is not Sejuani anymore that we knew. Her ult stuns only one champion now.

In these days there are some requirements for A class jungles. Those are clear speed and fighting power in early games. They can give team advantages for victory in early games already. However, every jungle doesn't have to follow the trend. Reworked Sejuani has targeting stun at e and more damage at w compared before. I think she can make difference in early games. She can gank better than before and have more hegemony in jungles struggle, but is that what we needed? Pantheon has the highest winning rate in this mete, but you should not rework Nasus to Jayce or Pantheon. Nasus is Nasus. He is strong at late games. We pick Nasus because of his own strength. That is enough. If late game mete comes, will you rework Pantheon to Nasus? I will gladly run away from Lee Sin at level 2 if Sejuani has her wide stuns. If Sejuani's winning rate is so low, than adjust her stats. Do not change her identity.

I don't like this rework. I've played Sejuani more than 150 games in ranked because I liked her late games. Amumu is reworked also but he became stronger in early games but he still keeps his identity. Why Sejuani(and Zac?) has to be changed? Now it is a completely different champion.

I think Riot have to investigate what users think before making such a big difference. This is too unilateral. Why don't you give us an option that we can get refund of our RP of Sejuani's skins? We lost our Sejuani and new champ whose name is Sejuani is released. I bought those skins because I liked Sejuani before rework.

You prefer her entire identity to be land a great ult late game or else you contribute nothing to the team?

That is a terrible identity to have. I'd much rather prefer her being able to contribute more in the early game, gank more, and have more hegemony in jungles struggle (your words, not mine).

They butchered Maokai and Sejuani. I used to like playing both of these champions but now they're completely different. Maokai's main source of CC has been slowed a ridiculous amount and, honestly, its kind of pointless to even use it. If you dash into a teamfight, what are you gonna do? Before, you would ult and get a massive damage reduction for your team and then do a massive chunk of AoE damage when you deactivates it. His current ult, however, encourages him to not dive. Which was the entire point of the rest of his kit! And wtf are they doing with his E ability? At what point in teamfight is it going to be useful or relevant? Its not relevant now but before he had a massive ult and big engage and some AoE damage on his other abilities to make up for it. They literally took his identity and tossed it out of the fucking window. I'm so angry about what they've done to him, actually.

Sejuani herself is just flatly not Sejuani. Her ult is pitiful and the rest of her kit is meh at best. She only really functions if your ENTIRE TEAM is made up of melee bruisers. Before she had some form of peel and an amazing engage that felt SATISFYING AS HELL to land. Now she doesn't feel fun or engaging at all unless you're playing a melee champion and/or have a melee champ with you to help you do your damage. :/

Zac is the only saving grace of this rework and even then I hate it because they've taken a champion who was always fairly strong and made him stronger because Why not! Zac has a low playrate but he's never had a low winrate; he's consistently good and extremely obnoxious to kill. Out of the tanks that needed reworks or could have been reworked, I feel like he was the LEAST necessary. They aren't even doing any minor changes to other tanks, like Rammus or Malphite(both of which could do with some love and would have fit this rework perfectly).

This entire mid-season update feels incredibly half assed. :/ So far not impressed in the least and instead just majorly pissed that they're ruining two tanks I happen to enjoy playing.

I feel the same way about Maokai.

Had a unique ult that made him standout, and.... replace it with a mass CC ult like every other champion has... cool...
