Am I the only who thinks the Tank Update is the worst update to happen?

I was so hyped about the updates, but when I saw the ability previews, I just felt like it was so underwhelming.

Sejuani's ultimate in particular feels so forgettable. An ultimate should feel powerful, look powerful and ~~be powerful ~~ (nevermind about being poweful). Instead its effects are so underwhelming and easily forgotten. Oh, so Sejuani throws her flail, stuns someone then a mini Anivia-like Glacial Storm detonates in 2 seconds for a massive slow.

Maokai's ultimate looks strong, but the counterplay of a root stopping the moment it hits you just feels meh (why can't you just get rooted for a reduced duration?) And the visual effects on the roots look horrible, I thought there would be like leaves and branches of the root sticking out, but it's just 5 blobs of brown mess advancing towards you. Visually unappealing. and why do the roots have green hues? Like it was summon from the underworld :S? Let's not forget the highly bugged W, the old animation from W looks so much nicer.

Zac's update for most parts look and feel like a real update, being modernized up to League's current standards of gameplay.

But still.. 2 out 3 candidates who feel rather meh. Even though everything is a work in progress, but it feels like the update team put such little effort in to updating these champions. Nothing about this update feels hyped. I was excited because I want to have more Sejuanis and Maokais in my team instead of running in to carry junglers but now I'm just thinking I rather have the same ol because I'm willing to bet the updated champions will take a bit of getting used to

TL;DR - This update looks and feels the most uninteresting one to date. Was looking forward to the comebacks of CC-tanks but I guess it won't feel as great.

Every new thing is "the worst thing that could happen" in the eyes of a few people.

atleast they're only screwing with 3 champs instead of a whole list of aids champs....

fuck the mage update.

fuck the assassin update.

class updates are just another word for "failed reworks"

new sejuani ult looks much more powerful than the old one despite being weaker numerically.

It hasn't hit live yet, things can still change
