Why Sejuani feels bad to play now

PapaGreg21··4 votes·401 views

I have played Sejuani a lot for several years and this is probably my least enjoyable time playing her. Old Sejuani was at least great for extended period of disruption where you could aoe slow multiple enemies. Now, too much of her power is in proccing her freeze for her E ability. She's a tank and should be in fights for extended periods of time. Unfortunately all of her damage budget comes in a single target spell with a longish cooldown. She should really have none of her power in her E ability and more of it moved to her W where she can put sustained damage on targets throughout the fight.

You can use your E on multiple targets in a fight and her W also slows. The only time she's worse than before is when losing due to not having all her power in pressing R.

worse at killing people, worse at dueling, worse at initiating, worse in prolonged teamfights

doesn't seem like a great improvement

She's better at 1v1ing and can even top lane better than before. She also works well for ganking lanes with any melees too as they apply forst when near you to stun a target, or multiple targets quickly. It's just she's more item dependent, which makes her feel worse to play when losing than before because now you want to stay alive longer for additional E procs. Previous Sejuani wasn't as concerned because R was very game changing especially in jungle fights where you could stun 5 people and knock them up with Q.

I played both versions of Sej top and jungle, and she's been my favorite jungler since her release. Picked her in ranked even when she was considered a troll pick.

The only thing I like is that her w pushes back the minions. I find that very satisfying. Otherwise I agree

Every teammate can proc her E so her E can be used to stun whole enemy team then redo it with R. Your complaint is invalid due to lack of knowledge of her mechanics.

She's like a better version of Leona now. You should try her support.

Only melees in certain range (they get a buff and a little visual line when it applies) provides stacks for Sejuani.

I don't actually use Sejuani lol, my friend does. Works beautifully for us, Wukong + Sejuani bottom lane lol

Sejuani was, by far, my favorite champion. I'm gold and i played here Jungle , sometime mid or support depending the machup.

Now she has 0 damage, she cant jungle, she can't clear a minion wave, she is useless as support. Leona has 3 times more damage output than the new Sej. Problem is not really about damage, it's really about gameplay and teamwork. It's not like Sej was really OP and she needed nerf, she was never ban, and really rarely played, so just tell me WHY they nerfed damage by 90% Maybe Rito just want that fucking leesin on every game.

I really feel like the guy who did the rework was drunk or he really hate sejuani. Now that my favorite champion as been broken i don't even want to play anymore.

Can someone explain why Riot focus on 3 rework at the same time ???, Why they can't just balance old champion or create new one ? No they prefer to rework Old champ that work fine, much easier.

I was already really sad after tarik and gragas rework. But this time its really a BIG BIG SHIT. Thanks rito .
