Sejuani could be easily balanced if Riot would nerf the actual fucking problem
And not everything except the problem. Sejuani's stunlock is bullshit, so is the fact that any melee champ in 700 range of her can stack it for her. Did we nerf that, though? No, Riot decided to nerf her base stats, her passive stats, her R storm, her passive damage, and then we got an E nerf, and predictably it still didn't keep Sejuani out of pro play.
Listen. Here's how you handle this, easy as cake; 1.) Nerf E's aura range to 350. I'm resigned to the fact that Riot won't outright remove this horrible mechanic; you could at least make it reasonable so that Sejuani actually has to be somewhat near to you before Irelia instantly charges up the stun for her. Counterplay is your calling card, right? 2.) Remove R stun. Boom; immediately, Sejuani's BS stun locking vanishes and this + the above solves her OP status in pro play.
In exchange;
- BUFF HER BASE STATS. GENEROUSLY. These are the best changes you can make to a champion for soloQ success.
- Revert R storm nerfs; if you're not going to give me back the 5 man stun fantasy, at least let the cool part of the new ult be the focus since it's the part that creates interesting gameplay
- Make W magic damage. Again, return her soloQ power; let me at least build her like I used to enjoy pre-rework where I could viably run AP bruiser or full AP if I was feeling ballsy. You let Zac and Gragas get AP build buffs, show Sej the same courtesy.
You don't even need to do a revert or throw in any extra changes. These are all simple number adjustments that will easily fix the champion you haven't been able to balance for over a year now.
free of charge btw
