correct me if im wrong but the new sejuani besides her q bristle is just a mount that doesnt attack now?

old sejuani during her w he would replace her autos during the flail but now since the flail spin is gone im assuming he doesnt do anything besides carry her and charge with q

most cases i would be fine but it seems like a bit of a waste considering this isnt just a regular mount like a horse or even skarl (one not capable of usefull combat and another being a coward) but this is a gigantic boar

like LOOK AT THIS THING

its so big and ugly and adorable

but it can only walk around and sometimes headbutt charge

im alright with it but its a bit odd

thoughts?

I am disappointed in Riot. They didn't even listen to the best idea for a Sejuani rework. Poor Bristle.

it'd be hard to get an animal to fight back unless under attack. if the animal is disciplined and trusts the rider it would walk through fire without so much as a whimper. bristle might strike out when sejuani criticals. if your mount is flailing all over the place and you're trying to swing a flail on top of the beast you're more likely to hurt yourself rather than hurt your enemies. so it does make sense to a degree. in all honesty though the fact that an unarmored woman using a flail on the back of a wooly boar in the middle of a frozen tundra is just a bit crazy to begin with.

You also forgot that Bristle was the one that cast her E but whatever. I guess now Bristle (which gender?) does nothing other than charge with Q. Unfortunate. If we are lucky, which we will not be, the new Sejuani can be so broken they revert back the changes... not happening though.

It's the gameplay changes to Sejuani that make me sad. I don't know what the final form will be but just at face value, I'm not sure if I will have a reason to pick Sejuani anymore (and she was already one of the lowest popularity champions). I think the changes actually go against RIOT's design philosophy about maintaining what makes a champion unique as well - not that RIOT's use of design philosophy makes sense all that often.

I overlooked this as well :C Maybe Sejuani first basic attack after Q is Bristle and also auto attacks against frozen enemies is Bristle?

She called the last one Bristle, and she'll call this one Bristle too until it no longer suits her purposes.

Such is the Circle of Life.

The boar attacks always bugged me actually. She's the only champion in the game with a flail so it was disappointing that all she did with it was twirl it above her head.
