Sejuani

With the new jungle changes is Sejuani even viable? I'm debating picking her up but want to save my IP in case I like a Christmas skin on a champ I dont have. Suggestions?

I read they are updating her but I was confused to what the hell they are doing. My guess is that their improving her early jungle time and nerfing her late game. Which sounds like a good update because she has an insane late game maybe even the best but he early game is so bad. I like sejuani she has so much cc and the second you get in melee range of sejuani mid-late game you have 2 choices. Kill sejuani who has full 4k health plus a shitload of armor, magic resist or die because she is impossible to excape because she just has so much cc and even if you flash she will unleash her perma frost from a far range and that slows you so much.

Actually, some number crunching has shown her early game is to be nerfed with the PBE changes.

In addition, they're lowering the CD on her E (recharges faster) but cutting the debuff her passive applies in half, meaning you have a smaller window to actually activate it.

Sejuani is what got me into wanting to jungle.

Pre-Season changes are a total wash for her. She has a harder first clear, and she lost tankyness and sustain with her clears if she dares to not buy Ranger.

Did I mention that they moved the %Max Health Damage from her Q to the initial AA of her W? Because it's not like she had a hard time trading damage before, right?

Honestly, at this point, I can't even tell what the Balance Team WANTS her to be.

I think their trying to seperate her from amumu because they are argueably the most similar champions in the game In my opinion.

I really was looking forward to maining Sejuani. With my set up generally being played in jungle, I can never clear 2 camps without recalling back to base for more health potions and loss of time. Maybe viable in top lane where you can get experience and money quicker. As far as jungle, forget about it.

I looked at a couple of your Sejuani games and I have some recommendations.

When you get a chance, upgrade your runes since she needs them to jungle early. I would recommend MS quints, armor seals, attack speed marks, and CDR or MR glyphs. Note, you don't want to buy T2 runes. T1 are alright for a placeholder (very cheap, mediocre stats) but you preferably want T3.

For masteries, I would recommend 0/17/13 (though you don't have all the points for that yet. You are only level 14, so I would recommend using this.

For items, you want to purchase the Ranger's Trailblazer after clearing roughly 3 camps and build that into Juggernaut. My normal build looks something like this: item 3117 item 3725 item 3110 item 3190 item 3151

I suggest you look at surrender at 20 .net since the christmas skins are shown there and you can decide now if you like any of them. I love Sejuani's concept so I picked her up a while back. I haven't trued her in the new jungle yet, though.

Sejuani is one of those champions where if you didn't already have the game in the bag, you never will. She's an unstoppable roid machine on a rampage if your whole team ends up winning. Otherwise, she's an underwhelming meat shield that dies a lot, if you're losing.

nah. Her ult is gamechanging. Done it plenty of times myself in a seemingly lost game.

With the right runes and masteries, she clears jungle fine. Her ult is game-changing and her ganks are top tier.

Her early clears in the jungle were never great, the new jungle simply emphasizes that even more.

Also with the changes on PBE, maxing E first is no longer the best option since the damage was reduced aswell as the slow %. CD on permafrost was reduced, but with the small amount of time you have to turn a gank into a success, I say not worth until late game teamfights.

Maxing W first will be the best option with the PBE changes.

She'll be in good shape soon. Make sure to grab the Poro skin before the holidays are over! :D
