Sejuani's skins feel like they went DOWN in quality.

So we've now seen what Sejuani's skin are going to look in this upcoming update and frankly I'm pretty sad.

  1. It was a situation to improve on old skins and the opportunity wasn't taken like usual. Riot's usually pretty uncaring and somewhat disrespectful towards their old content though, so this doesn't surprise me, but it's still disappointing. Maokai got a TONNE of love in this regard, Sejuani got nill.

  2. Her only 1350 skin (Bear Rider) lost the detonation SFX from her E. Not too mention the W particles are just recolours of the classic instead of completely new particles like the current iteration. On top of all of that when stunning, a giant icicle now sticks out of the opponent, seriously ruins the immersion on what was previously a fire-esque skin. Clarity is one thing, but I don't see any reason why the icicle needs to be there now when it has never been an issue in the past. What happened to the bombs? The chains? I paid full price for this and you rip me off 2 years later?

  3. Poro Rider feels like a a downgrade to the previous iteration.

  4. The ice/frost armor covering seriously clouds out a lot of the skins finer details. To be frank, it's extremely ugly.

EDIT: Formatting and Grammar.

Agree 100%, I strongly dislike it. Russej should have bombs and chains, not ice. frost armor is hideous, too

And it's a shame we didn't get recolors for her 750 skins

I think Russej would look better if her ult put a larger version of the current E mine. Would make sense for the explosion, too

Malzahar Did somebody say ruined skins due to the update?

I imagine that these skins are still being worked on.

My god, Riot done fucked it up with the Bear Calvary skin. Let's just hope, they respond to the feedback and fix it.

AAH so thats what that ugly blue spot instead of a head was, frost armor. It looks like a giant blue pixel.

The icicle likely has to stay in all of her skins as it is an indicator that sejuani will deal bonus damage to the victim if she autoattacks them.

If Poro Rider Sejuani really has to keep that...passive, perhaps making the poro's green scarf glow (magic should be plentiful in Runeterra) might be more likable than in the state it is right now as it really does look like an eye sore at this point.

Bear Cavalry Sej isn't a fire skin though. Not in the slightest. Its supposed to be a Russian skin, similar to Northern Front Swain. As for the particles effects, it has a different stacking icon, explosives sounds when she lands her W ability, and the "icicle" is surrounded by chains.

Always breaks my heart how with these class updates' new abilities skins get recolours at best. Maokai's probably the first champion I can think of who got so much love in an updated ability. A good example is the 1350 Soulstealer Vlad, whose new E was just the regular E but coloured green...

Of course... Riot ruins yet another of my fav junglers with a trash rework and takes a hatchet to the quality of my fav skin too.

It's the garbage rework they gave to my poor ex-fav jungler Skarner mashed together with the utterly pigshit lousy art/model changes they inflicted on Fiora.... who used to be one of my favorite tops.

Seriously. Fuck you Riot. Just, fuck you.

100% agree

My only big issue is the fact that the dawnchaser? (The one she's on a lion) His armor is frosted instead of his main, a frosty snow main would look much better for that skin's passive.

I'm willing to bet money that is just like the Warwick situation. We've had one patch, let's wait it out.
