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

Ult could be a huge bomb, and the E could be the mines from her current E.

Does kind of seem like Riot dislikes giving Sejuani new VFX though when you look at her historically (7 skins and only 1 with new VFX?).

I think there will be changes, it's literally the first day of the PBE-Cycle. Remember WW and Galio Rework? They even gave their 520 skins Effects later in the cycle.

Difference is that these are not full VGU's. Tbh they don't really owe us much.

I'm not saying "Omg they hate us and they suck" I'm giving them feedback that I think these skins currently look awful.

Malz has skins? I just thought his skins bugged out and went away every 30 seconds.

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.

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.

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

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.

All the previous red vfx, explosions etc put across the idea of such. I'm aware of the inspiration behind the skin, but it stills portrays the idea of a fire-esque skin regardless.

As for particle effects it's still severely lacking in new assets where in the past they were all new. Now they're just recolours of the classic.

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.

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.

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.

100% agree
