Oh please Riot, these Sejuani Skins just don't look any good to me (anymore)

Now that Sejuani is beeing reworked anyway in mid season, I beg Riot to do something about these skins and their ability effects. First of all, the new passive just looks so horrible on pretty much all of the skins except maybe Traditional and Bear Cavalry Sejuani. On the Poro Rider Skin, it's even hard to see any difference to the normal model. Additionally, there's not even a point in buying that skin anymore, since their abilities are pretty much the same as in the default skin.

However my biggest concern is about the Beast Hunter and the Dawn Chaser Skins. I LOVE their models so much and I hate to say, that all the ability effects make the skins as a whole look terrible, but they just do. The problem is, that you took the idea of Sejuani beeing a "frosty" leader away into a completely different direction. She either is riding on a dinosaur or a lion and the ice theme just doesn't fit with these themes anymore! I beg you to at least make some recolors of the abilities (at least of the passive, as it is incredibly ugly imo) for at least these two skins just to match their theme. Also it doesn't make any sense anyway to make Sejuani sit on an ice saddle with the Dawn Chaser Skin. It just feels stupid to me. I recommend you to take that skin a step towards some more golden colors. For the Beast Hunter one, it may look good to give it some red. I don't really know about that one, but the current icy blue just looks bad on both of them.

In my opinion the Dinosaur one could be easily fixed by giving it some sort of skin it'd shed once it's attacked.

That's why it's important to get feedback threads like this out right now, because once it's pushed to live significant changes will no longer be actionable.

Yeah, I agree.

I wish the OP had a slightly more respectful tone... The post comes across as very "whining child" to me. But it isn't wrong to bring something like this to their attention.

In my opinion Beast Hunter is fine, since its a 750 rp skin and a reference to Monster Hunter, where you can have different elements, so the icy particles don't seem too off here. But they really need to do something about her Sabretusk skin! It costs 975 rp, but has no changes whatsoever! The icy particles destroy the whole fantasy of the skin! It really deserves some love...

What i really wanna know is where riot gets off charging 975 rp for these skins. I never really looked because all of her skins are underwhelming, but all they did was literally just a model change same is her 750 skins.... poro rider is the only "exception" since it has a new recall, but holy crap riot was so lazy with her skins.

Not sure if that's what you meant, but Dawnchaser and Beast Rider are not 975 RP, they're 750.

I'm talking about all of her 975 skins.

ahhh i see, was confused from the way you formatted that

but yea they dont usually make as many 975 skins as they did back then so the quality was a bit confused depending on rp so those skins aren't as bumped up visually as they would be now

in fact they barely get any 975 skins now a days. its either

1350 riot is commited to the skin and it being really visually pleasing 750 rp riot knows this will only be a model change rare cases where its 975 rp so only small changes like recall only and one or two visual fx changes

It's early feedback. Give them time to fix it.

Beastmaster should not have a block of ice on top of Bristle's head. I use that skin all the time and am pretty upset.

macromiteApr 19, 20171 votes

I kinda like beast hunter tbh.

MisticaltomApr 19, 20171 votes

Still not a big fan of the visuals on her new passive. It's pretty much the old passive with a visual makeover. A lazy, "we only had blue lipstick" makeover.

Thrown on all the skins.

Same thing happend to malz when he got the ugly shield, it looks horrible on pretty much all his skins.

I really like how it looks on dawn chaser personally

GreenLoreApr 20, 20171 votes

I agree and I think they should treat the other skins similar to dawn chaser. Because for most of her skins,they just slap some ice on Bristles head,the only exceptions are I think Dawn chaser and Bear cavalry where only her equipment glows,which honestly looks better in my opinion.

I feel the passive is way too dominate and makes all the skin's quality amateur-ish. It's like someone took a crayon, drew on top of the skin and tada!
