Sejuani Champion Spotlight is live
Riot posted the Sejuani Spotlight late last night, giving us the first look at the League’s first mounted champion. I wasn’t all that excited about Sejuani until I saw the way her mount moved around. I have to say, I’m a little sad it took Riot this long to make a mounted champion. Sejuani looks awesome. Yes, I said awesome. I’m not talking about her skills, just the way she actually looks running around. I would really like to see more champions like this – the animations are just very, very cool.
As for her actual abilities, it’s tough to say. I only had one game with her today. I was surprised to find that her Shyvana-style AoE scaled with her health. In the single game I played I laned top against a Lee Sin and actually held my own. He definitely underestimated my tankiness and control, which allowed me to rocket ahead fairly early in the game. Unfortunately, my team’s comp wasn’t great and our Wukong disconnected somewhat late in the game. We ended with a surrender.
I will probably try to get a few more games in with her over the course of the week, so keep an eye out for an impressions post. Though I did enjoy my playtime with her, I would like to see her get a little more Leona-style tankiness rather than the big health, medium damage she currently has. I could see a damage-dealing, Trinity Force build doing fairly well on her, as unfortunate as that is to say. We’ll see.
the tooltip was rather vague but i was under the impression that her W scaled with enemy health.
funny you should mention a tanky trinity force build, popular theory right now say that you should play sejuani as a direct copy paste of skarner.
as a disruptive tanky jungler
same runes
attackspeed

0/21/9
same item build
CORE: Philo stone, boots, sheen, heart of gold
COMPLETE: shurelias reverie, mercury treads, trinity force, randuins omen, force of nature, aegis of legion.
i could litteraly keep everything the same and flip which champion i want based on what the team needs at the time.
That’s actually one of the first things I said about her when I was watching the spotlight – she looks a lot like Skarner.
I think jungling makes a lot of sense. I felt strong in top lane but I didn’t feel like my team was getting any real benefit out of all of my CC and disruption.
just purchased sejuani and tried her in a practice game, her early jungle 1-3 is kinda weak did get a leash so it wasa dangerous to start with anyways, but once youve got a philo stone and heart of gold your jungle is quite strong. the build works like a charm, id swap the force of nature i mentioned earlier with a banshees veil as it gives more HP for her W and my MR was like 223 while my armor was 192 so it would help to balance out the numbers and bolster against physical damage a bit better.
CC spam combo Q W E R E those poor bastards arent going anywhere.
above I meant to say i did NOT get a leash, will post up later with results for a leashed jugle path, with no leash the path was too dangerous to start with a regrowth and a potion, but cloth and 5 works easy.
im hoping to hit 4 and gank with above 50% hp starting regrowth + potion, if i can get a leash im sure it will work.
League has mounted champs; Corki and Nunu!
