Riots new site says "our games" as if they have more then one. Maybe they announce a new one soon? The rest of the site is really cool as well.

I would have gotten Safari Caitlyn if it was 260 instead. Too bad. That's like the only skin out of that list that I am interested in.

She is a decent amumu alternative, but they still are too scared to actually make the changes she needs in order to be a top pick because of how deadly she could be simply based on her kit.

The main problem is you need to max BOTH Q and E as soon as possible (Q for the CD, E for the damage and slow %), while her W scales pretty badly with levels, but awesomely with health, which you cant actually stack early on.

I've found that since release the best way to go about building her is to grab a point in everything by level 3, then maxing her E for ganks, then her Q for the CD.

Ideally, you dont want to actually get W until level 3, because it doesnt help at all in a level 2 gank, and if you grab blue spamming E is actually about as effective as using W.

The benefit she does have is the new items are all boss for her. Grabbing health and resists is so easy with the new items.

But what she really needs is a massive slice off the CD on her level 1 Q, and to adjust her W to make it more reasonable as the 1 point wonder that it really is.

I challenge the bolded assertion. I will examine two scenarios. First I will examine a first clear scenario (e.g. only Rank 1 in each ability). Then, I will examine clearing at Level 9. For the purposes of this exercise I will ignore any factors which affect both abilities equally (e.g. Machete's damage amplification).

At level 1 with nothing other than Durability and Veteran's Scars, Sejuani will have 571 Health. With Frost on her primary target, this will deal 18(+1.5% Maximum Health) damage every second for 6 seconds. This totals 159 damage. This is more than two and a half times the damage that Permafrost does. Given that Permafrost's cooldown is actually one second longer, it is mathematically impossible for it to be "about as effective".

At level 9 with no health items whatsoever, Sejuani will have 1267 Health. Rank 1 Northern Winds will deal 222 damage to a target with Frost, and Rank 5 Permafrost will deal 260 damage every 11 seconds. Rank 5 Northern Winds will deal 624 damage to a target with Frost. Again, it's mathematically impossible for Permafrost to be "about as effective", even if you're also using rank 1 Northern Winds.

The fact of the matter is that maxing anything other than W first will result in slower clearing. That's not to say you should max W first, but that it's inaccurate to claim that there's no significant different between W and E when it comes to clearing.

Coming from the PoV of a guy who plays Sej pretty often, you need W at level 1 (Wolves and blue are a royal pain in the ass without em), and level 2 W makes clearing red easier, but you can leave it there in favour of getting E a little earlier. Always max E first obviously, most of the time though I end up maxing W before Q, mostly because I am farming a bunch rather than ganking. I can see why maxing Q before W would be better, but I just can't seem to remember that in game. Oh well.

Damage and speed is less, but spaming E isnt gonna get you killed by red, which is what I meant by about as effective. Its gonna still let you jungle. Plus you can spam off 2 E's, which you cant do with W (standing for a full 12 seconds vs standing still for .5)

That's kind of like comparing a Model T and a Lamborghini and saying they're "about as effective" because both will get you to the grocery store down the street. You're omitting some very important information and if you were a car salesman in my employ I'd fire you on the spot. In a discussion of effective methods of jungling (or any facet of LoL for that matter) being so vague and wishy-washy is a cardinal sin.

Also, even if a creep lasts exactly 11 seconds so you only get 1 W off you still do more damage, and it's all done 5 seconds sooner (that's the more than two and a half times the damage part).
