+1 vote, great guide :)

@koridjinn : Thank for the upvote :) I'm having a difficult time writing the teamplay chater (there's just way too many scenarii to cover >.<) so it's not ready yet. I'm really saddened too cause Sejuani is the champions that match my playstyle the most. Her main problem is that she's a mid/late game teamfighter. So except if you're playing her as a jungler (like so many), she doesn't bring much to the table early on. That's why i think playing her jungle is a mistake cause if she's not set for late game, she will fall behind. In that case, better play her as an agressive support that will only have to use her ultimate later on if you want my opinion ...

As for playing her as a bruiser, this is something i said i would try and that i've been working on lately. I think it could help with her poor early game (as a solo-laner that is). My main problem has been finding the good masteries and runes to use. Items you will use depend on your laning opponent and the ennemy team arsenal of course. What i like behind the idea is that it gives you both physical and magical damage that can be a pain to counter for your ennemy. Some exotic items could be fun to use but to be honest this is still under testing and i've come with nothing safe yet.

@DarkPercy : It's nice to hear criticism back.
If you put Sejuani on a solo lane, you're cearly not aiming at early game advantage. That is if you play all alone (which is usually the case). But if your jungler is smart enough to come and help you, you can easily get kills as both Sejuani and your jungler should be able to shut your opponent down.

About Exhaust, i explained why i pick that spell over other options but i guess i can add more explanations. Most see Sejuani as a jungler with powerful ganks, making her a killing machine. I see her as a tank and as someone that is here to protect her team. The point of Exhaust here is not the slow or the early game agression but the damage reduction and the utility for team fights. It can be used both to protect someone on your team or to shut a threat in the ennemy team.

As for maxing Nothern winds or Permafrost first, there are as many reasons to max one before the other. Will you have help from your jungler ? Are you planing to get health items early on ? Who are you facing and can you duel him ? There are so many different cases. Why i prefer Northern Winds is beacause the damage dealt tend to surprise most opponents. And as soon as you can offer a giant belt, it becomes really effective. Now as i said in the guide, you will most of the time put points in Permafrost earlier than i did.

Exhaust is unnecessary and not effective on Sejuani. Slows become a lot less effective when stacked on each other. Sejuani is also already tanky enough.

I dont know why people max W first on Sejuani lol. E gives you pretty much exactly as much damage and it's more reliable AND it slows more when you level it up.

Sejuani can't win any lane. I really believe she can only jungle effectively.

+1 mate. This is a great in-depth guide, better than even the Jungle Guides!
I enjoy your guide layout (appearance happens to be a huge selling point for me). The guide is detailed and your build is viable.
As a Sejunai player myself, this guide makes her look AWESOME. I'm tired of people talking about how bad she is ("worst champion in the game") when in fact, she is one of the strongest tanks in LoL, along with being able to provide a lot of utility.
Please continue on with this guide, along with a Laning and Team Fight phase! This guide could possibly bring new light on Sejuani's viability in LoL.
p.s. Do you think a AD bruiser-tank build is viable on Sejuani? E.g. Froz Mal (PERMA-SLOW), Hexdrinker, perhaps even Wriggle's. An early Phage, GP10 items and then tank items perhaps? The idea behind it is simply beating carries to death, and constantly applying Frost.

@Rayketh : Thanks a lot :)

I also made an account just to vote. This guide should be rated higher. I really like playing Sejuani in lane, but the top guides right now are pretty much exclusively jungling, so this helped me figure out what to do in lane.

Thanks! Keep up the good work!

@giantzombie : Thanks for the upvote and the feedback.
I didn't want to force anyone to put a comment to vote, i'm not aiming for the highest rating. It's just a modest guide that i mainly wrote for fun. I'll probably think about it for another guide tho.
You are right about that section of her role in team fights. I must write it, it would be a very good addition. And truth is Sejuani only really shines when she's with her team. That's what i want to bring forward.
To be honest, it is not done yet mostly due to my laziness ... but you didn't read that.

Good guide, worth the +1. Better also put on comment to vote to have no troll voters

The guide tells a lot, but I'm missing a section about how to play him, act in team fights. I would find that a great new section for the guide.

@Widdershins : Thanks a lot. This is an encouraging comment :)

Long time lurking but when I saw your build I had to sign up just to uprate.

Good job, so few people take the time to give new players multiple options.

@iskillzi : That's a chapter i wanna work on. You just wrote exactly what i was thinking about concerning the first build and i want to do that for each since there's a reason why i picked some items in one and not in the other. Every items are inter-dependant in each build, one brings another

@Pluckin Penguin : Thank you for your comment. That is something i thought about cause i do exactly as you say when i search for a guide on this site : look at the top page, blindly follow the item order and rarely go for details. I was about to publish when i figured that out so i didn't came change anything. But this is an issue i have to work on. I think about at least detailing the build order. Now, the chapter about each build is being worked on already.

@utopus : Thank you :)

@Gottri : I did wondered about an AD build and gave it a few tries. Main problem is i'm not good with melee DPS and know few about AD items. I can't figure out when to get AS over AD, when to get some defense etc, so i can only theorisize.
In Sejuani's case, you get more boots options but Mercury's Treads seems mandatory for me. Going Warmog/Atma seems an obvious choice. I would add a Frozen Mallet at some point. I don't know which AS item would fit. Youmuu's Ghostblade seems to be a nice choice with amor penetration, cooldown and attack speed thru active. Maybe a Zeal turned into a Phatom Dancer later on could be a good idea since it also give movement speed. Throwing a Wit's End may help too. She could also make a good use of Malady. You would also have to add more AD at some point with either Bloodthirster or Dancing Edge.

Have you ever thought of building her AD instead? Her W scales more with HP, Q is a gap closer/escape tool, E and R are CC. I just started experimenting with it (jungle), but once she gets zeal her ganks become really strong since she's got very high base dammage. what's your thoughts on that?
