Sejuani, Ornn, and Kalista are all receiving long lists of changes, and although none are too drastic in the design department, the updates are enough to impact how each champion is played. After this patch, they’ll have different power spikes, strengths, and in some cases, different play styles entirely (Ornn).
So, without further adieu, here are all three reworks coming for Ornn, Sejuani, and Kalista.
