I think you made an excellent point with the mention of her mediocre stats in combination with zero defense steroid.

It's interesting to see that she has very similar stats to Nautilus, swapping higher hp and hp5 for lower mana and mp5. They have identical base armor and MR not factoring in the Sej passive.

Looking at them they both have a tremendous amount of CC.

Naut has a snare, slow, pull(displacement), aoe knockup (technically a straight line), and a knockup that also stuns. Nautilus also gets his defensive steroid of a shield for 100-300 + 15% of max hp.

Sejuani has a slow, knockup, slow/stun combined into her ultimate. The only "defense steroid", which it really can't be called anyway, is her passive and pretty much everyone seems to have an issue with it.

I very much agree that her power is in the wrong place. Her big power hit comes in the form in a low range skillshot, which is at best unreliable when you consider flash has identical range. W is admittedly at best a lack luster skill used largely for clearing purposes, don't get me wrong if you stick to them hard enough it puts out some decent damage when you factor in the % health and AP scaling, but people really don't like to give you free damage on them for some reason.
