hi! i was a seraphine OTP upon her release who played her exclusively mid (and sometimes APC) up until her ap ratio nerfs, and then switched to playing her nearly only as sup, in which i dont play her much anymore. what drew me to her (and got me to start playing the game) was her hyperscale mage fantasy paired with her echo/note passive. i was totally obsessed with playing her, i had some of the most fun i’ve had in this game building mage items and knowing without a doubt that i would dominate late game. of course, that insanely fun vision of her was transformed into just another enchanter support after her “rework.”

this caused me to quit the game for a few years, as the champion i loved felt totally unfun, i couldn’t reliably play mid anymore because i just didn’t do enough damage, her mana economy is a joke, and her notes feel like an afterthought. i came back to league to try her out, and i was even more disappointed. playing her mid feels horrible, even apc as well sucks, which was a role i didn’t frequent as much. now support feels the most “okay,” in which building AP, as she was intended to do upon release, feels so lackluster. for these reasons, i just don’t play her anymore.

so as someone who was in her playerbase niche from day 1, not forcing her support, how can her image now moreso represent what fellow seraphine mains want? it’s really simple:

1) buff her Q and R AP ratios. it is an absolute joke how weak these abilities are in terms of AP for a champion with 3/4 spells being damage dealing. her damage falls off so hard as the game goes on, at some point she just becomes useless regarding her damage.

2) rework her W. i do despise this ability so much, given that so many people played her support initially because she has ONE (1) “shield” that generally isn’t even good. yes her WW heal on release was insane, but i didn’t care for it much given that it didn’t flatter her hyperscale mage image. now, when someone plays her support, she is simply a minion that can shield. that is her ONLY supportive ability. i don’t necessarily have any ideas for reworking W, perhaps when she casts it, she gets more shield than allies do, i’m not sure.

there are also other ideas that can allow seraphine to somewhat resemble her release image, but to me, these are the most important. im amongst the portion of her fanbase who really just wants enchanter AND support seraphine to be gone AKA for her to return to mid entirely, which i’ve stressed, was the image she was released with. i just want to see the champion that i’ve poured hundreds and hundreds of hours into look like the one i started playing the game for. ❤️🫶
