A good start, but they still have a pretty unapologetic attitude towards the fanservice in the champion design.
I've heard Sejuani is one of the least played champions though, so it's nice that they're trying to fix her.
[quote]Riot explain their changes in a recent blog post, saying “Sejuani's lightly-armored, skin-flaunting, fleshy apparel didn't mesh with the idea of a dominating, ice warrior.”[/quote]
and the majority of the other female champions do
not to mention half of the male champions
ok riot

Well, actually, yeah. I mean if you're a mage the protection offered by most of your body being covered in cloth is not really any different than all of your body being covered in cloth. Their point is basically that if you lived in a frozen tundra you'd be awfully chilly in her clothes, not like realism really matters but their reasoning is still sound. Plus AFAIK the only female tank in LoL is [url=http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc403/spooonishere/Leona.jpg]Leona[/url] and she's pretty appropriately covered.

I won't really nitpick as I personally don't care about how serious or authentic the designs are, I just find it funny from Riot to say that
Almost all of their female champions are dressed like that or to that degree, I don't see why they are doing this to Sejuani?
I mean just look at this:

i thought we all already knew that LoL champions were designed with 12 year olds in mind??

Though Riot is going in a different direction now. The recent female champs have been pretty clothes and desexualized.

The person who designed her said one of his bigger regrets was making her clothed the way she was, but was probably like that because of the lore.
[quote]Sejuani grew up surrounded by this misery, and it fueled her desire to fulfill her destiny. She pushed herself to extremes, walking out into blizzards without food or furs and training while frigid winds raked her flesh.[/quote]
While they were looking to tweak her they more then likely figured "Why not fix her visually as well?"
