The first time I used Sedna I bought Yeti's (I was new to the game)...  I still have not recovered from that epic fail

Yetis are useful at distracting and taking down Rook tower farms if no one else on your team is using a minion build. Yeti's high HP makes them good tower-distracters, but Sedna has too many other badass skills. The opportunity cost of using yetis is extremely high, in general.

Yetis are garbage.

If you put all your points into Yetis, they upgrade to Abominable Snowmen and eat everything.

Hmm, well what do you guys think could be implemented to actually make them useful? Nothing really comes to mind for me atm except for the generic hit harder, make tougher, etc.

yes yetis are pathetic

if sedna wasn't that powerful already without useful minions, i'd say she should be the first DG to get buffed

I wonder if they're going to make Yeti's more useful in the future...

No they are not. You gonna need them for 1v1 dual battle.

And in late game with plenty of mana, minion-related stacking items and passive abilities, they are not that bad.

But, again general idols are much better than yeties; you need get them first, then get yeties in very last order.

I think the real issue isn't that Yeti's "suck", it's that everything else sedna has is better.. The minions themselves are tanky, decent damage, and sedna's abiltiies make them better. but it means losing: Pounce. Heal. Silence. MAgPres. Healing Wind. Inner Grace. Sedna has waaaay too much stuff to keep up on to even think about going minions, IMO, unlike QoT who seems to have much less issue using them, or, Erebus and Oak who pretty much get them free as a matter of course.

Sedna Yeti's actually arent bad if you do it with a full minion build and use it properly.

However its pretty stupid to get them because basically every other skill you can put points in is twice as good as Yeti's.
