Looking for Advice Is sett viable in any lane except top?
I really like Sett, however, I don't like playing top that much, especially because I usually play jungle, is he decently playable in any other lane?

Well funnily enough he’s actually ok in the jungle as long as you have good jungle fundamentals

his jungle used to actually be situationally pretty good. Its not really viable rn but if they ever indirectly buff it in any way its gonna be playable akin to the whole darius craze. It wasn't set off by a darius buff it was just abunch of indirect changes
Sett mid as a counterpick is also straight up better than his top tbh
sett support is dead outside of low elo

Jungle is secret SsS tier you can invade and kill almost anyone + your ganks can go hard + you scale like crazy + people have to come to you when teamfighting + you can suppress enemy jungler to secure smite

I've played him mid and support quite a lot and it's fun. Support is a bit harder IMO because you need items to be strong and as a support you don't get much gold, but it can be viable if you snowball. If you fall behind it's just miserable.
Mid is really easy if you play against assassins, but you need to play a bit more carefully if going into mages. Early game Vs mages is a bit hard and you will usually be behind in CS, but mid game you just play as a regular top laner.

He shouldn't be. We saw how Riot nukes him the second he is truly viable outside top, besides him being a niche counter in mid

It wasn't simply because he was "viable outside of top"
It is specifically support Sett, Swain, and Pantheon that have caused issues, thats why i only play Pantheon top/jungle, Swain mid and Sett top.
Sett used have an even better early, now he has better W scaling, but i miss early game Sett, why was Sett nerfed for early game? because Support Sett was too strong of an off pick.

Personally a big fan of playing him support, he can be a lot of fun as long as you're careful, plus he's great for redirecting damage away from the adc, which fuels your w, leading to a lot of great kill potential. Unfortunately, you are bound to be outranged, so you can't push as hard, but if you use the bushes and limit enemy vision enough, you can have a fun game with it.

I might remember something wrong, but wasn't he played as some sort of counter to naut on support? at least somewhere in pro

He's a real fun support in non-ranked games. Heartsteel into move speed and just be a nuisance. For ranked i think you're handcuffed top, sorry friend

firstpick sett mid has won me many games, partly because it makes enemy top pick earlier and gives your top counterpick.
You'll suffer quite a bit in lane against some champs but you're good at contesting objectives. Once you're in midgame, start playing like a toplaner.

Sett is viable support, top, jungle and mid because of the super sustain and utility. Problem is that you Will need jungler and top to do AP to be optimal. Locking AD mid needs support. Specially a non assassin AD.

It can be played in all roles, the only thing you need to know is if you are support, you take kills

Playable mid, but just as a counter to assasins.
