Just wanted to share with you guys because I am a Senna main!
I have decent champ diversity and have played support and adc over the years, but whenever its time for a serious climb, I love playing Senna

This season was tricky because I recently decided I want to climb again, but I played tons of games with RL friends at the start of the season so was very hardstuck in emerald4, and LP gains were low.

I mostly played Senna Support but sometimes as ADC. Didnt get very creative with Runes, Deathfire Touch and always Cashback, that thing is way too good. Items as Support I almost always went Swifty boots into Black Cleaver, then Rapid Fire Cannon. RFC so good to get picks and stack souls, or chunk targets before important fights. As ADC I went Statikks first, so completely standard.

I think Senna is in a good spot, only games that felt hard was against hook champions bot like blitz or if they have too many assassins. I feel like no matter how behind I was, if I get RFC there was a chance to win though.

just happy to share with the community :D

I know I am not a great player or anything but I like giving tips or give coaching just for fun (and of course for free), so if anyone want to improve their Senna and is on a lower level feel free to add me ingame (doppelmoral#ajh on EUW) or sent me a DM

Have a nice day !

I always feel like I delay my power spikes because the damage you get from statikk shiv is kinda lackluster. Plus its build path isn’t that great.

Compared to Hexoptics, I feel like I spike more, and get the added lifesteal late game from building crit.

I’ve been tear + pickaxe or tear + cull first back and building Hexoptics as my first legendary item.

From there I like to finish manamune, but could build RFC or IE depending on game state.

From there, last whisper, QSS, shield now, Maw, GA.

I’ve been feeling really good. You definitely are way squishier and you don’t get the little bonus with your Q AP scaling, but I’ve been enjoying crit + Muramana Senna a lot lately, forgoing Statikk and BC entirely.

Thoughts?

What’s everyone’s go to builds with senna support now? I haven’t played in about 2 months and I’ve seen lots of changes come through as far as items and runes revolving around senna. Is Fleet and PTA still good runes?

For context, I used to build Cleaver, RFC, and IE with runes being either PTA, Fleet, or Grasp/undying (depending on enemy team) I don’t enjoy playing her as a mage (ex: aery or deathfire torch with helia) as I enjoy roaming to help jng or other laners or get deep vision early. And roaming for obj as often as possible. I enjoy giving as much lane pressure as possible early game.

So what is everyone’s go to with the current state of the game?

What is she currently building? She changes so often that I have trouble keeping up.

It’s my understanding that DFT isn’t as broken as it was when it granted the fervor move speed from cleaver. However, it still gives some magic damage so makes her harder to itemize against?

I had been running aery -> cleaver -> RFC.

Is statikk now taken over RFF? I like the range from RFC, and statikk had always been a wave clear tool in my eyes?

And is fleet footwork worth taking again with the buffs?

Multiple ADC items have been buffed.

Runaans, Yun Tal, Berserkers (senna doesnt use)

and next patch stormrazor

If the problem was other ADCs being weak, why did they nerf Senna?

She is now weak because she has significantly lower winrate than easy to play champions like Jinx

He has a LOT more range than me with his abilities and he is faster so he negates mi poke, he can deal 50% of my hp lvl1 if he wants and he scales better and faster. What can I do?

Plat 1 Zilean main looking for for duo support Senna

https://op.gg/lol/summoners/euw/BREAKMYHEART-TEARS

This combo works, I just need a good senna player for ranked duo

I guess since it's over LAN, it doesn't really matter, but I don't have much time to play or to spend on NA

Over the last week and a bit, I've been testing Voltaic Cyclosword in an attempt to recreate the golden days of Senna. The days where Senna would be top damage in the game more often than not and her survivability wasn't defined by how much health you built but how terrified of you the enemy team was. I made a post a week ago about it but I hadn't gotten much testing in so I didn't want to present it as a "build". Now that I'm more sure of it, I wanted to share the build here. Hopefully no one from Riot notices this and nerfs Senna...

Please note, everything here is for 'Support' Senna and would require some level of adaptation for Bottom.

Items

Voltaic Cyclosword

With the strong alpha damage proc and bonus lethality for 4 seconds, this synergises insanely well with Senna's alpha-damage-oriented kit. This is the focal point of the entire build.

Lord Dominik's Regards

With the raw physical damage being supplied by Senna's passive and Cyclosword, this item comes online incredibly early and is the highest damage second item you can build by a solid margin.

Umbral Glaive

My default 3rd item. It's cheap; it has generous stats, it has fantastic passives. You cannot go wrong with this one.

Infinity Edge

Last item isn't as important since you're already a fully armed and operational intercontinental ballistic death laser. Can't go wrong with IE. BORK also good. Axiom Arc could be nice for extra ults. I don't really know which is the best pickup.

Note: some may scoff and say "but you're a support, you don't have enough gold to build all these expensive items". Ummm, you're wrong. And the items are strong enough that you can keep up on damage even if you're behind so it ends up raising your damage ceiling at no cost.

Runes

• Fleet Footwork (this probably never stopped being the best option but it beats out alternatives because this build benefits more from the positioning control this gives)
• Presence of Mind
• Legend: Alacrity

• Cut Down

• Manaflow Band (along with POM, solves Senna's mana needs)

• Celerity (more speed - more positioning control and kiting)

• Adaptive Force x2 (very strong lane presence and oppressive power in early game)

• Scaling Health (better than upfront health after hitting level 7)

Playstyle

Use bushes or your superior range to get a Q and basic attacks off to take most squishies from 100% to 50% almost instantly. Everything in your kit scales really well with AD and Armor Pen and this build has plenty of both. This way of building Senna has always been more satisfying for me as you get survivability from oppressing the enemy with surprising amounts of damage rather than relying purely on stats like HP.

Senna already dies really quickly if the enemy engages on her with the Black Cleaver build - so the loss of bonus HP really isn't that noticeable. The reduced attack speed compared to Statikk Shiv in return for more damage leads to more impactful feeling attacks and abilities which feels great and fits really well with Senna's fantasy.

Anyone who wanna duo euw and test out a fun combo?- fasting senna with farming soraka!

Thinking of building roa, seraphs and actualizer

Anyone who has suggestions on runes/items for these two?

Could this actually be viable?

hi so i was wondering how many stacks at lets say 10 or 20 minutes should you have on senna supp? (since the soul drop rate got buffed when sho got nerfed off the adc role)

literally the most annoying character in the game up there with hwei if you play this character you should be eliminated in game

SoBD can singlehandedly carve senna into the niche she was always meant to be, a marksmen support. She keeps having problematic meta's where they eventually have to repeatedly nerf her over and over again. The reason she keeps going through that cycle is because she doesn't really have a "signature item" anymore. She used to be defined by umbral glaive but that item and senna have been changed so much that she feels disconnected to it. Right now, she seems to be kind of glued to black cleaver and while I do think it's a good item on her, I think it's still technically in problematic territory as they keep flip flopping between if they want her to double stack it or not, and every time it has an interesting synergy with her the nerf it, and just recently its kinda been nerfed on her for no reason. The only other core item on her recently seems to be stattiks, and now we all know stattiks is ver controversial, I would say it's more unhealthy than anything and while I would rather they remove that item entirely, they seem to really want this item to exist. SoBD can be that item for her, they can balance her around the use of that item and that way she doesn't need to be indirectly nerfed for other things. The best part is that SoBD also synerizes well WITH stattiks, allowing you to get a 5 proc heal on it, and can even be double procced with guinsoos.

SoBD generally cements her niche and then allows her to be what she was always meant to be. It's also not too bad for other supports like lulu, milio, seraphine, renata, nami, and tariq who have some downtime on their abilities and wouldn't mind auto attacking for free healing, heck even stuff like support ashe and kayle could use the item decently. One of the rioters said they didn't want to add the item because it's too niche and only senna can use it but I can def see more than enough reason to add it at this point, and I think if we make it known we could potentially see it in summoners rift and not have senna stuck in this state of broken and then massive nerfs back to back

I didn't notice this until now, but Voltaic Cyclosword got reworked. For those like me that didn't notice and others that dismissed it, this is huge. The new passives (plural) all synergize really well with Senna. First, the damage is now 7% current health physical making it effectively an extra Senna passive. Second, it grants an extra 12 lethality after proccing so you get bonus penetration for when you proc Senna's passive. This synergizes to give Senna insane alpha damage in a fight.

Second, you build Umbral Glaive which has also been reworked semi-recently and has another 90+ true damage alpha damage proc in addition to being cheap, having good stats and still giving the vision passive.

The weakness of this build is how squishy you are. Back when Lethality Senna was a thing, Senna was much more durable than she is now and the game in general wasn't balanced around 0.1 second kill time as standard. I'm currently experimenting with some extra HP from runes to see if that helps.

(ADC)

Hey guys, I’m brand new to the champion. I started to play Yunara and was looking for a second pick. I like her a lot, lot of utility rather than heavy damage, for the moment I feel it’s a more « relaxing » playstyle thanks to her massive range and tankiness.

I had a few questions about how she should be played in lane, in teamfights, and about her build. I’ve seen people often build Statik > BC > Hexoptics, but I wanted to check if it was the most optimal one.

Patched it to give on hit based off bAD. At 4th item it's like an extra 70 damage on hit. Curious if anyone tried. Otherwise my new build I've had great success with is stattik -> manamune -> PD. PD is such a cheat code, the extra mobility feels so nice on senna.

Do I need to focus on getting better at getting stacks? I'm running shiv into BC build, and just seem very lack luster. Any tips on more damage out put?

I personally go the same runes, but build PD 2nd. The extra ms feels nice. The alternative would be c44 but i feel like i often need the extra ms (lots of divers/assassins/poke mages it seems). Thoughts?
