Alistar vs Senna Matchup Summary

The Alistar vs Senna matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 76 recent matches analyzed, Senna wins with a 61.8% win rate compared to Alistar's 38.2%, giving Senna a 23.7 percentage point advantage. Senna dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights.

Senna has a strong advantage in this matchup. Alistar players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Senna overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
