Poppy vs Senna Matchup Summary

The Poppy vs Senna matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 44 recent matches analyzed, Senna wins with a 61.4% win rate compared to Poppy's 38.6%, giving Senna a 22.7 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Poppy controls the early laning stage, but Senna outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Poppy needs to press advantages before Senna reaches their power spikes, while Senna should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Poppy leads by 434 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Senna has a strong advantage in this matchup. Poppy 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.

Damage
459Poppy
556Senna

Sustain
1,251Poppy
816Senna

The early game (first 15 minutes) is a toss-up between Poppy and Senna, with Poppy holding a razor-thin 50.0% win rate edge (+0.0%). Individual skill and jungle proximity will matter more than champion advantage in the early laning phase.

Senna is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 70.8% win rate — 41.7 points above Poppy. Extended games heavily favor Senna, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

The power dynamics shift as the game progresses — Poppy has the edge early, but Senna gradually takes over. However, the margins are slim enough that either champion can win at any stage with the right plays. Focus on taking advantages when you have them rather than waiting for a specific game phase.
