Senna Power Spikes (Patch 26.19)

Senna Support Laning Plan
Senna is a lane bully: trade early and often, push the advantage, and turn the gold lead into the first item spike. On average Senna Support is 318 gold ahead of the lane opponent at 15 minutes and ahead in 63% of games. A 1,000-gold lead at 15 turns into a 69% win rate; a 1,000-gold deficit leaves 24%. Senna averages 0.06 solo kills by 15 minutes.
Senna Mid and Late Game
What Senna does better or worse than other champions after laning, from this patch's ranked games — percentiles where 100 is the highest of every champion.
Play to these strengths
- Senna out-wards most champions (percentile 86): keep owning vision around the next objective.
- Senna heals a lot (percentile 79): extended fights and sieges favor Senna.
- Senna brings crowd control (percentile 75): start the fight or follow up on a teammate's engage.
Mistakes to avoid
- Senna mitigates little damage (6/100): one bad position ends the fight, so stay behind your frontline.
- Senna is not a damage carry (20/100): don't take fights expecting Senna to win them alone.
These expert Senna tips are generated by MetaBot's advanced analysis of thousands of Senna games. Learn the best strategies, ability combos, and gameplay tactics to master Senna and climb the ranked ladder. Follow these tips to maximize your Senna performance.
- Senna tends to have a lower vision score than other champions. Make sure you are working to place wards and clear enemy wards.
- Senna has a high rate of healing compared to other champions. They may be good at exchanging hit trades in lane or before teamfights since they can recover through self-healing.
- Senna has a greater attack range than most champions. Take advantage of this by poking with autos at max range whenever you get the chance, and back off to maintain that max range distance to maximize trades.
- Senna has more magic resistance than most champions, which makes them excellent in the early game against magic damage type enemies.
- Senna has more mana regen than most champions, making their playstyle optimal for aggressive trades in lane.
