They consistently delete every thread that suggests a support might be too strong, and only threads on supports.

This thread makes a statement that Senna should not be able to ignore trading patterns. It explains why Senna is able to ignore trading patterns. It poses the question of whether her self-healing is necessary, for further discussion.

This is the second time they've deleted one of my threads on Senna. This is the second time I've submitted a player support ticket to bring attention to this behavior.

What is going on here?

Actually, we have been deleting threads that are not appropriate for Gameplay. Your most recent removal amounted to nothing more than an extended "Heal on Senna too strong, must nerf" complaint thread.

Pretty much every champion has a honeymoon period on release, mostly because opponents need to learn the play pattern. Between that and the "freshness factor" it's not surprising she has a high pick and ban rate. You can see, however, the day by day progression towards the League average.

If you're going to make the case Senna is too strong, you should either put more effort into the post or you should choose instead to post on GD or RANT.

any post from YENN is just a rant crying about something being broken and nothing that contributes to logic or discussion of topic.

Are they giving the same reason? Can you show the reason(s) given in the removal notification?

'Rant,' which is the same reason they use to close every thread on supports. i.e. the 'it should be possible to knock Yuumi off of champions' thread

https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/community-moderation/Al9RzQ2b-why-was-this-thread-on-senna-deleted It's incredibly clear that they're pushing an agenda from their responses in this thread. They should not be allowed to moderate any threads pertaining to supports, period.

Except, of course, that I posted a thread about when and how Yummi should be off the host and it went just fine.

How many of them are just "Delete senna: title"?

I want to address this separately, because the argumentation is driving me crazy. Senna does not ignore trading patterns. It would be far more accurate to say that the presence of healing in her kit changes the nature of the trades. The same is true of every champion with access to a healing power... or a shield... or a dash... or invisibility... or a remote minion unit. That list continues on for a long while.

It poses the question of whether her self-healing is necessary, for further discussion.

Strictly speaking, no power is necessary on any champion. It would be similarly more accurate to ask if the mechanics and scope of her heal interact with the rest of her kit in a way that is unhealthy. I don't think it does, as Senna's kit is basically what you would get if you handed Lux's daughter a gun, but it would at least be a discussion we could have.
