Can people stop trying to take Senna into Solo lanes or ADC?

Seriously she is only good if she can stack reliably and quickly.

If she is CSing then the chance of wraiths from farm is only like 5.5%, it should be 0, vs 20% if she is not. And in bot lane she has two targets to farm off of. Everyone is super overestimating her damage output due to her stacking and getting items but honestly she doesn't have the real ability to push the damage early like most marksman or solo laners.

Also get CREATIVE with her runes and builds! Aery or Dark Harvest OVER AND OVER!

I saw Hail of Blades once, but I don't know WHY.

Try Glacial Augment and build Gunblade on her.

Try Guardian and Shield Bash combo on her. As her ult shield gets bigger so to does her Shield bash damage. Also Survivability and safety on top of bigger heals and shields. Guardian also PROTECTS your laner so you can both be dishing out the damage!

I rarely see anyone rush Ardent Censor on her. Like Come on stop focusing on DAMAGE and try out her Utility and play setup potential!

I mean her E can be used to disguise a Gank. Oh you thought that Wraith was the ADC? SURPRISE IT WAS MID OR JUNGLE!!

The designer said that she's can go ADC or support. She gets less mist from farming if she's last-hitting, but she should still get plenty from attacking and killing the two enemies in the bot lane.

Hail of Blades lets her take passive stacks from enemies extremely fast, chunking them with a short trade and resetting. The cooldown is the same as her passive, so whenever Hail of Blades is up, you can snag some mist from the enemy.

Press the Attack is also really good on her. Her Q counts as an auto, so you can aa-Q-aa to proc the vulnerability.

Yeah, Press might also be a good rune for Supporting as it makes your ADC hit harder. I saw her Q being treated as an Auto when it damaged Turrets in the game I FINALLY GOT TO PLAY HER IN! Jesus. I started trying last night right after she release on PBE and just NOW got a match with her. Sadly with a butt hurt Lucian who went AP and was insisting he was supp.

I also saw a Jungle Senna in that match. Lots of weirdness. Honestly her clear speed when I tried her in Training Tool was decent, not great by any means but not the worst. Also he sustain is pretty high. Take Fleet and she could probably have a healthy clear. But gotta start with the Talisman not the dagger. She doesn't shoot fast enough to really benefit from the life steal of the dagger. Also you aren't great at ganks yourself but can setup some REALLY awesome ones with top and mid with her E. But all of that requires cooridination with your team and that means not Viable in solo play.

People are playing her everywhere because it's the PBE. They're just trying to play her, regardless of the lane they pull.

Nah, I am legit seeing people SWEARING she is OP busted in Top and Mid Repeatedly. There are those that are doing as you are saying but there is a lot more who seem to think she is so busted she can carry games from solo lanes.

The only place I could see her maybe working outside of support is as a ranged bully in top lane, but how viable that will be when top lane melee buffs happen in the preseason is questionable.

The issue with making Senna a solo laner or ADC is she's immobile, has a slow and stationary AA animation, and her Q costs way too much mana to be using it to farm waves. Her healing is just too good right now not to focus on her enchanter aspects as well, so people have been having a lot of success with Aery.

Riot actually did a good job keeping her power focused in the support role.

Yeah. A lot of people were freaking out when her passive was summed up in the reveal, not thinking that Riot would prevent a lot of the worries with giving her a very slow auto animation and heavily reduced Crit damage. Honestly top lane bully is questionable even now cause the animation of her Q and Autos means she can't Orb walk honestly. Not against the likes of Darius or any champ with any form of CC to lock her down. Maybe if she used Glacial to slow them from catching her. At least before her range gets ridiculous. Honestly they prevented Kindred from having infinite range on their stacks so I am unsure why they did not do the same on her. Also her default Itemizations are so Bizarre.
