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.

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.
