I'm Banning Senna

GankLord·10/29/2019, 10:19:42 PM·48 votes·15,825 views

I was banning Pyke before but in some ways Senna is looking to be a lot worst in the not fun or fair to play against category. Idk what's going on with Riot and this sudden interest in Hybrid champion classes but it needs to stop. They are doing way too much with these champion's kits now. It's getting ridiculous. I know I'll catch downvotes because I haven't "seen the champion in action" but just on paper this champion's kit is ridiculous to add support to her name. I've been playing since S2 and I think this might be the last season for me.

Things change I get that but League for me has lost what made me feel good even when I lost. It's evolved into an entirely different beast. I hope one day Riot does like a legacy season thing like Blizzard did for WoW. I was happy to see another primarily black (not pacific islander (illaoi), middle eastern karma, native america/ or inuit (taliyah)) champion but these new releases are coming out crazy. I feel like Riot creates champions by saying "this would be cool" without also saying "would it be fair and or fun to play against". I think the game has enough champions that 2 per year would be good moving forward. I feel more focus needs to be put in balancing than champion creation. I know there's a specific team for champion creation but I think Riot needs to take a harder look at the state of the game before adding more chaos.

I main support. Didn't really like pyke all that much, hardly play him. But I get where you're coming from with this post.

I'm really skeptical about her ult, the middle beam is just like Lux's and gives you time to move, but the like 150-200 shield is a bit much since it takes up an entire lane and then some. Her passive scales with AD so I'm hoping the ult is an AP scale and the rest of her abilities will be AD but generally speaking most heals scale with AP so she looks like a hybrid champ...which is a mess. Her E on the other hand is an entirely different beast, untargetable allies for 5-6 seconds from the video. In the hands of pro players or someone who knows what their doing can make her E extremely toxic just like Akali's shroud. But the cons are you can still hit them with abilities which is a bait to 4 people grouping in her mist.

Can't really say much else about her, as I'm waiting for her to be released on PBE after maintenance. Definite ban for the first weeks until they get her scaling right tho.

Is there something specific you don't like about Senna?

If it's her Ult than I'm with you but if it's her E, that's just baiting her team into a wombo combo.

The problem is not hybrid champions by default. The problem is support-whatever champions.

Who wants to play Soraka when you can play Pyke, be a support and also get 10 kills and extra gold for everyone?

Who wants to play Nami if you can play Senna, have a ton of CC, invulnerability for allies, and high base damage?

Every conventional support looks like garbage compared to the latest "supports" with enough mechanics to make three different cahmpions.

People are overhyping her. Honestly starting to get annoying. People are looking for something to riot to. Play her and see what you think.

she looks pretty cool. i can play katarina into her and ruin her day, just looking at her kit :/ so yeah no reason for me to ban her probably any other aoe/untargeted casters can be played into her too :/ global ult will probably be nerfed but it looks fun as it exists right now. the stealth is whatever really, i find this part interesting, unique, but not something "omg it's so brok3nz."

currently wondering what she scales on, and wondering what her heal ratio's are. expecting mixed ratio's but rito gave us riven so anything is possible.

Whens the last champ Riot released that didn't go through a lengthy perma ban phase?

She will not be an issue.

Waste of a ban

Just want to point out CertainlyT did not design this champion nor did he design Pyke so can we finally say that its the champion design philosophy and not individual designers
