People need to learn Senna FAST

Small rant but they are actually unexpected good items on her.

It's amazing how I get trashed on because I built UTILITY instead of full lethality when playing her as SUPPORT

: My fucking wards

Hey I reduce my Q CD by 3 secs instead of 1 sec with my AA and I also get lifesteal later !

Because you know, gutting heals is nice against certain comps

The unexpected OP item, Heals a good 400 HP chunk per Q !

I get caught less and escape a bit more easily

But nah, I get trashed on for going utility because we already have for physical damage -_- People need to learn her fast. it's getting annoying. The only thing that doesn't scale with BOTH AD/AP is her W and her AA falls really hard after laning phase, gotta get power and utility somewhere else.

Good thing the game ended before I got my

Please tell me I'm not crazy [sg-janna]

Good thing everyone is so braindead they run Dark Harvest, Fleet and Electrocute over other better keystones.

Yeah, most people fail to realize she's not pyke and can't afford AD itemization as support. AS/crit is fine because they're basically on a support budget. They're absurdly cheap for offensive itemization at 2600g each.

As far as Mortal reminder goes, you're better off just grabbing Executioner's Calling and sitting on it if you want to reduce healing. Only upgrade if you need the armor pen, but IMO there's probably higher priority stuff on a utility champ with free scaling.

People also fail to realize her AD scaling is pretty poor overall. Building it isn't cost efficient since you get free AD. Same reason high MMR veigar players build mostly utility, as opposed to as much AP as they can. Only difference is veigar's ratios are extremely high so he needs the additional AP even less and AD costs significantly more than AP; it about evens out between the two as far as effectiveness and budget.

Once item 2065 gets its stats reworked, it'll be another great item on senna with her E. Will also allow her team to follow up on her W more reliably. Relatively low priority item though. "Win more" basically, but then again, so is Runaan's and a full mortal reminder on support.

You're not crazy even if it becomes off meta doesn't mean it isn't any good or you can't have success playing that style. Take AP Shaco(despite it's recent popularity) for example he was a fringe pick that was so far off meta he fell of the meta graph but people like pink ward could use him with amazing success and consistency.

They need to remove the q cooldown interaction with Runaan's.

It got removed from Kai'Sa so no reason Senna should keep it.

You're not alone in this. The one game (or was it two, I can't really remember) I got her in, I built somewhat the same as you. UTILITY. Same items as you, except I built Ardent over Athene's. (It just felt right, at the time.) I've never liked playing damage oriented supports. Hence, my inability to perform well on Pyke, despite everyone saying he's easy to pick up. I prefer tank supports and utility enchanters. And that's how I build Senna.

In short, I play Senna as an Enchanter who just happens to have Marksman capabilities, rather than a Marksman who just happens to have Enchanter capabilities.

She's going to get gutted so hard when the frenzy dies down.

give this kid a item 3089 we got a genius here.

And when u have item 3085 u can proc ur passive on multiple enemy champions at once. Thats strong in teamfights. When there are no minions/monster, but only enemy champions and u have that item, it's easy to hit few targets at one time with ur passive

Also, Klepto Senna on top is so cancer when u play against melee champions. So unfun to play melee top against her. I know that cuz I tried it and farmed A LOT of free gold, poked the shit out of enemies and have seen them tilting. Good thing is that ur Q applies oh hit effects, so after u use Q, one stack of Klepto is already used, so u need just to auto attack once after this (which is really easy with her range).

item 3071 would also be a good combo w/ runaan's, reduce that armor for your team!

You're not crazy. Just look at the boards; a huge dumpster fire about Senna being broken when she actually needs to be buffed. Not enough items fit a hybrid support which makes her fall off hard after laning phase.

It's honorable that you're actually trying to find ways to make her work as a support instead of being the annoying player who builds ADC/Lethality items on her. GG! [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

i dont get this post. maybe its my bad english but do you complain about people buying trash on senna or what

Champion's snare range is really really long and so far feels like it has little to no counter play

You are Correct. So many players in this community can't think for themselves, they are terrible at the game and can't come up with any new ideas on their own. It's why it took people so long to actually realize how good Yuumi was. I would like to add I think Glacial Augment is the best Rune on Senna, her Q procs it even if you don't target someone with it. Making for really easy follow ups.

GodlyBane11/15/2019, 8:41:51 PM1 votes

Rush trinity on her. Gives HP, Mana, buffs movement passive, ATK speed, damage, movement speed, sheen, CDR, it is literally everything senna wants. If not trinity and you need defensive stats, you can build Cleaver > Gauntlet, its what i like to refer to as a "more defensive" trinity. But yeah, rush trinity no joke, its fucking broken on her.

Athene and Censer are in her recommended items. Swiftness are her standard boots. Having wards as a support is obvious, but no need to upgrade to the last tiers, keep it tiers 2. That's for the good.

Now on the other side... Mortal Reminder, if your team need it, it's still probably not your job to build it. Your ADC can do it, or your Mid can build Morello.

And Runaan (or Rapidfire Canon) is tempting for the passive, but given how AS is nerfed on her, I'm not sure it's a great idea. You're basically throwing away 700 gold worth of stats, compared to another ADC with a normal AS scaling. Maybe the passive is just THAT good for her and it's still worth it, but that's a lot of gold to throw away.

Anything is good with Senna because she is so OP it doesn't matter. Champ is literally 80% presence in master+ tier with 55% WR. She is literally S3 Kass levels of broken right now

Been building her utility for the past few games and been doing really good with it even though never knew hurricanes took off 3 secs.
