Will Senna be overloaded, or overpowered upon release?

Just a civilized discussion, and pool about what the players expect to happen once she is truly out.

She will be broken as fuck, but people won't know how to play her so her winrate will be low. Riot will buff her the following patch and then she will be pick or ban for months until they decide to nerf her.

That's every new champion/rework.

Overloaded? Most probably no. At most it will be at Pyke's level, which is not overloaded at all. Of course there are people who think Draven is overloaded Overpowered? Most probably yes. Either she will be OP right after release, or Riot will overbuff her with a hotfix, like they did with Yuumi I personally want her to have 0 mobility. A girl with a Sion-sized gun should not be able to run fast or dash

I think it will be the same as the last few champs we've had. Unique ideas and mechanics, simple yet rewarding gameplay BUT there will be this certain thing that makes them OP or obnoxious to face and potentially pick ban in pro.

Sad really. I like the idea of Sylas for example, personality of the character aside, but feel his base kit had far too much in it, as the idea of his gameplay is to steal the right ult to compliment his base kit. At the moment his Base kit is enough to take most champs on without an ult.

Depends. Here's the catch: The Opponents don't know her minigame yet with the Ghouls she spawns, so like with Zyra, they often won't kill them, like the Seedlings.

So in some ways, they will consider her OP. However, that may just be them being poor opponents.

There's also the question of actual damage. Her per hit in the video at level 9 wasn't that great. It was mostly Lucian damage until she finished them off (20% Thresh/45% Kalista). Furthermore, we don't know what items they gave them for that test.

In general, her biggest and scariest factor is the fact her ult is a Lux-Like Beam attack that ALSO gives a potentially team-wide Shield. That alone can change any tight knit team fight.

And, her stealth to ally function could make bot lane really toxic when paired with any champion who can localize burst and chunk (Swain for example being able to stealth up to you and pull, Pre 6 Vayne)

Broken as fuck. Simply because she is an adc and a "support" so they have to give her strength with support gold so she will be overbuffed af as adc.
