Senna is broken.

AP Malphite·Oct 31, 2019·5 votes·2,606 views

Senna in her current state is absolutely broken. Her self heal, which scales with both AP and AD (which scales infidelity!), combined with the fact excess crit counts as lifesteal makes her an absolute monster mid-late game. She can easily 1v5 against burst heavy teams. God forbid she gets a red buff, she can go from 10-100% hp in a Q or two. This, combined with the fact her lifesteal, range, and ad scale infinitely, along with her global ult, makes her an absolute powerhouse of a champion. She should not be able to self sustain. Get rid of her self heal, or at least make her self heal only when she targets an ally. And the self heal, if it dosent get outright removed, needs to be reduced.

Sorry, but you obviously haven't played her. It takes a TON of work to make her viable.

Go play her on the PBE. And get stomped by Ekko.

Probably a bad example given how strong ekko is right now, plus the fact that assassins counter marksmen, but you're right that she takes effort. Personally I just hope that in the inevitable changes they focus on her passive first since it's the biggest problem

The only problem with her passive is it's giving more AD than it's supposed to:

There's some sort of amping math happening, and when you absorb a soul, her AD spikes up for a half second.

This isn't happening anymore. She is broken. Fun to play against when supposed "ADCs" are handily losing to what is supposed to be a support. Put her in check with something like what Pyke has - no HP increases. Period.

It is still happening if you choose the right champions to play against her. Still happening just as much as if Nami or Soraka or Leona were the support.

The doom prophets and blind worshipers are probably all overstating her situation a bit. She needs nerfs, but likely not all the way to unplayable, and she may need some things buffed but her current state makes that almost impossible to say. As players get better with and against her the picture will hopefully get clearer.
