Great, another interesting new champion that's gonna be deleted due to pro play

Tak wyglądają umiejętności Senny. Oficjalne filmy z ich prezentacją! OP? - Boop.pl

Senna's abilities were revealed on this Polish page. You can translate it to English with the browser option, but I just wanted to come here to say I'm disappointed that Riot refuses to stop making kits that are clearly way too over the top for pro play. This year brought us Sylas, Yuumi, Qiyana (admittedly to a lesser extent), and now this.

A global ult that deals both damage and shields allies? Her E is an aoe camouflage that also makes people completely untargettable when they exit the field until they do a first strike? An AOE long range root that forces organized teams to split up? These are all mechanics that will lead to one of the coolest champions of all time getting Kalista'd.

Don't get me wrong, these abilities are all cool and I'll enjoy playing this champion while she lasts, but come on dude. You can't just have an ultimate stealing champion, you have to have a dude with 3 dashes, a shield, multiple AOE wave clears, and CC out the ass. You can't just have a demonic diver/ juggernaut hybrid in Aatrox, but you have to give him 3 aoe knockups, a slow that pulls, a moving revive (which got deleted lul), and two dashes (now one lul). It's so obvious that new champions are just gonna be gods in pro play, with kits so broken no normal player will use them after they get slapped every patch for months.

Come on. Don't make Senna's ult global, make it like a Lux ult. If you're doing team camouflage, remove the dumbass untargettability that means Senna's team will always get the first strike. These two mechanics are gonna make her simply too good in pro play, the rest of her kit is (probably) more safe with them removed.

I was excited for this champion. Still am, I guess. It's just hard fully investing yourself in new characters when over the last two or three years the majority of new champions and reworks are taken away from regular players for the benefit of pro play.

Well that E is busted as fuck, If i counted right lucian stays "ghoaled" for five seconds after exiting and that thing also makes you "unattackable" according to the translation.

Akali shroud flashbacks anyone?

Everyone is talking about the stealth, which is a problem, but I'm over here like "her cannon can strengthen its range, attack damage and critical strike chance by collecting ghouls..." as in infinitely and permanently? You want to talk about overloaded lmao.

they are like, what broken mechanic will we add to the new champion to make it broken and abused in pro play until we nerf them

the era of creative champions with good design like jhin is long gone

Its actually so cancerous how Insanely overloaded and broken just in terms of their kits new champs are lately. I really hate the "flashy crazy mechanics 'outplay' " direction riot seems to be moving lately, its like they've completely thrown the concept of "power budget" for a kit right out the window and are looking for new and creative ways to make new champs disgustingly broken.

None of the s8-9 champs are interesting.

The words you're looking for is overloaded and broken

That ult is for sure going to get a range or field reduction. There is no way it can be allowed to be map wide as well as that large.

I get that they are untargetable after leaving the mist but the worst part to me is they are displayed as ghouls to the enemy. If you hit all 5 team members even after exiting you don't know who is who. You can still CC them and hit them with spells, so, fine. But, when 5 people are running at you with all the same model and you don't know whats what or where it completely negates target selection. Either keep the masking effect and lose the untargetable or drop the masking effect and keep the untargetable.

Untargetable duration needs a reduction regardless

Honestly Sennas E is probably the first ability in the entire game where I think "well that is just waaay too op to be left in" and I'm someone who thought that Riot could balance Akalis turret stealth.

Making the wraiths untargetable disables a lot of options for the enemies, as most champions rely on abilities that require a clear target. Heck the camouflaging effect on its own is already pretty powerful, so I really don't understand why they had to stack untargetability on top of that.

I think the rest of her kit would be fine if not for her E, that's insanely powerful. A global laser that deals ok damage is fine, even if it gives a shield but her E is monstrously strong and i know for a fact it's going to make her impossible to balance. Making EVERYONE ON HER TEAM untargetable is insane, fun fact Lux was supposed to have an ability that gave everyone on her team Camo, that was taken out because not every champion in the game is balanced around being able to be camouflaged.

Qiyanna is permabanned in Worlds IDK why you think she is less of a problem than sylas/yuumi

Senna: UNTARGETABILITY FOR EVERYONE!

Turns towards enemy team

Senna: Oh, except for you.

Get her and abuse the OP glory while riot rakes in cash. She'll get nerfed eventually, but it won't happen for a while to prevent lack of sales.

Jaspers10/29/2019, 7:22:28 PM4 votes

As long as the damage is correct, scales on AP for her healing and shielding and ult, while her Q is AD only it will be fine. Also, E will be broken in pro play and be removed soon.

Her ult needs to deal next to nothing in damage. No one is dodging that. It better also scale appallingly.

Talk about overloaded kits. Its like every ability has 3 smaller ones in it.

Inkling Commando10/29/2019, 10:44:46 PM4 votes

i feel like this is a sequal to the yuumi shit storm. players think a champ is broken based off of kit alone and will continuously ban that champ without giving players a chance to actually play them to see if they really are broken or not.
