I think I know why people are scared of Senna and crying nerfs, and it's in her passive

I just discovered something toying around which may be a bug, or may be a reflection of how Senna's Stacks works:

I was playing around with Lethality items on Senna.

The new Sanguine Blade, Youmuu's, and Duskblade.

What's interesting:

item 3158 item 3181 item 3142 item 3094 item 3031 item 3071 = 478 AD

I was wondering how this is possible. RFC is not an AD item, and the others are not THAT high of AD. I did have Transcendence.

However..... just for giggles, because I saw that "set bonus" for Weapons of Draktharr, I sold item 3158 , and bought item 3147

#Result? I suddenly had 587 AD!

Ionian Boots had CDR built in, so the Transcendence bonus should be the same. However..... I gained 109 AD

I learned later that it wasn't the Lethality, as much as a problem with her passive:


My Theory? Her AD is double buffing into her Base AD, buffing once by the base 1 AD, but again in calculations of the flat damage.. Kind of like how Jhin used to have circular Crit math.

This needs hotfixed BAD.

Here's some images of level 1 Senna with these items, and on the right, her AD (more or less because it fluctuates for some reason every time she grabs a ghoul)

(If you take away the RFC and put in an Essence Reaver, the AD spikes to 677!)

Something is amplifying AD in her base Kit.

#And the difference is LARGE. The difference between the same items on 0 to 120 Stacks is about 400 Crit damage per hit! (With 6 items and 0 stacks, 620 crits. 120 Stacks = 1083 crits)

Yeah you are right that does not quite add up.

She is not supposed to gain any AD from leveling and only through stacks getting 1 per stack.

She is getting a decent chunk more here. But that is not an issue with her base design, it is a bug that needs fixed so she plays correctly.
