Riot, when you did Kalista...

Why didn't you guys do Senna instead? First of all, I think Kalista came out okay overall even if I'm not a fan of undead in particular so this isn't meant to knock her. However, that said, it seems like if you wanted an ADC from the shadow isles wouldn't Senna make more sense as she's connected to both Lucian and Thresh? Maybe she could have escaped, maybe she was changed by the isles/the experience, or maybe a little of both happened.

I mean you've got a hook for a champ that ties into existing lore, why not do that?

Isn't Senna inside Thresh's lantern which she is now practically as good as dead?

Also "Riot, when you did Kalista..." sounds a little funny aye.

Those the shadow isles touch don't always come back alive. Sometimes they come back to haunt. Given that Kalista is dead, that seems one path to take if riot wants to do Senna, who they've hinted interest in making.

Kalista died from betrayal after/during massive problems caused by the Ruined King. Her soul was left free to take vengeance, which she apparently wanted enough to turn into a literal spirit that hunts people down.

Senna died from Thresh and then had her soul imprisoned in his lantern to be tortured for all eternity. Unless there's some magical way to break people free of his Lantern (unlikely, as even his death animation is him getting sucked into the lantern, not the souls being freed) she is stuck for eternity.

Sennas dead. Thresh collects souls. Lucian is in the League to avenge her.

He isnt in the League. Because him playing on the same team as Thresh would make perfect sense. Also League is not canon, so we dealt with that ridiculous lane parring.

Well, I believe Senna is still available to make. The Shadow Isles needed a person to explain bits of there History so Kalista came forth. Senna isn't out of the box entirely. But Thresh has her trapped in his lantern(and yes shes dead) There's is no way out of his lantern unless thresh says so

Because Senna was known to use a gun and a ghost with a gun sounds a bit awkward to me.(also her E wouldn't really work)

Kalista isn't just some undead adc,she is more or less an avatar of vengance(vengance for betrayal to be specific),that wouldn't have been fitting for Senna.

I'm waiting for the next Harrowing to see if Senna randomly appears as a brand new Assassin. I mean, I doubt they'll give a ghost any time of firearms, but if she was some kind of wraith or banshee, that could work.
