[AMA] Got Challenger as Senna - Open for Questions & Happy to Give Advice
Hit Challenger mostly playing Senna support (and ADC here and there) — sharing the mistakes I see new Senna players make and how to fix them.
No pitch, just stuff I wish someone had told me earlier. AMA in the comments.
Spacing & positioning — Focus on forcing trades as much as possible against the enemy support/ADC. Be oppressive, click well, watch for when they're approaching, check wave priority, contest the bush. Always review your first 3–4 minutes of laning: were your clicks good? Did you miss any trades? Did you click backwards too much?
Tunnel-visioning the full-AD build — If your team has enough DPS and the enemy is burst-dependent, you can go an enchanter build to neglect their combo — if they can't one-shot you, you win the fight. Same vs a tanky enemy with slower DPS: if you have enough hypercarries, go enchanter.
- BotRK + Lethal Tempo build vs Mundos/Cho'Gaths when you don't have an HP shredder that game.
- Warden's Mail rush vs Pyke/Draven — they'll tunnel-vision you thinking you're squishy and overcommit, while your ADC has a high chance to kill theirs (bait playstyle, knowing your limits).
People don't abuse their options enough — Tabis, Warden's Mail, double Ruby Crystal early vs heavy-engage bots, etc.
Not abusing the Q sustain advantage — That's why you can make psycho trades and often win botlane prio by trading almost 1v2, if your positioning is on point. Ask yourself: do I win quick trades over time? Because they probably don't have any heal abilities.
Lazy W usage — Put more intention into your Ws. Take your time, wait a second, then press it. It sounds obvious, but trust me, people spam this spell like crazy. Think about the enemy's spells and when to press it: after a certain dash, at a certain angle — picture what's coming and find the best moment.
Playing vs hard engage support — Two ways to play it. Either heavy push — maintain a bigger wave than them and poke — or (what I'd recommend) give the push, hope they perma-push by default, and just scale: wait for your jungler, grab some MS items/boots to dodge and space better early.
The hardcore ones are hook champs. Vs Braum etc. it's playable to push and contest, same with Rakan — but it all depends on the enemy's skill level.
Happy to go deeper on any of these in the comments :)
