Following the launch of League of Legends Patch 14.16 last week, the game is seeing a new support on the rise, and it’s one that received substantial changes in the latest update.
That support is none other than Senna, who’s currently sitting on a jaw-dropping 52.64 percent win rate in all ranks, according to U.GG. This puts her in first place for supports, judging solely by win rate. She’s also being picked very often in League, with a 15 percent pick rate, which translates to over 940,000 games at the time of writing.
Given her massive changes in Patch 14.16, these spikes are hardly surprising. Officially, her update was labeled an “adjustment”, not as a buff. And while her base stats and passive were nerfed, her other abilities were strengthened.
Most importantly, Senna’s healing from Piercing Darkness (Q) now has a higher AD and AP converter, and the same goes for the slow from that same ability. Last Embrace’s (W) Root Duration and Dawning Shadow’s (R) shield converters were also improved by the update.
These stats probably won’t last too much longer, though, given Patch 14.17 is coming soon. Riot Games acknowledged Senna’s prowess in the bottom lane and quickly took action, foreshadowing her nerfs in the next patch—more specifically, weakening her AP converters.
That update is still a week away, and is scheduled to release next Wednesday, Aug. 28. Therefore, you still have time to climb the ranked ladder with Senna if you enjoy playing her.
