This is Blitzcrank's own plan; across 12,832 pooled games the lane is leaning Senna.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1BlitzcrankBlitzcrank: at level 1 Senna's slow, short-ranged poke forces her into grab range while she has no way to dodge the hook.
Level 2BlitzcrankBlitzcrank: level 2 Overdrive lets Blitz close on the immobile Senna and confirm the pull.
Level 3BlitzcrankBlitzcrank: level 3 the W-E Power Fist combo locks down a Senna who has no dash to break the chain CC.
Levels 4-5BlitzcrankBlitzcrank: pre-6 her greed for soul last-hits over-extends her into repeatable grabs that snowball the lane.
Level 6BlitzcrankBlitzcrank: at 6 Static Field silences and bursts a hooked Senna before she can fire Dawning Shadow.
First itemBlitzcrankBlitzcrank: mid-game her grab zone keeps the slowest support in the game pinned back and punished.
Two+ itemsBlitzcrankBlitzcrank: at full build Senna is still totally immobile, so one hook isolates and deletes her and she can't punish a missed Q enough to flip it.

How to beat Senna as Blitzcrank: the early game

Blitz dominates the level 1-2 window: Senna is one of the slowest, least mobile supports and her Q needs her to step forward, right into Rocket Grab range. She has no dash to dodge the hook and no self-shield, so any grab on Senna is a kill. Contest the ward war aggressively since she must overextend slightly to last-hit for souls, and that greed feeds your grab. She is slow, immobile and has to step forward for souls, which is exactly the moment to hook. Hold the brush she has to pass and keep the grab unspent until then. Overdrive covers the approach, and the fist stops the root she would otherwise land on your ADC.
