How to beat Senna as Braum: the early game

This is a brutal early lane: Senna's Q poke-heal and passive auto-attacks out-range everything you do, and with no gap-closer you simply can't trade until you reach her, so play safe, block her Q with E, and give up CS rather than HP. She out-ranges everything you do and heals through the chip, so hold the shield and let your ADC farm behind you. Shove the wave to deny souls rather than trading. Mark her on the melee walk-up she has to make, and let your carry finish the stack before the heal lands.
