How to beat Senna as Leona: the early game

You dominate levels 1-2: Senna is fragile with no mobility, so your instant E-Q all-in threatens a kill every time she walks up to last-hit or grab a soul. She is fragile with no mobility, so an instant chain from the brush is a genuine kill threat every time. Raise your resists as you cross her poke range. Shove the wave to deny souls, and let your ADC follow the stun rather than trying to trade at her range.
