This is Senna's own plan; across 23,862 pooled games the lane is leaning Senna.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even as his hook is dodgeable behind minions and you out-auto him otherwise. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is a skill trade around his Q hook cooldown. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 stays even as you punish whiffed hooks and he threatens landed ones. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are even as neither of you can force a clean kill yet. |
| Level 6 | Nautilus | Nautilus wins level 6 because R guarantees an unstoppable lockup chain you can't outrange. |
| First item | Nautilus | Nautilus keeps first item as hook range plus tank stats convert any Q into a kill. |
| Two+ items | Nautilus | Nautilus wins 2+ items because his homing R and tankiness beat your poke, forcing you to only peel. |
Levels 1-4 are a skill matchup decided by his Q: stand behind minions so his Dredge Line catches a creep, and when it whiffs, E-auto and Q-poke him during the cooldown to stay even. His hook punishes the walk to a soul, so collect only when the chain is on cooldown. Heal your carry through the chip, hold your root for the beat after his hook has missed, and let the range you accumulate keep you further from his approach every wave.
