Dangerous champ as always. Can engage you pretty easily with ghost and his E. Keep your W always ready to stop his engage. You can poke him a bit early but after Stridebreaker you shouldn't try to fight at all. Worthy ban.
Fiora
She can really be a difficult champ to lane against. She can poke you if she hits the vitals. Try to keep as much distance as possible. Farm until you get Kraken Slayer and Rageblade then she is maybe killable. Try to hold your W as much as possible until she uses her parry. She can easily parry your W and even stun you afterward so be aware and dodge it.
Irelia
She is really strong in every stage of the game. You can only poke her early level 1-2. If she hits her stun and has 5 stacks she is basically unkillable. After level 6 she can engage even easier. She can also dodge your W really easy. Keep your distance and buy antiheal.
Rengar
Keep your distance from brushes. Most of the time you won't be able to autoattack him since he is hiding in the brushes and if you come to close he will just jump onto you. If you W him, he will have enough time to go back into a bush and jump right back onto you. Try to let him push and farm under tower since he won't have any brushes there.
Sett
Keep your distance, A LOT. He is one of the most annoying champs to play against. Just try to farm on this lane and not fight him at all. He can just run you down and CC you to death and you won't be able to do much. Buy antiheal early if he goes for BotRK early. Worthy Ban.
Camille
Can't really do much in early levels but can easily engage onto you. Keep away from walls and hold your W after she jumps on you to not miss your W. After Level 6 she can just ult you and you won't be able to escape.
Dr. Mundo
Should be an easy lane early if you can dodge his Q. If he hit's he can engage very easy and keep you slowed a lot. Keep W ready to stop his engage. After level 6 he will be a big threat. Buy antiheal very early.
Gragas
Early he might not be such a big threat but he can engage pretty easily especially if he get's Protobelt. He can poke you with his barrels and even throw you into the team with his ult.
Jax
Keep your distance. He has a pretty easy engage and can just jump onto you. If you see him activate his E just run so he can't jump onto you. You can punish him after he uses his E and really poke him to death.
Kled
Is pretty weak in the early stage of the game. Has a good engage through minons and can stun you if he hits his skillshot and keeps onto you. Try to hold W until he engages. After 6 he can become a big threat and just run you down.
Lillia
Really annoying champ to play against. She gets so much movement speed from just hitting her abilities that she can just run you down and dodge your W easily. Try to hold it until she is right in front of you and you are save to hit it. Try to poke her a lot early.
Nasus
A good Nasus player will try to all-in you with his slow. Keep your W ready and try to deny him most of his farm. He can go Blue-Nasus (Mana) and spam E to poke you hard.
Olaf
At early levels he can't really do much but after level 6 he can just run you down and slow you a lot with his axes. Keep your distance after level 6 and maybe buy antiheal if he becomes a bigger threat.
Renekton
Same as Darius, keep your distance. Can engage you pretty easily. Keep your W ready to stop his engage. You can punish him when he has cooldowns and poke back.
Riven
Keep your distance. Really depends on the Riven player. Usually you can poke her down. She has a good engage so hold your W ready. Be aware of her massive burst especially after level 6. Buy antiheal if she goes for Ravenous Hydra first.
Trundle
Keep your distance. Early game he is pretty weak but he has a lot of ways to engage onto you. He can slow you and make himself faster and deny your escape. Try to hold your W until he is in front of you.
Tryndamere
Like the other champs, he will try to engage you early with his E. Keep distance and maybe skill W on Level 1 to be extra save and stop his early engage, also watch out for early cheese in brushes.
Aatrox
You can poke him early and he won't be able to reach you really. W him if he engages. After level 6 he can just ult and become basically unkillable, especially if he builds Goredrinker. Buy antiheal early.
Cho'Gath
Annoying lane. If you can dodge his Q this matchup should be pretty easy. Maybe try to buy boots early.
Illaoi
Easy lane just keep your distance and dodge her E and Q. She is useless if he can't hit her E and her Q can easily be sidestepped.
Kayle
Really easy lane before level 6. Since she is melee before 6, there is not a lot she can do. You can poke her a lot. After level 6 she can engage onto you but you should still outrange her. Under normal circumstances you outscale her with Kraken Slayer and Rageblade.
Malphite
You outrange him early. He can't reach you even with his Q poke. After level 6 he can be a threat and all in you. If he is going AP he is even able to kill you. If he is going Armor you can only kill him early.
Mordekaiser
Keep distance. Usually an easy lane if you can dodge his E. He won't be able to reach you with his Q. After level 6 he can just ult you into his death realm to get a free kill. Try to W him if he engages hard.
Ornn
Should be a pretty easy lane. You can just poke him to death and deny his engages with a simple W. After level 6 he can maybe successfully engage onto you but he shouldn't to enough damage to kill you. In late game he just stacks armor and it will be hard to kill him.
Pantheon
Keep your distance. He has a pretty easy engage by just jumping onto you and stunning you for a moment but you outrange him in every stage of the game. W him if he engages and you can even get a free root if he ults and you shoot a W at the place where he lands.
Poppy
Keep your distance. May be weak in the early stages but has a really big dash = easy engage. Keep away from walls since she can stun you if she throws you into them. Stacks armor so it will be hard to kill her in the late game.
Shen
Keep your distance. Usually an easy lane. His dash is not far enough to reach you and you can just W him to deny him his engage. He will stack armor so it will be hard to kill him in the late game since he just stacks armor. Ping to your teammates if he is missing since he will ult away.
Sion
Keep your distance. You can poke him to death and run away as soon as you see him casting his Q. Watch out for early cheese in brushes.
Thresh
Thresh toplane? Yes. You usually outrange him by a lot but he can still hit some pretty nasty hooks and if he is going full AD then he will be able to do a lot of damage if he comes close. Be aware of his poke still.
Vayne
You outrange her in every stage of the game. Early she can't do anything against you but if she successfully engages it can be dangerous. Keep away from walls since she can shoot you into them and stun you.
Warwick
Keep your distance. Usually he can't really do much before level 6 so you can just poke him to death. After level 6 he can just ult you can heal to full health and kill you. Buy antiheal.
Yasuo
Keep your distance. He can't do much early and his windwall doesn't even block your autoattacks. But it blocks your W so watch out. After level 6 he may become a threat.
Yone
Keep your distance. He does a lot of damage and has a good engage. Keep your W always ready.
Tahm Kench
Usually an easy lane. He can't really do much if he can't get close to you. Try to poke him as much as possible and stay behind minons. If he hit's you with his Q try to W him.
Teemo
You outrange him in every way. Even with his blind you can still Q him. If he tries to run at you, just W him and he is useless again.
Viego
Keep your distance. He is really weak early. He can't really do much in lane. Stay behind minions and if he goes invisibile go a bit back so he can't hit his stun.
Garen
Easiest lane. He has no kill pressure on you at all. He can't reach you and you can poke him until he dies. Even if he tries to engage onto you you can just W him to deny him everything and probably even kill him.
Urgot
You can completely poke him to death. His dash is not enough to come close to you and even if he is able to reach you you can just W him.

· 11.2 (2st of Ferbuary 2021): Barrier was added as response to comment from SaltCat, added a more Bruiser focused build as response to comment from TheInkKingLoL, added the lethality build so the guide feels more complete so that it covers every viable way to build Senna.
· 11.5: Guinsoo's Rageblade in combination with Senna was nerfed, since the bonus crit on-hit cannot go over 100%, which was the case before. That means the bonus on-hit damage is capped at 200 which sucks, but is still worth building on Senna!
· 11.10: Guinsoo's Rageblade has been buffed! The price has been reduced by 200g which means we can get an earlier powerspike. Nice!
· 11.11: Senna rebalance! She now get's a bit less range when farming her souls with Absolution. Her E Curse of the Black Mist and her R Dawning Shadow now scale with more AP, which doesn't affect our build here though. Now the interesting part: Her Q Piercing Darkness healing now scales with 160% Lethality, which might increase her lethality builds on support. BUT on top lane we can still go the "classic" Guinsoo's Rageblade build, while building The Collector a bit earlier if you need more sustain to heal more with your Q Piercing Darkness.
· 11.17: Senna just got buffed! Her critical damage has been increased which doesn't really matter a lot when playing with Guinsoo's Rageblade. But a good thing even for the Guinsoo's Rageblade build is, that she now has a bigger soul drop rate when killing minons and monsters herself which is really good in top lane!
· 11.23: Pre-Season! Added First Strike in the runes section since it synergizes really great with Senna! Really great rune to get your early snowball rolling faster!
· 12.2: Senna just got a slow on her Q Piercing Darkness which makes her kiting even more strong!
