Statistical Matchup Analysis

Rakan dominates the meta (16th most popular, 4.9% pick rate) and regularly clashes with Senna (3.6% pick rate). Understanding this common matchup forms the foundation of consistent gameplay for one of support's current powerhouses. Surprising upset: Despite Rakan's higher tier rating, Senna wins 51.5% of encounters. This suggests Senna's kit specifically counters Rakan's playstyle, overriding general meta strength - approach this matchup with extra caution. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Unsealed Spellbook + Cash Back combination (57.9% win rate) plus optimal itemization Locket of the Iron Solari, Knight's Vow, Thornmail, and Ionian Boots of Lucidity boosts your chances from 48.5% to 80.6% - potentially game-changing.

Vision advantage: Despite losing the direct matchup, Rakan's superior warding (0.87 wards/min, 29th among supports) can swing team fights and objectives in your favor. Outclassed across the board: Senna leads in both matchup win rate (51.5%) and damage (599 vs 262/min). Rakan must seek alternative win conditions through macro play and team coordination. Strong individual performance: Rakan maintains better KDA (2.90, 9th place vs 19th for Senna), but loses the matchup overall. High KDA without wins suggests difficulty translating individual advantages into victory conditions.

How to Beat Senna as Rakan (Support)

Despite the slight difference in effectiveness, in the Rakan versus Senna matchup as support, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

The magic damage that Rakan deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Senna deals mainly physical damage (93.10%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

An important advantage of Rakan is superior vision control (ranked 29th among supports) (versus 43rd for Senna), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.6 versus 2.9) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Rakan Support versus Senna Support matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Rakan player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Senna player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.
