How to Beat Senna as Vel'Koz (Support)

The Vel'Koz versus Senna matchup as support is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

The magic damage that Vel'Koz deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Senna deals mainly physical damage (93.66%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

An important advantage of Vel'Koz is superior vision control (ranked 28th among supports) (versus 42nd for Senna), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.7 versus 2.2) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Vel'Koz Support versus Senna Support matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Vel'Koz player to maintain constant pressure on Senna, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Vel'Koz tips:

  • When laning, use Void Rift to kill minions while building stacks of Organic Deconstruction on your opponent. You can then follow up with your other abilities.
  • Shooting Plasma Fission diagonally and splitting at maximum range allows you to hit opponents that are out of the range of the initial missile, but is more challenging to pull off.
  • Be very careful about when to use Life Form Disintegration Ray. Many champions have abilities that can interrupt the spell.
