Who Wins
- Pre-6 you win 2v2s through superior range and trap control, with Soraka's sustain helping survive their poke.
- Post-6 your R gives you kill pressure on low targets while maintaining the range advantage that defines this matchup.
Synergy & Trading
- Trade with auto-Q-auto when they step up, using your range advantage to avoid retaliation.
- Place traps behind them during trades to zone their retreat and force them to eat more damage or walk into traps.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Maintain slow pushes to build minion advantages, then crash waves to deny their poke opportunities under tower.
- Use your range to freeze when ahead, forcing them to walk up and take unfavorable trades.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste traps on random poke - save them for zoning during trades or setting up kills with Soraka's E silence.
- Never walk into Senna's W range without your E available, as the root duration allows them to land full combos.
