Who Wins

Pre-6, you lose the 2v2 unless you can force melee range consistently — Senna's long-range poke and Veigar's E cage keep you from safely engaging, and your W passive healing is not enough to offset sustained poke damage before you get items.
Post-6, your R gives you a meaningful all-in window, but Veigar's R one-shots you if you're poke-damaged, so you only win post-6 if you engage at high HP with your support's CC landing first.

Your best trading pattern is to use Q to dash onto Senna or Veigar when they step up to last-hit, immediately chain into your W to reduce incoming damage, and force a short burst trade before disengaging — extended fights favor them because Senna heals and Veigar stacks passive AP.
Never trade when Veigar's E is available, as getting caged at melee range with no dash out is a death sentence.

Push the wave aggressively to deny Senna soul stacks — Senna's passive requires her to collect souls from minions and champions, so a fast-pushing wave forces her to choose between last-hitting and collecting souls.
However, avoid shoving so hard that you're frozen under their tower, where Veigar can safely stack Q and Senna can poke you for free.

Do not engage when Veigar's E is off cooldown and you have no vision of its placement — getting caged at melee range with no escape makes you a free kill for their combo.
Also avoid using your R offensively when you are below 60% HP, as Veigar's R will execute you mid-animation.
