Senna Scaling: Grade S
Yes. Senna is one of the strongest late-game champions in the game. Grade S, Best late, in The Scaling Codex.
Grade reviewed against patch 26.13. Patch-sensitive placements are re-checked when the champion changes.
Verdict. Infinite scaling range, damage, and utility, grouped with Aphelios and Jinx for very high range and impact. The 26.13 changes trimmed her damage and farming pattern, but ally-fed souls and her defining range and utility hold up in coordinated fights. Bottom of S.

Why Senna gets an S
Souls convert time into stats that keep arriving: range, damage, and stronger utility, all still growing after full build. Range is the part that matters most, because a support who eventually out-ranges enemy carries can heal, root and shoot from ground nobody can contest.
The kit doubles the value. Piercing Darkness heals allies along the same line that damages enemies, and Dawning Shadow shields the whole team from across the map. She scales as a carry and a support out of the same purchases.
The 26.13 trim is real
The patch cut her soul drop rate on her own minion kills from 10 percent to 5 percent while raising the rate on minions she does not kill from 28 to 32 percent. Her damage came down as well. That is why the verdict points at ally-fed souls: the farming pattern now favors letting the lane work for her rather than collecting everything herself.
Play her the old way and the soul count falls behind, which puts her a grade lower in practice. It is also why she sits at the bottom of this tier rather than the top.
Count souls, not kills. The range from those souls is what keeps her safe and relevant late.

How this grade was judged
The grade weighs range, target access, sustained and burst damage, crowd control, mobility, durability, healing and shielding, resets, cooldown structure, objective and formation control, split pressure, and how well the champion survives a long fight. Builds and forms that scale differently are graded separately. This is Vambient's gameplay evaluation of coordinated late-game fights, not a win-rate calculation. Full methodology.

The grade measures one thing: how much a champion can influence a coordinated late-game objective fight once both teams reach full builds. It does not measure early strength, snowballing, or win rate. A weak late-game champion still wins by ending the game first, which is what the rest of the library teaches. How the grades are decided.
