This is a mixed-versus-mixed exchange between Alistar and Senna. Alistar carries 685 base health to Senna’s 530, and 40 armour to 25. That 15-point armour gap favours Alistar in the first all-in. Late-game bases read 2725 health / 120 armour for Alistar and 2043 / 93 for Senna. Base attack damage is 62 against 50, so Alistar wins the raw auto-attack exchange.
Range decides much of the early game: Senna attacks from 600 units, Alistar from 125. Senna can poke for free, so Alistar has to pick a moment instead of trading blindly.
That 44.5% rests on 1,595 recorded games from 16.13.1. This lane rebuilds from live ranked data each cycle.
