I'm not sure I agree with your assessments of Pyke, to be honest. He is almost the quintessential example of a, and is very comparable to the likes of and  in terms of gameplay identity and even damage output (the difference being that Pyke scales well into damage lategame/is forced to). Riot set out to create a support that would appeal to assassin players and I think they did that very successfully.

I think Senna will be the same. I do not think she will be functional as the bottom lane carry/. I think she's just going to be an Enchanter/Catcher who appeals to marksmen players. She will likely use her basic attacks/attacking enemies as part of her core gameplay, and Senna players will be rewarded for playing like a Marksman. But I don't think it'll be more than an advertising gimmick, like Pyke. However, like Pyke, I also think the negative response to her will be about how it feels like you're playing against two full-gold carries.

I wouldn't be surprised if Senna's kit ends up being similar to Auriel from Heroes of the Storm, or even Moira from Overwatch. A healer/enchanter that needs to attack enemies to generate their healing resource. And lo, Moira is subjective to memes about the fact she never seems to be healing/gold medals.
