Syndra
She has about the same range as your Q, but all of her spells are ranged. And as soon as you ult, she'll just E you away or slow you with W, and you're a goner. Stay back, CS with Q, and if she gets cocky, she has a very slow base speed, so it's not too hard to get your stun off once her spells are on CD.
Introduction
-
Stun lock entire enemy team.
-
Deals huge damage.
-
MASSIVE power increase at level 6.
-
Short CD on Q, so it's quite spamable.
-
Uses energy, so you can bait the mana out of your opponent and out-sustain.
-
Has a great engage with his ult.
-
Can 1v2 fairly easily anytime after level 6.
Cons:
-
Not too mobile. Can speed up, but only for a short time to engage once, or disengage once.
-
Easily baited. If your team doesn't decide to follow up, you have no escape.
-
Stun is a little bit slow to get off if you don't constantly micromanage your W stacks.
-
Can't do much against a fed tank.
Okay so now you're fairly comfortable playing Kennen. Diving into the backline is hella easy because of your E, and then you've taken out their squishy carries with a quick RW combo. Wow, nice job, that was SUPER tough wasn't it? You'll get at least a kill, probably two, sometimes even 3 in the span of about 3 seconds where their team runs away because half the power in your ult is just the scare factor. There's literally no counterplay. Even if you die, their entire team got stunned for a solid two seconds, and you took at least one or two other guys with you, so it's incredibly easy for your team to clean up.
I'm going to continue making this guide more comprehensive, so stay tuned for more pro Kennen tips.
