@temzilla the dorans>wriggles build is m5 inspired because they helped popularise ad kennen. It also gives great objective control.


So, should I build a Bloodrazor on Mordekaiser because it lets my team do baron fast?

Wriggles will hold you back in anything but a PvE with dragon.

Wriggles doesn't actually give you any dragon control, it just puts you behind an IE build and forces you to play more passively.

Wriggles actually gives you less map presence because of how weak you are compared to an IE ranged AD.

Mordekaiser isn't a ranged ad carry :/ And I didn't say you need to use that build, there is another one that you can use :P I usually go IE first too.

Infact, you just gave me a great idea, i'll add a "When to use X build" section, as the first one is mainly for premades centred around invading, controlling early dragons and roaming. (What I tend to do). Whereas the second is for solo que or when you are with premades and you're less likely to roam for kills/do ultra early dragons etc.

That seems reasonable.

I just don't like wriggles, even for an early dragon, 2x dorans + vamp will be as far as you would be in your build in any case.

I played a lot of AD Kennen and nearly no AP Kennen, but i recently dropped him, because his early game isn't as strong against the now common AD's as i thought. Especially Graves does well against Kennen, so he has not an easy laning and his dmg falls a bit off late game. I don't think he is a very good AD Carry but at least in normal games it should be of course playable.

1 interesting thing i wanna say about Kennen is the difference in playstyle around the globe. I'm playing on EUW and Ive seen quite a lot of AD Kennen 1-2 months ago but now he isnt as popular at that role anymore. It's just AP Kennen top and sometimes mid. I follow the competitive scene a lot and in that Top lane where EU plays AP Kennen is the biggest difference to Asia. It seems like Asia prefers AD Kennen over AP Kennen at top lane. He is just rarely seen as an AP in competitive play and he is mostly build like this guide tells. Berserkers, double(/triple dorans), pd, ie. With sometimes alternatives such as frozen mallet or maw of malmortious. And I'd even say that an AD Kennen provides more late game damage than an AP Kennen so it makes sense to build him as an AD Top. It's also very easy to win lanes untill like level 6 because others dont expect AD and you can just poke them low. In mid game bruisers are scaling better so it's kind of hard and you probably need some help of your jungler then. And you have to consider AD Kennen has not as much utility as AP Kennen and he is not as tanky as AP Kennen so you better run a tanky jungler like Alistar.

So just to summarize AD Kennen in Asia: I've seen him once Bot Lane and at least 10-15 times Top Lane.
