do we? Had some huge issues with people like Jarvan and XZ. they get fed like 9/1/4 and they're a complete force in teamfights. Example: In my last game, there was Tanky DPS Jarvan(fed), Malz(fed), XZ(meh), MF(feeding), and Nid(meh). Obviously Malz goes first but after that Jarvan ults in and no one knows what to do. We were winning until we surrendered after losing 4 teamfights in a row. I was playing Kennen and at first I tried to focus him with my teammates but he doesn't even take my shyt, just ate up those lighting like cookie. After that, I tried to run past him and GG Malz and Nid but Jarvan and XZ already killed half my teammates before I can even drop those 2 half way. So uh......what would you guys have done in your situation.

Rush a QSS, then focus Jarv if he's DPS. OR avoid team fights altogether and just back door all game =P

Crowd control the tanky DPS and focus down the ranged carry - alternatively, keep the ranged carry zoned out of the fight somehow while you focus down the tanky DPS.

This is arguably much more difficult when facing both a fed tanky DPS and ranged carry.

@adon-I dont see how QSS does you any good when you're in his fckn circle

@jebus-I was kennen, CC'ed everybody cuz I try to tag everyone in my circle doesn't work. Jarvan had mallet and like mres and **** and my team dies when I bypass him and start to hit the ranged carries. it's like he can solo carry this shyt.

Frankly?

I play morde and i've never had that problem, because if i ult the ranged carry really really early, they will just run away and it will be a 4v5 for the lulz.

It's pretty hilarious actually.


In you situation as Kennen, it's difficult, because Nidalee, Malz, and Jarvan are three VERY formidable champions in a team fight.

What would I do as kennen?

I'd build an Abyssal Scepter, Rylai's, Zhonya's combination in order to be just a bit tankier.

(lols, i've never played kennen before, and that's the top rated mobafire guide >_>)

But really, you have to focus the person who is the highest threat, so if Jarvan was wrecking you, you have to either CC him, or kill him (or do both if you know you can handle his carries damage)

There of course is always the option to split push and avoid team fights at all cost.
Tri lane for life.

Just avoid team fights. You lost 4. You probably should've picked something up by the time you lost the second one.

^this

From just reading your post, it sounded like you guys were already behind in terms of gold/items when team fights started up. Defend, farm, push creep waves/backdoor and avoid teamfights were probably your best bets.

DO NOT RUSH QSS AGAINST 2 AD CHAMPS ROFLSAWCE, no idea what adonikams thinking.
Zhonya's Hourglass is a core on kennen, syncs with his ult, as for doing dmg to op offtank's you need both Rabadon's Deathcap and Void Staff however kennen is more flat m.pen, so Sorcerer's Shoes and Abyssal Mask

A kennen build:
Sorcerer's Shoes
Hextech Revolver
Rylai's Crystal Scepter
Zhonya's Hourglass
Rabadon's Deathcap
Will of the Ancients
Abyssal Mask
