I'll tell you what I like/dislike about this champion.

1. It's an electric mage!

2. He is universal.

3. Kennen is the best blind pick on top.

4. He is god in teamfights.

5. One of the few mobile mages.

1. Sometimes it annoys me that I can't hit enemy with skills.

2. It's hard to get back into the game if you're behind.

3. The hero model is too small, you can lose yourself XD.

4. Weak against tanks.

PROS + Deals AP damage. + Has a good poke. + One of the few mobile mages. + Good in teamfights. + Hasn't bad matchups. + Has one of the best initiations in game. + Can protect carry in your team. + Has a lot of stuns.

CONS - Squishy. - Your team will not have a tank on top. - Bad into tanks (but playable). - If you fall, it will be difficult for you to get up. - Bad without good farming.

Welcome to the one of the most difficult part of this guide, because if you want to win and really play Kennen in any matchup, you will have to read this entire chapter.

SORCERY

Basically, this is my choice in warriors. Summon Aery allows us to poke the enemy well, thereby preparing him for our all-in. Let me explain why this is bad in tanks: they tolerate our poke too easily and on the lane with them we concentrate on farming, instead of poke. Phase Rush allows us to make short trades and run away from the enemy if he goes all in. For more detailed information, see Detailed matchups.

Nimbus Cloak help us when we go all-in. This gives Kennen a speed that will allow him to easily catch up with the fleeing enemy, even if he uses Flash.

Kennen is the range champion so he doesn't take much damage from the enemy, so Absolute Focus can almost always be active on him. I take Transcendence with Phase Rush because we will be doing short trades and will not be able to maintain health at a high level, so Ability haste will allow us to do these short trades more often.

Scorch gives us even more damage on the lane, so we prepare the enemy even faster for our all in!

Since Kennen is a mage, he has less HP than bruisers, so he can use this rune well to deal more damage to enemies on the lane and not only.

More atack speed => more poke => more damage! With it we can easier to farm.

For the adaptive runes I take first 2 slots I take 2 adaptive AP is great for early game and snowballing, and the attack speed from the Legend: Alacrity is enough. Third slot: This should be the resistance you're going against - magic resist against AP tops or armor vs AD top.

PRECISION

Basically, this is my choice in tanks. Conqueror helps us in protracted fights against tanks. He gives a lot of AP and restores health, so Kennen can more easily endure the hated tanks.

I take Triumph because it's just the best rune available here. He restores our health after kill and gives us more gold for it.

Legend: Alacrity allow us to easily farm and damage more!

So, we are playing against tanks => they have more HP than us and we'll hurts them more!

Since we are focused on the farm against tanks, we need as many items as possible, so we take a Magical Footwear so as not to spend precious money on it. Also, we will not be hindered by additional speed from it.

Future's Market allow us to buy core items early and to get advantage on lane!

For the adaptive runes I take first 2 slots I take 2 adaptive AP is great for early game and snowballing, and the attack speed from the Legend: Alacrity is enough. Third slot: This should be the resistance you're going against - magic resist against AP tops or armor vs AD top.

DOMINATION

Basically, this is my choice in Mages or Assasins or Bruisers-assasins (like Fiora or Camille). I take it with Ignite because i take it when i have to kill enemies early. Electrocute give us burst damage to kill enemy easily!

I take Taste of Blood for extra stamina on the lane. I don't take Cheap Shot because Kennen really need heal with Taste of Blood.

I take Eyeball Collection because it's profitable rune for killing emenies. The more you kill, the easier it will be for you to kill again.

Ingenious Hunter allow us to use Hextech Rocketbelt, Zhonya's Hourglass, Banshee's Veil more often for 30 seconds!

Cosmic Insight allows us to use summoner spells more often and together with Ingenious Hunter allows us to use items 40 seconds more often!

Future's Market allow us to buy core items early and to get advantage on lane!

For the adaptive runes I take first 2 slots I take 2 adaptive AP is great for early game and snowballing. Third slot: This should be the resistance you're going against - magic resist against AP tops or armor vs AD top.

INSPIRATION

This is a universal rune for playing duo. You stun enemy with Mark of the Storm and your teammate jungler will easily kill an enemy slowed down by Glacial Augment.

Allows you to bypass the enemy and make unexpected ganks on him.

Future's Market allow us to buy core items early and to get advantage on lane!

Cosmic Insight allows us to use summoner spells and Hextech Flashtraption more often and to use items 10 seconds more often!

The synergy of Nimbus Cloak and Hextech Flashtraption is huge. You can ambush and bypass your enemies very often.

More poke on lane, so you can prepare your enemy to gank.

For the adaptive runes I take first 2 slots I take 2 adaptive AP is great for early game and snowballing. Third slot: This should be the resistance you're going against - magic resist against AP tops or armor vs AD top.

FLASH: is the most important spell in the game. It helps you from escaping nasty situations and also for chasing and killing enemies whenever ​you can't reach them. Always take this every game! Kennen also can initiate teamfight with Flash, it's so beautiful! TELEPORT: I take it against tanks when I'm not sure I can kill them. It allows you to play the map in a versatile manner. If you make a mistake with wave management, it will help you get back on the lane and fix it. IGNITE: I use it against mages, assasins, or briusers-assasins or in cases where I need to get an advantage early, more in Detailed Matchups.

Now let's delve into the items.

It allow us to damage enemy with auto attacks and heal with it. Also it give us HP that help us to stay lane longer.

Two Health Potions will help you stay on the lane longer until the first back.

This item is really good against teams that don't have a lot of tanks/bruisers. Gives all the characteristics that Kennen needs. Active allow you easily initiate without Flash. Also myth bonus give us magic penetration tnat we need.

We take this mythic if the enemy has a lot of tanks/bruisers, so we can healing with it and Conqueror very well!. Thanks to passive, we will damage well with TRUE damage. Also, thanks to the mythical bonus, we will be able to use skills often.

The Sorcerer's Shoes][/color gives us speed for the kite, penetration for more damage.

Disclaimer: you can buy these items in any slot, depending on the need.

First situational item, that you want to use whenever you are standing against any composition, that can easily get through your team straight on you. You can also build it when you have to live after your Flash initiation.

My favorite magic penetration item, that will make sure that you are able to deal damage during mid/late game. You should always look around how much MR are your opponents having and then decide, when do you want to buy this item.

A useful item against initiators and Nocturne (because it will allow you to see everything even if he use Paranoia) and also against full AP teams.

Must-have item against sutain champs like Vladimir, Aatrox, Samira, Nami, Maokai etc. Even though you can poke well, it's not so useful if your opponents can heal it up.

I take it against teams that have shields. It allow us to penetrate it!

I take it against full AP teams when i have to tank.

I take it when i have to carry game. This gives us a lot of AP and move speed. Good item for carring.

Last item in every game. It give us the most AP in game!

You can buy it when you have been fed and you will be fed, only this way.

Stealth Ward will allow you to survive the lane phase, protecting you from the enemy jungler.

I always use it after lane phase because Kennen is a trap champion that have to be invisible for enemies to kill them!

Never use it.

Time to take a look at Kennen skills!

PASSIVE: MARK OF THE STORM

Kennen's abilities apply a stack for 6 seconds. At 3 stacks, enemies are stunned for 1.25 second and Kennen gains 25 energy.

Kennen's passive allow him to trade without getting damage, so abuse it!

Q: THUNDERING SHURIKEN

Kennen throws a shuriken, dealing 75 / 125 / 175 / 225 / 275 (+85% of ability power) magic damage to the first enemy hit.

Q This is our bread and butter. He deals the main damage and is a good poke on the lane. The more often you hit it to them, the faster you will win!

• Use it to check bushes
• Use it to kill SIEGE MINION .

W: ELECTRICAL SURGE

Passive: Every 5th attack deals an additional 35 / 45 / 55 / 65 / 75 (+35% of ability power) (+0.8 / 0.9 / 1.0 / 1.1 / 1.2% per bonus attack damage) magic damage. Active: Kennen sends out a blast of electricity, dealing 70 / 95 / 120 / 145 / 170 (+80% of ability power) magic damage to nearby enemies affected by Mark of the Storm. Satchel Charge will automatically destroy towers below 25 / 27.5 / 30 / 32.5 / 35% of their health..

W is our main source of passive labels! Try to hit the enemy with an enhanced auto attack and he will quickly run out of steam.

• You can zoning enemy with enchanced attack.

E: LIGHTNING RUSH

Kennen turns into a ball of lightning, gaining 100% movement speed, dealing 80 / 120 / 160 / 200 / 240 (+80% of ability power) magic damage to enemies he passes through, and becoming ghosted for 2 seconds. If Kennen damages at least one enemy, he gains 40 Energy. After this ability ends, Kennen gains 40 / 50 / 60 / 70 / 80% attack speed for 4 seconds. Kennen can recast to end this ability early.

E is our mobility ability, use it wisely!

• Use it to push the wave.
• Use it to escape gank.
• Use it to kite enemies.

R: SLICING MAELSTROM

Kennen unleashes a magical storm, dealing 40 / 75 / 110 (+22.5% of ability power) magic damage to all nearby enemies every 0.6 seconds, and gaining 20 / 40 / 60 armor and magic resist for 3 seconds. Successive hits deal 10% increased damage for each hit the enemy has already suffered.

It's one of the best teamfights ability. Use it to mark enemies and stun them ALL!

Let's look at the Kennen combos!

You want to know where the enemy jungler is starting, same goes for your jungler.

Every good Jungler is going to be on the river at around 3:20 mins into the game, which is the spawn time of the Scuttlers. Gank is going to have a place before or after this timer. The optimal ward time is around 2:50.

Before that time you should ward the side he is pathing towards. Trying to get priority for the river around 3:20 timer for your jungler sounds great, but don’t force it if you can’t.

Minions Mechanic On the first wave, both waves meet at the middle of lane at the same time. If no one hits them they will kill each other and lane will not push. If there is same minions but they meet closer to your tower. This will start to push the wave against the enemy tower. This is because your next minion wave reaches the enemy wave earlier, so they start to attack the enemy minion wave first and kill them faster, this will cause the wave to start pushing away from your tower. The closer the waves of minions are to your tower, the more they will push off from you, as your minions will approach faster than the enemies. If you are not there you will lose gold and exp. So, we can use it to get an advantage.

Level 1 push to you

If you know the enemy is helping for the jungler, you can Go further in lane and start to hold the enemy wave near his tower and when your wave reaches that part you go into the bush this will make enemy minions all target one of your minions and kill it fast. The next enemy wave will also reach faster and start pushing.

So just last hit the minions as late as possible to make it come to your tower.
As you can see, by the third wave, the enemy has 4 more minions.

Freezing This is used to deprive the enemy gold and even experience. freezing a wave means that you know that wave will push to you, so you will not attack minions other than last hitting them. If the enemy wave is bigger, and it's close to your tower, you will need 4 extra enemy minions to freeze.

Pros to freezing a wave:

1. Freezing can deprive enemy CS which will give you bigger gold advantage.
2. The enemy have to overstay in lane to get experience and gold, which will make it easier for your jungler to gank you.
3. You are close to your tower, so it's hard for enemy jungler to gank you.
4. When you are behind and enemy roams, you can freeze to get back.

Cons to freezing a wave:

1. The enemy can roam.
2. If enemy jungler comes and kills you at your tower, you miss a lot of minions and allow them to take turret plates quickly.

Fast push You use all your skills to push the wave towards the enemy tower. You need to use fast push in the following cases: 1. Whem you killed the enemy. 2. When you have to back. 3. When enemy is freezing. In each case, you can ask your jungler to help you.

Slow push

Slow pushing means only attacking minions to last hit them, this will make you have a big minion wave so it will be hard for the enemy to fight in it without taking a lot of damage.
Also you can dive enemy and he'll lose all wave!!!



In the early game you have to farm, poke and zone the enemy. Use trading combinations to avoid retaliatory damage. If your jungler needs help, don't be stingy, help if you can. If you are standing against a tank, then I advise you to call a jungler for help, you will not be able to cope without him. You must also protect the RIFT HERALD .



Do the same as in the early game, only now you will still need to go to the objects and help the team pick them up. You will learn more about teamfights soon.



In the late game, you have to focus on teamfights. Here any death will lead to defeat, so be careful. You can hide in the bushes and wait for the enemy carry to kill him and finish the game. Important objects are Baron Nashor and Elder Dragon , I do not advise you to give them away. Remember: one teamfights will cost the enemies of the game, so show yourself in all its glory!

Teamfights Now we move on to what Kennen is best at: teamfights. Before the teamfigt, make sure that there are no more enemies than you, otherwise you will be defeated. I advise you to look at the enemy summoner's spells and items. If they have Exhaust I would not advise initiating first. Your main task is to damage as much as possible to the enemy team and kill carry. You can do this in different ways: 1. Go to the enemies in the back 2. Go ahead. 3. Wait for the initiation of your allies and follow them. 4. Wait for the initiation of enemies and make counter initiations. You can also protect your carries with your stuns.
