Experimental AP Offtank Kennen

[quote=tehAsian]For solo top (very)[b][u]TANK[/u][/b]y [[kennen]]. [[doran's shield]] > [[boots of speed]] > [[heart of gold]] > [[catalyst the protector]] > [[rabadon's deathcap]] > [[mercury's treads]] > [[abyssal scepter]] > [[randuin's omen]] > [[frozen heart]] > [[banshee's veil]] Total stats: 9/21/0 Mpen Reds Hp/level yellows Mres/level blues Flat health quints(can be switched for something else) 2.8k Health 283 AP 255 Armor 186.3 Mres 37.1% Cdr(12.1% from masteries) Max R > W > E > Q, since most solo tops are melee, you can abuse them with the 5th hit on W. Total cost: [s]16000[/s] Too expensive, so a lot of last hitting and farming will be required. Don't really know how to make it cheaper :/ Purpose: Be tanky early on, but still do consistent damage. Late game, you focus COMPLETELY on your stuns, just EWEWEWEWEWEWE in a fight, auto-attack, Q for clutch stuns, etc. The point is not to do damage, but to stun-lock the other team in a fight. Then use [[frozen heart]] and [[randuin's omen]] to completely shut down AD Carries. The main thing I'm worried about is [[catalyst the protector]]. Is it a good idea, or a bad idea? Pros: -Lane sustain, because I'm not getting [[hextech Revolver]]/[will of the ancients]] -Health, because I'm not getting [[Giant's belt]] -Builds into [[Banshee's veil]] Cons: -Unusual -Lolwut, why u get mana -Expensive-ish How it works: Get some health for tankiness, but work up a [[rabadon's deathcap]]. This gives great damage output early game. Then [[abyssal scepter]] rounds our your Mres, while giving some more damage. [[randuin's omen]] and [[frozen heart]], along with the masteries, gives enough Cdr to EWEWEWEWEWE in a fight.(Not exact skill rotation, but similar. Also, it gives a permanent buff onto [[kennen]] because the Cooldown of his [[lightning rush]] will be shorter than the duration of the +50 Armor/Mres. Considering [[force of nature]], but don't know what to take out because the build kind of lacks health. Really need help on this :( Suggestions? And don't flame and say the obvious~ *Note: I've tested this, it works in mid too. Went 4/1/1 vs [[cassiopeia]]~[/quote]

[quote=Zoki]Catalyst shouldn't be bought so soon. You'll pay 1,3k gold for it, just to gain 290 health, while mana is a waste. Buy it only when you intend to build Banshee's as next item. Also, I would recommend upgrading Q second after ultimate. And yeah, some spellvamp would benefit, and if you're top and mid is someone like Brand, WotA is awesome.[/quote]

[quote=tehAsian]Alright, do you have any recommendations to replace catalyst? Also, I'm completely rejecting spell vamp on this build. You don't do enough damage to justify getting it. If I got spell vamp, my defenses will drop by a lot. Not saying I'm not going to b Tanky anymore, it's just that I don't know what to replace it with. I'm getting E over Q because, again, I'm not getting a lot of AP, so E actually does more. Plus, I'm getting health early, so the bonus resistances are more beneficial than poking power.[/quote]

[quote=tehAsian]^where's the cdr? With max you can have team-wide stuns every 4-5 seconds. That's what I'm aiming for, not being tanky and doing damage.[/quote]
