The mighty "Cull" on Kennen top lane :)

[quote=Troy Sin]I have purchased Cull a few times for Kennen in the toplane, mostly after having an easy/good start to the game, like having an easy macthup, jungle pressure etc. But i actually see it working on Kennen top in general! I say this for several reasons; 1. Its really nice on Kennen in particular because I would often buy 2 Doran's blade in the early game anyway. And Cull provides pretty much the same damage+ more sustain, and the bonus Hp from Doran's you can live without if you have a succesfull early game (lvl. 1-6). So having a Cull and a Doran's blade instead of 2 Doran's blades! 2. The Cull's "+3 Life on hit" is much better sustain than the "3% Lifesteal" from Doran's (With Dorans you should get about 1.5 Hp from a basic attack in the early game.) Also I am usually using some attackspeed runes on Kennen top, and since it is "Life on hit" that is a nice synergy. 3. I find Kennen's kit quite strong in the early game, and he has an easy time against most champ's, atleast with a lvl/pressure advantage. But he isnt really much of a killer imo. more of a "poke bully". I mean unless your opponnent is overstaying in lane or making some pretty major mistakes you will not be able to solo kill a good player with a somewhat tanky champ. But i do think he needs some sustain and attack damage for this early pressure and herass in lane. This does Cull deliver and then you get that lovely bonus gold! :) 4. Kennen could use a boost of gold in the midgame for Zhonya's and Rylais/Abyssal. Which Cull gives by selling it for "180 g" (I think)and gaining the passive of "300+100 g". (Cull passive should be quite easily finished at min. 20 if you buy it on one of your first backs.) 5. At the moment I am often using a sustain based kennen top, (think I might make a build guide and put it up!) and here Cull fits in well. You are welcome to comment! And try taking a look at my build guide for Kennen :)[/quote]
