Needed to do all 3 ninjas O.o.


Kennen is a very strong and fun champion. He is the only ninja to fight from a distance, he is VERY mobile and can be used either as AP or AD (like Nidalee). He brings a large amount of stuns as well as having the lane poke of a teemo. Kennen is picked mid alot, so people will not know whether he is top or mid.
You have energy as your resource.

Passive: Mark of the Storm- Kennen's abilities add Marks of the Storm to opponents. Upon receiving 3 Marks of Storm, an opponent is stunned for 1 second and Kennen receives 25 energy. This stun is subject to diminishing returns on subsequent occurrences in a short time frame. Marks of storm last 8 seconds on the target.
This passive gives you your CC. Watch this passive and manage your stun marks well.

Q: Thundering Shuriken- Throws a shuriken that damages the first enemy it hits for 75 / 115 / 155 / 195 / 235 (+66% of ability power) magic damage and adds a Mark of the Storm. Cost 65 / 60 / 55 / 50 / 45 Energy.Range 900.
Very strong poke, this skill allows you to farm safely even if you are behind.

W: Electrical Surge- Passive: Every 5 attacks, Kennen deals magic damage equal to 40 / 50 / 60 / 70 / 80% of his attack damage and adds a Mark of the Storm to his target. Active: Surges electricity through all nearby targets afflicted by Mark of the Storm, dealing 65 / 95 / 125 / 155 / 185 (+55% of ability power) magic damage and adding another mark. Cost 45 Energy. Range 800.
Gives you bonus harass and makes your autos stronger. Allows you to do some magic damage as AD kennen, making your damage come in a hybrid form.


E: Lightning Rush- Kennen moves very fast and gains the ability to pass through units, dealing 85 / 125 / 165 / 205 / 245 (+55% of ability power) magic damage and adding a Mark of the Storm to any hostile unit he passes through. For 4 seconds Kennen gains his base movement speed again as a flat movement speed bonus, as well as increased armor and magic resistance and the ability to pass through units, but he is unable to attack. Kennen is refunded 40 energy if he passes through an enemy while using this spell, but can only gain this effect once. Lightning Rush deals half damage to minions. Armor and Magic Resist Bonus: 10 / 20 / 30 / 40 / 50 Cost 110 Energy. Range 200.
This skill is your mobility skill that gives you safety in lane and the ability to position in fights.

R: Slicing Maelstrom- Summons a magical storm that deals 80 / 145 / 210 (+33% of ability power) magic damage to a random enemy champion near Kennen every 0.5 / 0.4 / 0.33 seconds. This storm attacks up to 6 / 10 / 15 times and cannot hit the same target more than 3 times. A Mark of the Storm is applied to enemies on the first bolt they are hit by. Cost 40 Energy. Range 20.
This skill is your AoE CC. This skill makes you respond to ganks well as well as making you very strong in teamfights.

Skill Order:
Combos:

Q-W-E-Q-(R if you want to commit)

Darius (He would win... If he could ever touch you), Singed (You can fight him ranged and outrun him with your e), Olaf (see Darius, remember though he can avoid your stun), Warwick (Poke him, only his ult will be able to reach you, after which you can e and continue to kill), Udyr (He wont be able to touch you), Garen (see everyone lol), Renekton (Hes water type, your super effective) and Riven (You can avoid her completely).

Lee Sin (he can Q you when you Q him and come up and trade, he has alot of sustain too and kicks you away when you ult.), Janna (shields everything you want to do, and she trades harder. When you ult she does. GG), Swain (Lockdown!!!), Fizz (He has more mobility), and Irelia (If she gets anything to get even a tiny bit ahead of you she wins, Better nerf irelia.)

• When you have your special auto up try and hit the enemy with it.
• If you ult then zhonya's your ult will still go on, and you will be untouchable.
• Do not blow your E unless you need to, you will need it to avoid ganks.

• QSS will stop his stun, It is a worthy investment.
• If you make him waste his E you have a period you can jump on him.
• Getting a champion with a knockback on your team will hardcounter kennen.

AD kennen

Wriggle's Lantern - Sustain, damage, armor, and keeps your lane warded what more could you ask for in an item?

Trinity Force - kennen can make use of this item very well as AD.
What part of the trinity force do I build first?
Good Question. This is all situational You build Phage if you want survivability health and chasing power, Zeal if you want movespeed for escapeing, and sheen if you want to be able to burst down enemies faster and can spare the survivability of the phage.

Black Cleaver- Works decently with your shred, gives you AS and good damage.

Infinity Edge- Makes you strong in a fight.

Phantom Dancer- Gives you AS crit and MS very good for you.

Last Whisper- Armor Pen for when they stack armor

Bloodthirster - Sustain and damage

AP kennen

Rabadon's Deathcap - More AP more spearkills.

Lich Bane - All you AP is converted to damage and with your spammy nature you'll proc it alot.

Void Staff - more pen, screw the tanks.

Rylai's Crystal Scepter-You need to live through your team

Will of the Ancients- Really good sustain

Zhonya's Hourglass- You can use this then ult, you win xD.
You can work very well here as enemy teams will typically not try as hard to counterpick. You have a very good laning phase and can beat most of those "Im highest Elo, so I will first pick a top laner people". Enemies also will not know where you are laning top or mid.
You can make an AoE comp with your team, your ultimate is very strong for coordinated fights, and you can win most lanes. These factors make you a really strong pick in a ranked 5s game.

This was my top facts kennen, and with him the end of the league of legends top lane ninjas. I hope you enjoyed this top facts, kennen is a very strong champion that is decently used. He has a good skillcap to learn but if mastered is very strong pick. As always I hope you have a good day and good luck on the fields of justice summoners.

SERIES UPDATE:
I plan on releasing these every day/other day until I get all of the top lane picks in the league ( about 50-60 of them) if there are any requests leave in the comments below and ill work on them. I want to make this series for others to better understand the champions of top lane. Once I am done (Or once I have a few top facts out) I will release some Facts about top lane mechanics, eventually I will probably put everything into one generic top lane guide, however until I do that I will continue to watch and update my blogs as needed. Tips and tricks I missed under my Top Facts would be helpful if you put anything I don't have in the comments I will be sure to add it. I will be forming a guide called The complete guide to Top lane or something in that nature. The intention of this series is not as a "Build guide" or a "play guide", these are more like facts you should know about the champion. These are to inspire people to think of new champion possibilities they might not have thought of or to help a new player with the champion. I do not list runes masteries or a set build ( I give a kind of recommended items) in here due to the fact I want people to think of that for themselves and try new things. This series is an attempt for the LOL community to try new things and have fun in a fun game. Thank you for reading and have a nice day :P
