Key takeaways

  • Kennen vs Darius is an even matchup: Kennen wins 51.3% of 191 games, and the 95% range (44.3–58.3%) comfortably includes 50%.
  • Both champions' overall Top win rates predict 49.1% for Kennen; the result is within the margin of error of that, so this matchup mostly reflects the two champions' general strength.
  • Neither side reliably wins the lane: the average gold difference at 15 minutes is 296, within the margin of error (87 games).
  • Kennen players pick Scorch far more often against Darius: 57.7% of their other Top games, 75.3% here.
How we calculate this

Games: ranked Solo/Duo and Flex games on the North America server from the patch shown. Remakes (games under 5 minutes) are excluded.

A game only counts when Kennen and Darius played the same position on opposite teams, so roaming, lane swaps within a team or a champion merely being in the same game never count as this matchup.

The 95% range is a Wilson score interval. Confidence comes from how wide that range is: within ±3 points is very high, ±5 high, ±8 moderate, anything wider low. Below 20 games a matchup is not classified at all.

Expected win rate combines both champions’ win rates in this lane (same games and filters) with the log5 formula: E = A(1−B) / (A(1−B) + B(1−A)). Matchup effect = observed − expected.

"What changes" compares Kennen's choices in this matchup with the same champion's other games in the same lane, and lists a change only when it is at least 3 points and statistically significant (two-proportion z-test, |z| ≥ 2, 20+ games).

Results are not split by rank: the sample per rank is too small for honest per-rank matchup numbers.

Best Kennen Build vs Darius

Usual Kennen build (Top)

73.7% win rate · 19 games

Against Darius

Not enough matchup-specific build data: only 12 of 47 Kennen games against Darius carried a complete build, which is too few to recommend an item path from. Use Kennen's standard build instead.

  • Kennen usually completes Hextech Rocketbelt first, at 11.6 min (median of 52 games).
  • Darius usually completes Youmuu's Ghostblade first, at 13.4 min (median of 51 games).
  • Skill priority: Q > W > E — the same as usual.

Builds are ranked by the lower edge of their win rate range, not the raw win rate, so a build seen in a handful of wins never outranks a proven one.
