Key takeaways
- Current data slightly favors Malphite, but the sample is too limited for a strong conclusion: Kennen wins 47.9% of 140 games (95% range 39.8–56.1%).
- 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 249, within the margin of error (63 games).
- Kennen players pick Grisly Mementos much less often against Malphite: 59.7% of their other Top games, 40.6% 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 Malphite 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 Malphite
Usual Kennen build (Top)
73.7% win rate · 19 games
Against Malphite
Not enough matchup-specific build data: only 7 of 28 Kennen games against Malphite 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 11.9 min (median of 31 games).
- Malphite usually completes Hollow Radiance first, at 13.4 min (median of 23 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.
