Kennen Strengths and Weaknesses

Where Kennen stands against every champion this patch, from ranked game stats per minute.

Strengths

  • Damage to buildings: better than 71% of champions

Weaknesses

  • Healing: below 73% of champions

Kennen ranks in the 76.0 percentile for early game strength, 50.0 percentile for late game scaling, 44.0 percentile for objective control, 60.0 percentile for support strength, 24.0 percentile for creep farming, and 68.0 percentile for damage output.

Kennen demonstrates unique performance characteristics, with win rates showing a 50.0% decrease from Iron to Master tiers. This pattern suggests that Kennen may be more accessible for newer players while facing increased difficulty against higher-skilled opponents. In Iron tier, Kennen achieves a 100.0% win rate, which gradually declines to 50.0% in Master. This trend often indicates that Kennen's strengths can be more effectively countered by experienced players who understand the champion's weaknesses and trading patterns. The declining performance (Iron (100.0%), Bronze (53.8%), Silver (58.8%), Gold (46.2%), Platinum (61.5%)) suggests that while Kennen can be effective in lower ranks where opponents may not exploit vulnerabilities, higher-tier players are better equipped to neutralize Kennen's advantages. However, this doesn't mean Kennen is unviable at higher ranks - rather, it requires more sophisticated strategies, better macro play, and careful matchup selection. Players at higher elos should focus on understanding when to pick Kennen, how to play around counters, and maximizing value in favorable matchups. Success with Kennen at higher levels demands strong game sense, positioning, and the ability to adapt playstyle based on team compositions and enemy picks.
