Farming
3.7Nautilus
4.3Kennen

Damage
473Nautilus
729Kennen
Kennen heavily out-damages Nautilus by 256 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Nautilus should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Kennen's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
10,022Nautilus
12,522Kennen
Kennen generates a commanding 2,500 more gold per game than Nautilus. This substantial economic advantage means Kennen consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game. Nautilus should focus on cost-effective item choices and avoid unnecessary deaths to prevent falling further behind.
Utility
1.9Nautilus
1.1Kennen
Nautilus brings significantly more crowd control than Kennen, with 0.8 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Nautilus far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights. Kennen should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
1,580Nautilus
787Kennen
Nautilus vastly out-sustains Kennen, healing and mitigating 793 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Nautilus can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Kennen is forced to recall. Building grievous wounds early is essential for Kennen, and focusing on burst trade patterns rather than sustained fights is critical.
