The Vex vs Kennen matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 6 recent matches analyzed, Vex wins with a 66.7% win rate compared to Kennen's 33.3%, giving Vex a 33.3 percentage point advantage.

Vex players can confidently pick into Kennen and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Kennen away from CS whenever possible.
