Kennen Tips

MetaBot Tips
  • Kennen has a greater attack range than most champions. Take advantage of this by poking with autos at max range whenever you get the chance, and back off to maintain that max range distance to maximize trades.
  • Kennen has more mana regen than most champions, making their playstyle optimal for aggressive trades in lane.
  • Kennen has a low base attack speed, which can make last hitting in the early game more challenging. It can also make percentage attack speed items scale less effectively than they do on other champions.

Playing Kennen

  • You can stun your opponents by inflicting 3 Marks of the Storm upon them.
  • Lightning Rush can be used to initiate fights with its Energy return component, allowing him to use other abilities afterward.
  • You can land an initial Mark of the Storm debuff on an opponent with Thundering Shuriken, and then add to it with Electrical Surge.

Playing Against Kennen

  • Consider playing a bit more cautiously around Kennen when you have a Mark of the Storm debuff. If he hits you with 3 Marks of the Storm, you will get stunned.
  • Kennen is flimsy by nature - turn and attack him if he gets careless with Lightning Rush.
