Tips Against Kennen in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

CurSteel says “My permaban I hate this guy. Only way to play is rushing mercs but it is so shit on you since you are an ad scaling champion and need ad components to be useful, so first 10 minutes of the lane are just suffering and then maybe playable, but every decent kennen will have a relevant lead at that point. Not unwinnable, but extremely annoying.”
vitanked says “Because Ornn wants to build early armor, Kennen is a hard counter.”

Azzin says “Pretty similar to the gnar matchup, but he's a bit weaker overall.”
ExiledRain says “Power level: Early game is hard and with items/level you can handle him but he would still have tools to get away, but his main focus would be R in fights and not 1v1 a Riven. Game plan: As any other ranged lane you can go 2 ways: 1.Proxy level 1-3 by farmin first 3-4 waves depending on movements of Jungler and Laner, and be ready to execute yourself as at this rate its faster and more secure. 2.Try to get to level 3 not losing much health Kennen have few points he playing from: 1.He stacks passive then his Shuriken is covered with lightning, he would want to then AA you and pres W then walk away 2.Hit you with Q 3.If you engage him he would E away while stunning you and then will kite you On level 1-2 you can look for his missteps and try poking him down but in generall sense they wont allow you to do so, and you would need to just get levels. Try to look for proxy/roam angle as laning against him is not often fruitful Tips: To get stun, Kennen needs to proc 3 passives, breifly keeping track of passives might be helpfull.To add proc he needs to His abilities. E cooldown is decent so you can bait him to use it , then strike before it comes back online. Itemization: Early Merc might help as he will trigger stun quite often.”

asuratop1 says “DODGE/BAN Não dá pra ganhar, bane essa porra. O único cenário que o Jax tem vantagem sobre o Kennen, é mid/late game, mas a lane phase é IMPOSSÍVEL, repito, IMPOSSÍVEL. No competitivo, o time do Jax é obrigado a fazer um swap favorável pro Jax pensando em deixar o Kennen atras em farm/xp, mas como na soloqueue é quase impossível de acontecer um Swap, bane Kennen. Ainda existem chances em qualquer Lane de dificuldade extrema, Kennen não, você vai ficar atrás o jogo todo. Obs: Kennen cria existência no Mestre+, antes disso, acho que é jogar um Ban fora, fora que, se o Kennen for MUITO MUITO MUITO ruim, ele não vai saber punir o Jax e vai tomar outscaling rápido. Resumindo, no low elo é uma matchup viável mas rara, no Mestre+/High Elo, não. É impossível.”
zwartebliksem says “Probably the only ranged matchup that will come purely come down to skill. Kennen has very low on-hit damage, making 95% of his damage come from his skillshots. There's 2 ways for Kennen to deal with your Q charge, either he stuns you in time or he uses his E to get out. Both of these methods are not reliable. Try to stay in the wave as much as possible, since this is the safest place to be. Once you get zoned off, he can very easily poke you down with his Q + W. You cannot zone him as easily, but you can definitely outscale him.”

m0rzan says “One of the hardest matchups for Jax, reason being even though u outscale him the matchup is very difficult without jng attention if he is good at the game, what u want to do lvl 1 is q on him and try to fight him as much as u can so you're both somewhat same hp cose him being lower is scarier than u being low in the first 3-4 levels, if you don't manage to do that the trade patterns are basically if he ever wastes q you can jump on him to short trade cose he can't stun u bcs he doesn't have an ability for the 3rd stack. He wins all in still u get some MR. You need grasp in this lane and mercs rush.”

ValfyNico says “Try manage wave, you have chance to kill him if he overcommit, dodge his poke, dont trade if you got his passive stacks. 8.0/10 💀”
[S15] Darius low elo Guide 🪓 by ValfyNico | Darius Player
forsakn says “ Levels 1–5: Kennen’s early poke with Q (Thundering Shuriken) and E (Electrical Surge) can be annoying, but he’s weak in short trades. Avoid standing near minions to reduce damage from his passive procs. Wave control: He pushes moderately with Q. Let him shove while you farm safely under tower. Trading: Auto + E poke works well. Short trades are safest, and use Q + W to disengage if he tries to all-in. Post-6: His R (Slicing Maelstrom) gives AoE stun potential. Maintain spacing and don’t clump near him. Summoner Spells: Flash + Teleport is standard. Ignite can be used for early kill pressure if needed. Scaling: You outscale Kennen mid-late game. Farm safely, avoid poke, and your sustained damage overtakes him. Kennen top is poke-heavy but weak alone. Respect his W + R combos, farm safely, and by midgame you outclass him.”
Hoikatop says “Rush negatron cloak vs AP kennen. You can slow push and crash 1st 2 waves into a 3rd wave proxy and execute. Focus on farming up for teamfights because it's very hard to solo kill kennen unless he uses E on the wave, while pushing up to your turret, and you have a summoner. You can make yourself very hard for him to kill with MR rushing but in general this is a hard matchup that's kennen favored.”

Tips Against Kennen in Mid Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

Spaceturtlez says “Squishy, but its a ranged champion with a stun. Overall annoying as fk pre-6. Post-6 his ult is better, but you always can burst him if he has no hourglass. 0/0/0 Kennen means you've won at level 7. Standard runes + Ignite”
Soft Headpats says “> An uncommon matchup, but it can be a dangerous one if the Kennen is running [[Electrocute]] and [[Ignite]]. He'll look to stack up his [[Electrical Surge]] (W) with AAs for a guaranteed stack on you, letting him activate it with W again for 2 stacks of his [[Mark of the Storm]] passive. If you get hit by his [[Thundering Shuriken]] (Q) or [[Lightning Rush]] (E), it'll stun you and proc [[Electrocute]], letting him get extra AAs off to chunk you for massive damage. If he manages to get in range and hit you with E, it'll guarantee his Q. > If he goes for this trade, make sure you're retaliating with your own combos to make the trade as even as possible. > It is crucial that you keep track of his W stacks and positioning so that you don't get hit by this combo. If he lands 1–2 full combos on you, you're already in kill range depending on your HP, and a good Kennen will try to [[Flash]] on you for the kill. > Kennen's E refunds a bit of energy for him if he hits anything with it while also marking targets hit for his [[Mark of the Storm]]. He'll look to E through the wave while stacking his W for trades, letting him trade while also damaging the wave. > The first few levels before your first back will be dangerous if he runs this setup, but afterward it gets much easier since you'll have better waveclear and range. If he's running [[Teleport]] and a different Keystone, he won't have nearly the same level of kill pressure in lane, but will still look for similar trades. > You should look to get early prio on the wave and hit level 2 first so that you can harass him before he gets a chance to pressure you. > Outside of lane, Kennen will be looking to get flanks off to land his [[Slicing Maelstrom]] (R). Be prepared to stop his engage with [color=#8E44AD]EQ[/color] or [color=#8E44AD]EW[/color], or if he gets onto you or your team, a [color=#16c5bc]WW[/color] to absorb the damage. Similar to champs like [[Annie]] or [[Malzahar]] who rely on big [[Flash]] plays, you'll want to diligently keep track of his [[Flash]] CD. > He often builds [[Hextech Rocketbelt]] and [[Zhonya's Hourglass]] for better mobility and survivability respectively. If he does, it might be wise to opt for items like [[Liandry's Torment]] to boost your own HP while burning through his increased HP.

Kolashiu says “Can push : yes Can play agressive : no Can solokill : yes Gameplan : Roam Bad matchup, try to flip bubble when hes casting Q, aside from that you can't do much he has more range more damage more mobility. If you hit bubble he's dead tho. Be really careful after his 6, even more after protobelt, his engage range with his move speed burst and protobelt is just absurd. He oneshot you with R from first item til the end of the game so you just avoid interactions that aren't fully safe. Keep in mind that he is EXTREMELY squishy, one bubble = he is dead. It's just that with his damage and mobility if he's not too bad it's hard You want to push and roam if you manage to, punish with bubble if he try to prevent it, jungler can help you if he plays too agressive.”

step1v9 says “Hard matchup but winnable if Kennen is a bad player. Look for E+auto and later E+auto+tiamat trades to chip away and set up all-ins. Be aware his E gives him an AS buff after it expires, so try not to auto trade with him there. He will use his W to trade you so just back off when it's active.”

Tofu Dubu says “- Kennen top is a pain in the ass, but Kennen mid is even more powerful, the lane is really small so he can E out really easily. - he has good poke, but not insane wave clear, i would advise to go tenacity boot + maw into Titanic (for wave clear and auto reset) - Go conq maw or grasp + roa/hydra/muramana/BC”
Mid Zhao | The versatile monster (in-depth Notes) by Tofu Dubu | Xin Zhao Player
KomariLoL says “Annoying matchup because of his movement speed from E and his stuns. If you can avoid getting stunned, you can get a good trade. If his E is ever down he has no escape, so he has respect you. If he doesn't you can easily get a good trade. Wind Walling/dodging his Q is key in this matchup because it's his main damage source. Taking exhaust is fine if you struggle against this matchup.”

BesXbola says “Kennen may poke you with his Q but besides that its a very tranquil lane, do not fight 2v2 or 3v3 skirmishes because just kennen's ult alone has more value than your entire kit. If he manages to stun you post 6 you die.”
Cepatrol says “very easy matchup, respect his stun when trading and you'll out trade out sustain and just oneshot his rat ass”

BrMario1011 says “big damage and funny cc, dodge his shurikens and dont get baited by his level 6, his speed is actually enough to get out of ur w if hes fast enough just pretty annoying tbh”
