Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to range disadvantage and lack of reliable gap close, but level 2-3 all-ins with Q-E can catch Kennen off guard.
- Post-6 you gain significant kill pressure with R engage, though his R can still turn fights if he positions well.
How to Trade
- Your best trading requires setting up Q stacks through minions, then using E or R to gap close when his E is down.
- Look for short burst trades with Q-auto-W rather than extended fights, since he can kite you effectively with his mobility.
Wave Control
- Focus on freezing near your tower to force him to overextend for CS, making him vulnerable to your gap close combos.
- Use Q through minions to farm safely and build stacks while looking for opportunities when he wastes abilities on wave.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't chase extended trades when he has E available, as he'll simply kite you out and win through sustained damage.
- Avoid fighting in large minion waves where he can easily proc his passive stuns, especially pre-6 when you lack reliable engage.
