Who Wins
- You lose levels 1-3 heavily due to Kennen's range advantage and your inability to trade back effectively without taking significant poke damage.
- At level 6, you gain kill pressure if you can land Q-W-R combo, but Kennen can still kite you effectively with his ultimate.
How to Trade
- You should focus on farming safely with Q to last hit minions from range and only trade when Kennen steps too close or wastes his escape abilities.
- When you do engage, you must commit fully with Q-W-E-R combo as half-hearted trades will always favor Kennen.
Wave Control
- You want to push waves quickly with your abilities and recall frequently to avoid extended laning phases where Kennen can poke you down.
- Focus on clearing waves efficiently rather than trying to freeze, as staying in lane too long gives Kennen free damage.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You cannot afford to miss your Q knockup when going for trades, as it's your only reliable engage tool and missing it leaves you completely exposed.
- Don't try to farm melee minions when Kennen has his passive stacks ready, as he can easily proc thunderlords and chunk your health.
