Who Wins
- You lose early trades heavily due to Kennen's range advantage and poke potential, but post-6 you can all-in him if you dodge his R or catch him without escape.
- Your E blocks his auto attacks but not his Q poke, making pre-6 quite difficult.
How to Trade
- Look for short trades using Q-W-E when Kennen wastes his E for waveclear or positioning, then immediately back off before he can proc his passive stun.
- Extended trades favor him due to his kiting potential and stun combo.
Wave Control
- Let the wave push toward you early and focus on farming safely, only looking to freeze when you have jungle pressure.
- Post-6, you can look to slow push and dive him with your jungler since he has limited escape options.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use Q aggressively without your E up, as Kennen can easily kite you to death and proc his stun passive.
- Avoid fighting in minion waves where his R can hit both you and minions for maximum damage.
