Who Wins
- You lose levels 1-3 heavily due to Kennen's range advantage and ability to poke you freely while you farm with Q.
- At level 6, you still struggle as Kennen's R can kite you effectively even through your W slow.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to use W when Kennen steps up for poke, then run at him with Ghost if available - most trades will be unfavorable so focus on short exchanges.
- Wait for Kennen to waste his E dash, then look for an all-in with W-Q combo when his escape is down.
Wave Control
- You want to freeze the wave near your tower early to farm safely with Q and avoid Kennen's poke in the long lane.
- Push hard only when Kennen recalls or roams, as you need to minimize time spent in his harassment range.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't chase Kennen through minions early game as his Q poke and auto-attacks will chunk you while you take minion damage.
- Avoid using W reactively after he's already created distance - use it proactively when he steps forward to maximize your engage potential.
