Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades through superior range and Q poke, but Kennen can all-in you if he lands E-W combo.
- Post-6 Kennen becomes significantly more dangerous as his R can bypass your W knockback and burst you down before you can escape.
How to Trade
- Look for Q poke when Kennen uses abilities on minions, then immediately back away to avoid his E engage.
- If he commits with E, use W to knock him away and follow up with full Q combo while he retreats.
Wave Control
- Push early levels to establish range advantage and roam timing, but be extremely careful about overextending past river.
- Kennen excels at punishing immobile champions who push without vision, so maintain deep wards and respect his all-in potential.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use W defensively unless Kennen is already committed to an all-in with E or R.
- Wasting W for minor trades leaves you completely vulnerable to his engage, and his mobility makes it easy to dodge if used predictively.
