Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 to Kennen's superior range and poke, but can win trades if you successfully land E to gap close.
- Post-6 you gain significant kill pressure with R execute, especially if Kennen uses E aggressively or gets caught in your combo.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is landing E to flip Kennen, then immediately Q-W for maximum damage while he's slowed and in range.
- If you miss E, don't chase as Kennen will kite you with Q poke and movement speed.
Wave Control
- You should focus on farming safely and looking for opportunities when Kennen steps too far forward or wastes E.
- Consider freezing the wave near your tower to force Kennen to overextend for CS, making him vulnerable to your E engage.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste E trying to engage when Kennen has his E available, as he can easily dodge your flip and punish with free poke.
- Avoid chasing extended trades in the open lane where Kennen can kite you effectively with his range advantage.
