Kennen Matchups Overview
Kennen General information
Kennen tips and tricks
If the enemy has lots of disengage or peel, be prepared to flank from the side in team fights to make full use of your Ultimate R.
Kennen is one of the few champions that can be built AP or on hit. Take a look at what damage your team needs and build accordingly.
Your early game is not exactly strong. Avoid falling behind in the early game by not letting the enemy Mid laner bully you down and poke you with their abilities.
