Learn how to Kennen counter with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Disengage immediately when you have 2 stacks of Mark of the Storm — Kennen's third stack will stun you for 1.25 seconds, enabling him to land his full combo with little counterplay.
Basic Lane Phase Skirmish
Engage when Kennen's E (Lightning Rush) is on cooldown — this is his only mobility spell with a long cooldown (10-6 seconds), leaving him vulnerable to all-ins without an escape.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Push waves aggressively during early game — Kennen lacks strong waveclear, allowing you to gain priority, roam, or secure tower plates while he struggles to respond.
Lane Phase
In teamfights, spread out from teammates when Kennen approaches — his ultimate affects a medium area (550 units), and spreading denies him multi-target value.
Team Fight
Position behind minions during lane to block his Q (Thundering Shuriken) — it only hits the first target, preventing him from easily applying stacks of his passive from range.
Basic Lane Phase
Maintain vision in flanking paths during mid to late game — Kennen excels at surprise engages with E+R from fog of war, and vision gives you crucial reaction time.
Advanced Late Game Team Fight
When Kennen activates his ultimate (Slicing Maelstrom), you'll see a electrical storm surrounding him that lasts 3 seconds — this is your cue to immediately disengage.
Basic Team Fight Skirmish
Fight Kennen in open spaces rather than confined areas like jungle paths or river — his ultimate is significantly less effective when you have room to spread out and retreat.
