Learn how to play with Kennen with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
When Kennen activates his R, immediately follow up with your own damage or crowd control — the storm's lightning bolts strike every half second and apply his passive stacks quickly, stunning everyone caught inside within the first second or two.
Team Fight
Watch for Kennen disappearing from vision before a fight — he often saves Flash to close distance and land a surprise R, so be ready to capitalize on the stun the instant it lands rather than waiting for a telegraphed engage.
Team Fight
Ward the side brushes near objectives and likely fight locations — Kennen depends on flanking to land his R on multiple targets, and denying that vision removes his best engage angle.
Team Fight
Kennen's R has a very long cooldown of 120 seconds at every rank — while it's down, expect him to split push top rather than group, so avoid forcing a full team fight until his ultimate is back up.
Team Fight Late Game
Track Mark of the Storm stacks on enemies (small marks above their health bar) — the third stack stuns for about a second, or half that if repeated within 6 seconds, so hold your own crowd control until right after that stun ends to maximize total lockdown.
Advanced Team Fight Skirmish
Look for a top-lane gank once Kennen hits level 6 — his R gives him strong area stun potential from just outside brush range, making it much easier to lock down the enemy laner for a kill.
Basic Lane Phase Skirmish
Kennen's E is his only mobility and has a long cooldown early — if he dives in with E to start a fight, be ready to peel or protect him afterward since he loses his escape option once it's down.
