How to beat Kennen

Common role: Top / Mid

A ranged energy mage who dashes in and stuns your whole team.

What makes Kennen dangerous

Kennen pokes with shurikens (Q), marks you with autos and abilities for a stun, dashes in with E for mobility and move speed, and unleashes an AoE storm ultimate that stuns everyone caught around him. In teamfights he flashes into your backline and locks it down.

How to play against Kennen

• 1Spread out for his ultimate — it only stuns those clustered around him.
• 2Don't let him land three marks; the third one stuns, so break the pattern.
• 3He runs on energy, not mana — bait his combo and punish the empty bar.
• 4He is squishy; armor doesn't help, so stack MR and burst him down.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Squishy — dies fast to burst or a focused dive.
• ✓Energy-limited: he can't spam forever, so bait his combo.
• ✓His stun needs three marks — deny one and it's delayed.
• ✓His ult range is short; spacing shuts it down.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Kennen's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  폭풍의 표식

  케넨의 스킬에 3번 적중당한 적은 기절합니다.

  Strong: three marks on a target trigger a stun that chains his combo. Weak: deny the third mark and there's no stun — count his procs.

• Q
  천둥의 표창

  케넨이 빠르게 날아가는 수리검을 날려 맞은 대상에게 피해를 입히고 폭풍의 표식을 남깁니다.

  Strong: a long-range shuriken that pokes and applies a mark. Weak: a slow, dodgeable skillshot — sidestep it to deny mark stacks.

• W
  전류 방출

  케넨이 기본 공격을 몇 번 하면 힘을 충전하여 다음 기본 공격 대상에게 폭풍의 표식을 남깁니다. 스킬 활성화시 이미 표식이 있는 대상에게 피해를 주며 또 다른 폭풍의 표식을 남길 수 있습니다.

  Strong: adds a mark on autos and empowers his poke on energy. Weak: energy-limited — bait him into spending it and punish the empty bar.

• E
  번개 질주

  케넨이 번개로 변신하여 유닛을 뚫고 지나가며 폭풍의 표식을 남깁니다. 번개로 변신하면 이동 속도가 증가하며, 원래 모습으로 돌아오면 공격 속도가 증가합니다.

  Strong: a dash with move speed that lets him weave in and out. Weak: it's his only escape — catch him when it's down.

• R
  날카로운 소용돌이

  케넨이 번개의 폭풍을 소환하여 근처 적 챔피언을 공격하고 마법 피해를 입힙니다.

  Strong: an AoE storm that repeatedly stuns everyone clustered near him. Weak: short radius — spread out and it stuns almost no one.

Itemization

Magic resist (Mercury's Treads, Kaenic Rookern) blunts his burst; armor is useless. Spread in fights and focus him before he flashes in.
