So I was forced to lane against a kennen. Is there anyway for it to not suck? Even with my super irelia regen build i was getting harassed to the point of just wanting to altf4 out of the game and take the leave.


tl;dr

what should you aim for when laning against a solo kennen?

against kennen I try to be better at skill shots, not be near my creeps to force him to choose who to lightning, and hope that he lightning's creeps so that the lane pushes.

the only person I can beat kennen with is malphite, your best bet is to play aggressive early and hope he blows his summoner trying to kill you, then back and come to lane with a bunch of hp pots and one of two things will happen. 1 he'll harass you and you'll shrug it off and farm, or 2 he'll see that you have 63 health pots and not bother harassig you and you'll both just farm. I also like to push the lane against kennen and back frequently to buy MR. At level 10 irelia can beat kennen if kennen doesn't have his giants belt

You can actually fight kennen with Irelia I think, not sure never really laned against Irelia.

But as long as you keep your farm at a decent lvl and get your mercury threads as first item you should be relatively "fine".

Kennen's my main. The best champs against him are those that can sit in creeps and hit him. Kass is OK, but only once he hits level 5 or so and his Q is mana efficient. Same with Malph. Corki's Q is another good skill against Kennen, and gatling gun let's Corki win the toe-to-toe fights. Anivia is sorta a draw. Vlad is good, but only at level 7 or 9, earlier on he has to be really careful (this matchup is usually a draw in my experience). You can even do ok with someone like Ashe if you're really, really good, by sitting in creeps to block shurikens and using autoattacks. But the best you're getting in that case is probably, again, a draw (and depending on items/summoners, Ashe/Trist/Sivir may just autolose to Ken).

Wasn't the conclusion from the discussion in the old thread that Nidalee also wins lane against Kennen?

wat? I don't think so. Might take longer to farm up Rylai's => Deathcap => Zhonya's instead of just Rylai's => Zhonya's but he's still strong as fuck. If anything, if Kennen gets enough farm to hit his trifecta, he's even more ghey than before.

Without zhonyas, he's really vulnerable in fights. That's huge. Kennen needs to get into psuedo melee range to really do dmg. Zhonyas allowed him to get there and stay there for the duration of his ult. Now, he's super vulnerable.

If you feel that the invul active is that necessary for Kennen, go Rylai's => Zhonya's => Deathcap. But I still think Kennen's ulti is so ridiculous that you can stun, if not kill, most of your enemies before they can redirect their focus on you. Don't initiate with Kennen too aggressively. Run in first maybe, but make sure your tank is closely behind to CC the enemy off you after your ulti is more or less done. But for the most part, I think E + Ghost in, Ulti, Flash out and you're good as gold.

To be fair, I think he's weaker relative to other AP casters than he was before. Old Zhonya was better for Kennen because of the fact that he got more utility out of the Zhonya active than lots of other casters did. Deathcap is good for him but that's because Deathcap is just plain ridiculous--it's not better for him than other casters in the way Zhonya's was.

That new judging thing should be interesting. As someone pointed out (Mogwai I think?) could be a great way to kill time in Q. Dunno y but doing a couple of these while waiting for a Q to pop just seems like a great idea.

That LoL plugin looks cool, dunno that it'd change much. But it's a neat idea.
