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?


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


Malphite dominates kennen in lane. All you have to do is not waste mana and play passive until level 5. After that you start hitting with q and denying him so you reach lvl 6 before him. Then you either go for the finisher or he backs, which in turn you push the lane, tp back yourself, and get your items, making sure to get some mana pots. After you are in lane again immediately do your ult combo on him. The point is not to kill him but to make it possible that he can no longer lane against you. From there you deny him and you win the lane pretty fucking hard. However you need to run the runepage I do or else this might not work, it might but not as well.



Sorry shiroi the first part of that was just saying I can beat Ken with malph, the second was how to play against Ken as irelia

Fuck this game. Seriously.

Elo hell doesn't exist? My ass... just played TF and:

Our Nunu disconnects, then he comes back 10 min later or so, just in time to dodge the leaver mark. When he came back in he said "lag" and he stayed at the fountain. Did I mention, that he'd only cast his ult after I stunned someone? What's the fucking point, this guy is dead anyway.

Our Xin. NEVER. NEVER. Never fought with us. But he'd regularly charge 1v5 and die. Then die again, cause he had Guardian Angel.

Our Vlad did exactly the same, except that it's vlad and he had Hourglass, so he died a bit less... No, actually, looking at the score screen, he somehow managed to die even more. Fuck me sideways.

Kassadin was 4/16 at the end.

No amount of typing or anything would get Xin and Vlad to cooperate. Nothing. We warded, etc, blabla, but eventually the other team became too fed for me to kill them and they just walked us over. Fuck this game, it is not worth my time dealing with this shit.

Nikon:

Elo hell is defined by who your teammates are and quite simply if you belong at a higher Elo or not. It's a yes or no question so there will be 2 answers.

10 random people are put together in a game in 2 random teams. Lets say that 8 of these people suck, that means 2 of them will determine the game. If you think you are one of these 2 people then your team is guaranteed to at least be even as far as # of feeders go. Furthermore, there is a 45% chance that you'll also get the other good player on your team and completely own the other guys.

If this is what happens to you, then you belong in higher Elo. You will win 45% of the games no problem and will have to carry the other 65% winning about 50% of them or 32%. Total win percentage of 77%.

If this DOESN'T happen to you then you do not belong in a higher Elo.

Notice that there is no room between these two for Elo hell to exist, because IT DOES NOT.

Let's say that I'm secretly a super-god es #1 2700 ELO in BR and I just have to grind it out. That's understandable, but it's also not the point. The point is that I don't want to play these shit games. I mean, there are ranking games so that this wouldn't happen, right? Wrong, apparently. It's a wild crapshoot whether or not you'd get decent teammates, more often you don't... I don't know if most of you guys find carrying 4 retards fun - if you do, good for you. But I absolutely do not want to play games where I'm in that position. Regardless of whether I win or lose them. It puts me on a sick tilt, and generally ruins the enjoyability of the game.

Don't know if I managed to convey my feelings on the matter clearly, but for what it's worth, here it is.

So add the few people you feel are good to your friendslist and start playing arranged with them, then you will atleast not have your team to blame.

You have to realize that's what solo queue does to you. If you don't enjoy it, then don't play it. For me, even winning in solo queue puts a bad taste in my mouth, so I avoid it. Don't play it if you don't enjoy it. Go troll more normals with TL.

There are others. Nidalee is a draw if she's careful. Cho is a draw if he's even half competent (though he can pretty much never, ever win vs. Kennen). Panth is like a hard counter to Kennen.

He's a strong laner, yes. Some champs he'll just wreck. But he's not unstoppable.
