How to Counter Kennen

Kennen's Ult does massive AoE damage with a hard stun. He excels in teamfights and makes it challenging to fight in close spaces, such as around. Baron and Dragon. Kennen counters burst champions susceptible to CC.

Try not to clump up during teamfights because Kennen can get your entire team in the Slicing Maelstrom AOE if he gets into the middle.

Kennen is fairly squishy and can be burst down quickly.

Kennen's weakness lies in his early game - he's quite squishy and can be taken down easily. Gradually poking him down forces him out of the lane, and when his E is down, he is an easy gank target. So, aim to dominate early, harass him constantly, and work closely with your Jungler for successful ganks.

Wave management techniques can be a game-changer against Kennen. By utilizing such strategies, you can bait him, making him a more accessible target for kills, especially when he is pushed up.

A vision-controlled game could be your best bet against Kennen, as he relies heavily on flanks for team fight wins. Secure proper vision to prevent him from penetrating your backline and causing massive damage.

Kennen tends to be a lane bully that wins melee matchups with ease. Scouting for potential flanks and positioning yourself wisely can turn the tide of the match, even when you are against the ropes.

It's important not to underestimate Kennen's damage potential, which can significantly grow over time. His ultimate ability can deal widespread damage, so try to delay team fights while you wait for his Ultimate R to recharge. To stay ahead of Kennen, focus on farming and scaling, maintaining an early lead and ensuring your own progress in gold and XP.
