Kennen
Champions that beat Kennen
- Camilletop
Hookshot (E) second cast roots Kennen out of position while Slicing Maelstrom (R) keeps ticking, so the storm lands on nobody. Tactical Sweep (W) heal sustains Camille through Mark of the Storm (P) burst, and The Hextech Ultimatum (R) traps him in 1v1.
- Gragastop
Drunken Rage (W) damage reduction soaks the Thundering Shuriken (Q) plus Lightning Rush (E) stun-burst combo; Body Slam (E) stun cancels Slicing Maelstrom (R) channel mid-cast. Without a dash escape Kennen eats Explosive Cask (R) on the back-step.
- Lilliajungle
Blooming Blows (Q) chunks Kennen outside auto range, and Swirlseed (E) pokes on Lightning Rush (E) cooldown. Lilting Lullaby (R) has 1600 range, not global, and sleeps him if Dream Dust landed — it doesn't cancel Slicing Maelstrom (R), but the sleep knocks him out of position.
- Nasustop
Wither (W) cripples both Move Speed and Attack Speed — exactly the stats Lightning Rush (E) repositioning and Mark of the Storm (P) stun-stack auto cadence rely on. Once Wither (W) hits, Kennen cannot kite Siphoning Strike (Q) range and Slicing Maelstrom (R) channels stationary.
- Pantheonsupport
Shield Vault (W) stuns him out of position the instant he lands, and while Slicing Maelstrom (R) keeps ticking, a Kennen stuck 600 units away hits nobody with it. Comet Spear (Q) chunks him outside auto range, and Aegis Assault (E) blocks Electrical Surge (W).
- Siontop
Glory in Death (P) zombie state lets Sion fight Kennen after death — Mark of the Storm (P) 3-stack stun still hits but Soul Furnace (W) shield absorbs the W detonate. Decimating Smash (Q) charge stuns Kennen out of position before Slicing Maelstrom (R) can tick on anyone.
- Vladimirtop
Thundering Shuriken (Q) actually outranges Tides of Blood (E) (950 versus 600), but Vladimir heals back every Transfusion (Q) trade. Sanguine Pool (W) untargetability dodges the Slicing Maelstrom (R) stun frames, and the Hemoplague (R) amp turns any post-6 all-in into a kill.
Champions Kennen beats
- Aatroxtop
Thundering Shuriken (Q) and Electrical Surge (W) stack Mark of the Storm (P) from outside Q edge range; Lightning Rush (E) kites the Q3 windup and a Mark stun during World Ender (R) denies the takedown that would extend its duration.
- Briarjungle
Mark of the Storm (P) stacks its stun through Briar's Frenzy auto-attacks, Slicing Maelstrom (R) chains AOE crowd control while she chases him, and Lightning Rush (E) moves Kennen out of Head Rush (Q). Briar cannot self-cancel with Chilling Scream (E) in time to break the combo.
- Dariustop
Apprehend (E) pull is dodged by Lightning Rush (E) dash, and Decimate (Q) outer ring is sidestepped by Kennen's mobility. Mark of the Storm (P) stun interrupts Noxian Guillotine (R) execute mid-windup, and Hemorrhage (P) bleed cannot stack on a kiting Kennen.
- Garentop
Decisive Strike (Q) is a self-buff, so the silence only lands at Garen's 175 range — Kennen's 550-range autos and Thundering Shuriken (Q) chip him from outside it. Lightning Rush (E) dashes through the Judgment (E) spin, and three Mark of the Storm (P) stacks cut it short.
- Jaxtop
Thundering Shuriken (Q) and Electrical Surge (W) stack Mark of the Storm passive from outside Leap Strike range, and Lightning Rush (E) disengages out of the recast stun. Slicing Maelstrom (R) AOE stun deletes Jax mid-trade before Wit's End comes online.
- Jaycetop
Electrical Surge (W) and Thundering Shuriken (Q) out-range Cannon Q poke from level 1, and Lightning Rush (E) disengages out of any Hammer commit window. Slicing Maelstrom (R) AOE stun chains Mark of the Storm (P) for a finisher Jayce cannot escape.
- Malphitetop
Kennen pokes from outside Malphite's auto-attack range and Lightning Rush (E) disengages Unstoppable Force (R) dash with Move Speed. Thundering Shuriken (Q) outranges Seismic Shard (Q) and Slicing Maelstrom (R) stuns Malphite mid-Ground Slam (E) cast.
- Neekotop
Thundering Shuriken (Q) outranges Blooming Burst (Q) and Lightning Rush (E) repositions out of Pop Blossom (R) range. Mark of the Storm (P) stuns on the third mark, which arrives fast enough to cancel her R wind-up.
- Ornntop
Kennen's Thundering Shuriken (Q) pokes from 950 range, outside Volcanic Rupture (Q). Electrical Surge (W) adds a mark, and the third mark from any of his abilities stuns Ornn out of the Searing Charge commit.
- Poppytop
Thundering Shuriken pokes from 950 range against a 475 Heroic Charge, and Lightning Rush gives 100% Move Speed to leave before Poppy closes. He stays targetable throughout, so what beats her here is distance and not immunity.
- Quinntop
Kennen's Slicing Maelstrom AoE stuns Quinn on R landing, cancelling her Behind Enemy Lines ult commit before she can burst. Lightning Rush phase-walks through Quinn's Vault retreat path, and Thundering Shuriken pokes her at long range outside Harrier auto proc setup.
- Setttop
Knuckle Down (Q) lands at Sett's 125 range only; Facebreaker (E) point-blank — Kennen pokes Sett with Thundering Shuriken (Q) before he can fill the Haymaker (W) grit bar. Lightning Rush (E) kites Sett's commit and Mark of the Storm (P) stun cancels The Show Stopper (R) channel.
- Shentop
Lightning Rush (E) walks through Shadow Dash (E) energized form and Mark of the Storm passive plus Slicing Maelstrom (R) AOE stuns Shen during the Stand United (R) channel arrival. Thundering Shuriken (Q) pokes from outside the Q-auto range every wave.
- Tahm Kenchtop
Kennen's Lightning Rush E phases him through Tahm to apply Mark of the Storm from inside the wave, and Electrical Surge W adds another mark every few attacks plus one on activation, so the third mark stuns Tahm in melee while Kennen Rush-exits.
- Trundletop
Kennen stuns after three Mark of the Storm stacks, built by Thundering Shuriken (Q) without ever entering Chomp (Q) range. Lightning Rush (E) carries him past a Pillar of Ice (E), and Slicing Maelstrom (R) stuns Trundle again before the first stun wears off.
- Tryndameretop
Tryndamere has no CC outside Mocking Shout (W) — he cannot lock Kennen down to prevent Slicing Maelstrom (R) channel. Spinning Slash (E) closes the gap once but Lightning Rush (E) plus Electrical Surge (W) on-hit stuns him before Undying Rage (R) windows ramp.
- Udyrtop
Thundering Shuriken (Q) and Electrical Surge (W) stack Mark of the Storm passive from outside Udyr's melee range, so three stacks land a free stun before E Blazing Stampede closes the gap. Lightning Rush (E) then disengages through Wingborne Storm (R) area.
- Wukongtop
Kennen Thundering Shuriken (Q) and Electrical Surge (W) poke Wukong from outside Nimbus Strike (E) range, and Lightning Rush (E) escapes Cyclone (R) area before knock-up resolves.
- Yoricktop
Mourning Mist (E) is Yorick's only ranged threat — Kennen kites outside its 700 range with Thundering Shuriken (Q) poke. Eulogy of the Isles (R) Maiden cannot follow Lightning Rush (E) repositioning, and Mark of the Storm (P) stun cancels Yorick commits mid-Last Rites (Q) burst.
