Kennen
Champions that beat Kennen
- Camilletop
Hookshot (E) second cast roots Kennen and cancels Slicing Maelstrom (R) channel mid-cast — the AOE stun setup is lost. 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 from outside auto range and Swirlseed (E) poke lands during Lightning Rush (E) cooldown. Watch Out! Eep! (W) chip damages every wave clear, and Lilting Lullaby (R) sleep cancels Slicing Maelstrom (R) channel cross-map.
- 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) stun cancels Slicing Maelstrom (R) channel mid-cast — Kennen loses the AOE stun setup before any Mark of the Storm (P) stack lands. Comet Spear (Q) chunks him outside auto range, and Aegis Assault (E) tanks Electrical Surge (W) on-hit burst.
- 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 Slicing Maelstrom (R) channel before stacks land.
- Vladimirtop
Vladimir out-ranges Thundering Shuriken (Q) with Tides of Blood (E) for the first 6 levels and heals every Transfusion (Q) trade. Sanguine Pool (W) untargetability dodges Slicing Maelstrom (R) stun frames, and Hemoplague (R) amp turns any 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) prevents the takedown that would trigger his revive.
- Briarjungle
Mark of the Storm (P) triple stun procs through Frenzy auto-attacks, Slicing Maelstrom (R) AOE chains CC during her chase, and Lightning Rush (E) repositions out of Head Rush (Q). Briar cannot interrupt his combo with self-cancel E in time.
- 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) silence caps at 600 range — Kennen's 550 auto-attack range plus Thundering Shuriken (Q) poke chip Garen out of his range entirely. Lightning Rush (E) reset on champion hit kites his Judgment (E) spin,
- 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) AOE cast. Mark of the Storm (P) four-stack stun chains through Shapesplitter (W) clone bait reveal and Slicing Maelstrom (R) channels from outside her engage.
- Ornntop
Kennen's Thundering Shuriken pokes Ornn from outside Volcanic Rupture's 800 cast range every few seconds, scaling past Doran's Shield regen. Electrical Surge stack detonation roots Ornn out of Searing Charge into Brittle commit,
- Poppytop
Kennen's Lightning Rush phase-walks through Poppy's Heroic Charge entirely as he passes through her hitbox without being targeted. Thundering Shuriken pokes from outside 475 E commit range every few seconds,
- 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) caps at 425 range and Facebreaker (E) is 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 stacks from inside the wave, the third stack stuns Tahm in melee while Kennen Rush-exits, and Electrical Surge W double-procs the stack on every auto.
- Trundletop
Kennen's Electrical Surge W stuns after 3 Mark of the Storm passive stacks, all stacked safely with Thundering Shuriken Q at 1100 range. Lightning Rush E phases him through Pillar of Ice E terrain block, Slicing Maelstrom R AOE-stuns Trundle a second time,
- 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 850 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.
