I like Rumble , Corki and Heimerdinger

In what situations Kennen would be better for carrying games????

I had my Udyr Top runes set and didn't change it bcs I was looking for my Uber Eats and it actually worked so I went back changed a few things and I think I got the best runes I could of possibely done. (I don't really know how runes works but I know how to read sooo)

It has now been over 3 years since Astronaut was released. What are you guys hoping for in a new skin? I'm hoping they will make Super Fan a skin but anything would be awesome at this point.

I have been running gunblade for most of my matches because the single target burst is pretty wild.

Mostly asking about first item, but is Yun Tal best option if i have BF back and kraken (high attack speed more kraken and on hit procs in general if i go on hit item) if i don't have it and then go full crit). Enchanters are def his best pairing, right? I felt pretty strong and can 1v9 in games but I was insanely ahead and had enchanter. Runes u use, do u go PTA or lethal?

Why does kennen have less base ad than yuumi while also having incredibly low base health. His abilities don’t do crazy high amounts of damage comparative to a modern champion design and he still has energy. Not to mention he gets outranged by some melee champions in the top lane he seems to be in an incredibly bad position

Not a Kennen main, but I have dabbled into Kennen Support a good amount. The idea was to just be an ult bot in mid and late game. Since you are supp, you are bound by ways and can spend a good amount of time looking for flank angles.

Is it at all viable? What's your rune/item setup? When I played this a year ago I was on First Strike Hexflash with domination secondary, but surely that's not optimal, just fun.

Hey everyone! New member on this sub-reddit, so hope im doing everything while sharing this!

(* Edit: Ty to all for the positive feedback. I'll try to react to every comment/question in a timely manner. On the question for guides: please, make sure to check some kennen creators online on youtube, as they are probably way more educated on the matter as i am. Im likely to be able to make my own guide when summer holidays start on a guidesite like mobafire (lets not put a 31 year old boomer with no experience on tubing/editing in front of a camera XD), but for now, you have to deal with the post as it is here now, and the answers im able to give you in the comment section!)

About last midnight, i reached something i long felt impossible for me to reach: Master rank. I've hit diamond some seasons before (season 9/10), but i always thought D4/D3 was my peak. Diamond was always for me the end-goal when playing league , and after i reached it again early in the season, i already felt like: ''this is it'', nice run, just enjoy yourself from here. Especially as a 30+Y/O from Europe-West. Certified *Boomer* age !

I don't know exactly when i decided to really go for it, but after reaching d4 last november ( and primarly playing aram mayhem for months, with the occasional decay game), it all started to click around this april: i was stuck in D3, but I decided to play a little more seriously: Play my main, and main only when possible, and just go from there. And somehow i kept winning, playing a few games a day, and steadily rising in LP. Got a lot of luck numerous of times, and i've literally won games when i was going 0/8 out of lane, but somehow, i kept winning more than losing. And now we are here! Still far off from ever reaching gm, but im totally content with what i've reached for now.

I'm well aware of my own limitations, which i will also adress in the following paragraphs, but here are some things that worked for me climbing, as well as some major things i need to improve on, if i ever would decide to try to make the jump towards gm.

Things i did, that differ from other players, that maybe helps you find success climbing in a different way (ofc, this is not foul proof, different players have different preferences)

• Summoners: I play Kennen with the unpopular (and in Dia/M+ extremely unpopular) combination of flash & ghost (#Flash on D, D=dash). Big reason of this is the fact that i'm an heavy advocate for both the celerity and nimbus cloak sub-runes. Another reason is the fact that i want to be the main engage for the team. It's not my job to make kills, but it's my job to get the priority targets low enough so the rest of my team can finish the job. Flash is no debate, but taking ghost with nimbus cloak serves as both an extra engage to start a teamfight, while also serving as an importantly disengage tool when i make a mistake during the laning phase. Downside ofc is your lack of early game presence: You have to wait till you unlock tp from the top quest.
• Playstyle: speaking on my vision on my role within the team. Im currently the Kennen with THE LOWEST AMOUNT OF AVERAGE KILLS within the top 200, and semi-lowest within the top 300. This is both a bad and a good thing. Having a higher average kill ratio means likely im more lane dominant, likely having more early game impact, and snowballing harder. On the other hand, i try to compensate my low amount of average kills in a different way: with my playstyle and build during the mid-game. This is stat wise noticeable in my assist count, with 8.9 assists per game being way above the general assist count for Dia+ kennen players. I try to play as safe as possible during the laning phase: short trades to proc my keystones, farm up, and buy 1 or more control wards to make sure i make it as unattractive as possible for an enemy jungler to gank me. With your high mobility, you have a reduced time to get from base to turret compared to other champions, so you can stay in lane longer, sacrificing kill potential for better item spikes.
• Build (runes & items): here i differ again from other players: my most-used runepage uses first strike >Footwear (95% of the times building ionia's boots instead of sorc boots)> biscuit>cosmic insight with sorcery sub-rune page celerity & nimbus cloak, finishing it off with both a tenacity & a movement speed stat-rune. This rune page is aimed at holding distance between my direct opponent, while compensating possible loss of cs with the first strike rune & (another deviation: cull start). While doran's bow is likely the superior starting item on kennen stat wise, starting with cull and first strike gives valueable early game gold, which allows you to hit your relevant early item spikes (oblivion orb+ protobelt or protobelt + bloodletters curse) sooner than people might be used to, giving you a very strong mid-game presence. Speaking of the last item: the ''black cleaver of magic damage'' is extremely underrated imo on kennen. Gives cdr, sizeable health & ap value on a champ that already gets bonus resistances when ulting & procs the item incredibly easy on multiple champions at the same time when using ultimate. Im building this item on a higher frequency than a lot of other players are willing to do,. with sometimes mixed but more often than not favorable results. This means im frequently delaying Zhonya's hourglass to either third or 4th item. Skipping out on deathcap & shadowflame entirely, and mostly opting to take 2 out of the 3 items (rylai, liandry & orb>morello) as final item(s), depending on the game.
• Mindset: If it's ranked, then im part of the azzapp following = Never surrender. Always keep on trying, and stay on a positive note. Helps your mental staying focussed, helps your honor count for honor rewards, & helps in the long run win games, (sometimes even''steal games'' ). Just try to communicate when you want to go in, dare to be vocal about your own mistakes, dare to take the blame, and dare to keep on trying!

Things i 100% need to improve on if i'd ever try to get to master (or gm?!) in the future (again):

1. Spacial awareness: im very embarrassed about the following confession: but i still use locked camera (without teammate hotkeys). I used clicking on the minimap to quickly scroll between teammtates, and trust that people are capable enough to track flash-timers when opponents are using it. I've tried to play without early on when playing league, but never actually learned to get consistent results without locked camera. I always make sure to be proactive in following fellow teammates when they enter my half of the map (toplane/river/enemy jungle), as long as i am able to (priority wise & favorable oppurtunity cost) as a way to compensate for my absence of tp. Likely gonna take a while,, but Definetly a work in progress for a summer holiday!
2. Fundamentals: Wave-management in combination with sometimes sloppy csing, I've never actually learned precision wave-management. Im aware of certain basic rules and have a understanding of how these are supposed to work (and use them in my own way), but i've never done my '''homework'' for learning proper wave-management. A possible small to medium gain, for relatively small effort. Likely the one thats the easiest to fix
3. learning to gracefully lose in countermatchups: I've been very lucky to avoid a lot of ''counter matchups, but there have been several games that im getting absolutely destroyed in the 1v1s when im getting counterpicked. I can still become better in stabalizing these lanes more, and lose ''less hard'', so i can still be relevant in harder to play games when the mid-game arrives. This one is entirely experience focussed, and likely the hardest to learn, since this is mostly trial by error based, Tips of higher elo players might help, but its harder to keep up with tips you are not sure to be able to execute them, mechanicly, so, i'd probably need to find my own way in dealing with this matchups as they go.
4. Keep trying different builds and runes: While i do feel this build works for me, the far most popular build (also in pro-play), uses an electrocute page, while also sometimes building the hextech gunblade item (good because kennen has both ap and ad scalings, and both the spell-vamp and active are synergistic on the champ. So might need to test more on this.

I apologize for the length and possible language errors, hope someone enjoys reading this, and have a nice day/evening/night!

Honestly didn't get to test it out much but IE crit dmg juices all your Shadow flame dmg, and now that W can crit when it was going off it was slapping.

I play Kennen Support and my favorite item to build is Zeke’s Convergence (also a fun Vex item after the QoL changes!!!!). I got this drawing from @rodennix on bluesky after forcing him to play with me until I got good (sort of) at this pick.

I was frustrated that this item has no lore behind it, but I recently discovered that the passive on Zeke’s is Frostfire Tempest and Kennen’s title is The Heart of the Tempest. My favorite item lines up with my favorite champion. Riot games made this item specifically for me

Hi, I'm kinda new to kennen but I have solid league knowledge. I was looking through some of the items for his AP build and was wondering if Horizon Focus would be a strong first/second item.

Pros

- Lack of unwanted stats (Ability haste is a GOOD stat especially with Ult no longer reducing in cd with level.)

- cheaper than most alternatives (excluding rocketbelt)

- The Hypershot passive is 10% more damage for 6 seconds to ALL enemies revealed (The ability which triggered Hypershot also benefits from the damage increase)

Cons

- Requires setup (I'm thinking this is minimal impact)

- Slightly more team fight oriented when trying to maximize passive impact.

GAMEPLAN

After testing I found that both Kennen's [Q] and Active [W] trigger Hypershot. Active [W] is reliable enough range that the distance requirement can be met. (750 range) While Hypershot is minimal (600) to trigger. His [Q] (which is more likely the ability triggering Hypershot) has a range of 1050 so I figured that there is a possible scenario where I land a ranged [Q] on a target, triggering Hypershot, then I can flash/[E] into Ult + [W]

This will provide the 10% damage boost to ALL enemies Hypershot reveals. So you can theoretically get an extra 10% damage across all enemies in your ultimate.

* (The range at which Hypershot will trigger from an ability is measured from the user's cast position to where the target was hit.)

- Lead me to trigger Hypershot passive off of Kennen auto attacks a couple of times when I or the target leaves Kennen's auto range AFTER the auto is mid flight. (kennen auto range is 550)

So, what do you all think? Am I cooking or have I burnt the kitchen? I would love to hear everyone's feedback especially from people more knowledgeable than me at this champ.

A cat like Kennen, from the new mode in WildRift.

Even this cat has more pixels than Kennen on PC XD

there is literally no reason to play adc kennen as u get swiped in dmg from any other adc

So I played Kennen last season and now I'm picking him back up and after looking around in stats websites im very confused

Do you play Electrocute + Sorcery or Electrocute + Inspiration?

Do we still build Liandries?

How good is Gunblade on him? And when can I build it?
