Riot supplies this champion's identity, text, and abilities. MacroDiff has not published a curated analysis layer for it yet, so roles and signals below are inferred from Riot's archetype data.

KIT READ

Abilities

Ability text as Riot writes it, in both languages.

Q

Thundering Shuriken

Kennen throws a fast moving shuriken towards a location, causing damage and adding a Mark of the Storm to any opponent that it hits.

W

Electrical Surge

Kennen passively deals extra damage and adds a Mark of the Storm to his target every few attacks, and he can activate this ability to damage and add another Mark of the Storm to targets who are already marked.

E

Lightning Rush

Kennen morphs into a lightning form, enabling him to pass through units and apply a Mark of the Storm. Kennen gains Move Speed when entering this form, and attack speed when leaving it.

R

Slicing Maelstrom

Kennen summons a storm that strikes at nearby enemy champions for magical damage.

Matchup

Aatrox into ranged top: three spacing rules

The matchup is lost in the first three waves or not at all. Three rules that keep the lane survivable until your first sustain spike.
