So I've been enjoying kennen recently and have been doing pretty well. I'm just curious what his current state would be considered in high level rank. Please try not to be biased. Some champs have been considered weak until a pro decides to play them.
TheDuelist9993 votesI assume hes pretty strong because there are rumors that balls and zion are getting their kennen skills honed for lcs
Aozora1 votesWell that's 2/3 top top laners in NA (Balls don't twisted advance onto a Leona again plserino BibleThump) so I'd also say it'd be a good idea to try and pick the guy up. I'm looking forward to getting him myself cause he reminds me a lot of Rumble for some reason. :)
Syn Zykan1 voteshe is decent in a lane swap situation because of being resourceless and can farm with Q if needed and escape from dives with his E's MS buff + flash. The buffs to his W and Ult help him a LOT with his teamfight, and he is in a good spot with current itemization. People aren't picking up Chalice early in mid-lane and not many pick up any early MR meaning he can get off a good amount of damage along with his stun on initiating.
Overall I think he is entirely viable in every elo as long as you have a team that can follow up and not get wrecked in lane (which I cant think of anyone that hard denies Kennen except maybe a really well played Irelia)
Thunderkeg1 votesA good Panth can really ruin Kennens day
Abyssphere1 votesHe's good. He's one of the few top laners that are getting a look in at the LCS recently, so I think he's just sleeped on. Could be the new Lissandra (mage with strong team fight engage) when she gets nerfed.
