FalconPawwwwnch··4 votes·1,043 views

Current stun duration on passive: 1.25 seconds

Change: .75 at level 1, 1 at level 6, 1.25 at level 11, 1.5 at level 16

Thank me later

Kennen does not need nerfs.

That would gut his entire kit. The whole point of kennen is the huge threat of his ult and passive combined. Without passive stun ult is useless. 0.75s stun at 6 is awful bro.

No his kit needs a rework, his Q does 75 damage that scales with 75% ap, that's a lot of damage for an 8 second cooldown, his E does 85 damage with 60% of your ap and his W is the only normal damage ability. His ult does 160 damage a second and assuming you're not a boosted ape you'll get your stun off and they'll be caught in your ult doing a total of 480 damage and 40% of your ap. Why is this ok? His ult is already so huge you can't escape if you wanted too so why so much damage? This is all at rank one for his abilities! so don't give that crap about him needing his ult to be useful, you know damn well as everyone else that kennel is broken as hell

Well I do agree he is a bit strong in terms of counterplay he lacks this. You complain about his damage being very high the only this is so high is the stun. So yes the stun is a bit long but 0.75s at level 6 is just godawful. I agree with nerfing him but nerfing the stun just might make him useless until he hits level 11. They would need to buff the numbers to compensate for the fact the enemy is not stunned much longer. We all know how bad Riot is at adjusting numbers (Looking at you kitty kat Rengar ) I would feel like something around 1.0/1.25/1.5 @ 1/11/18 would be just fine. Another option as someone suggested would be to make it so he doesn't proc his stun twice. I think this is the biggest issue.

how about no since he relies on his ult to do everything

would prefer duration of the marks shortened so he can't proc twice, then zone you for the next 6 seconds only to W and stun you anyway

Nobody cared about Kennen until worlds. I cared (most played in ranked this season), and now I'm going to be fighting for a contested pick XD.

He's not broken. He's geared as a team fighting mage, and NEEDS someone else on his team to be able to dish out some damage because he runs out of gas after his initial stunning burst.

Kennen's not broken. Unless you're Bobjenkins, then you're just a monster with him.
