McFatal··3 votes·2,468 views

this hcampion is too fucking powerful for how easy he is. just build dorans build aa everytime a melee goes for cs.

this shit isnt FUN riot. every game he just goes tanky and STILL FLASH ULTS MY ADC FOR A FREE 1 SHOT OR A STUN.

he NEEDS to get his base damage lowered.

hes impossible to gank with his e. he has so much fucking damage with an ad item when he scales with ap. maxes w and still does damage with aa and q.

this champion is so fuckign braindead.

i get that you have a fetish for making ranged top laners strong as fuck (aka buffing jayce for no reason)

but as a riven player, id liek one matchup to be fun. please.

? kennen has the same one but its not a skillshot. whats to say you cc the wrong target and kennen is pressing r behind you.

hes too easy. even garen has more trouble in lane and teamfights. fuck that champion.

worlds is such a stupid stream because it just brought out all the assholes in the community who need to spam the most broken of all to win lane and games. syndra olaf and kenne jayce in just about every game.

I find it ironic that as a riven player, you complain about a champion being cancer.

i find it ironic that riven has a hard lane almost every game now because of tanks and items but you remind me of low elo forum users.

Apparently Riven is also hard countered by a little bit of banter.

I take offense to all energy champs. Having a lane-wide hard CC is doubly disgusting. Kennen is press R to win for sure.

Or just jokingly agree with him.

"Ya got me. Yep, salty Riven main. But maybe you can help me out so this match up will be less salty in the future?"

im not salty about kennen players. im salty that riot keeps helping out ranged champions and leaving melees in the dust. its been like this for the whole season. fucking christ man.

jayce buffed WHY?

thats my point. you're disagreeing while agreeing.

every ranged champion int he game can nwo be taken top and still do good late game. every stage of the game they can excel at. thats not how its sopposed to work. kennen has every stage of the game set for him. even if hes behind he shits on everyone because of his cc

Except you're all too aggressive. It's clear you're just salty and salt is hard to take seriously.

thats kind of what happens when you're fed up with getting raped by the balanc team every single game. as a top main who plays vs kennen/jayce/olaf nearly EVERY single game, i have the right to get pissed off.

regardless of me being angry as i typed it, it made a clear point. hes broken and too easy to play, and needs a nerf.

lol I don't have to be Plat III to see an irrational argument made by someone with a clear bias towards their favorite champ. People have already told you that there are multiple melee champs that counter Kennen, in addition to mage/marksman tops. Renekton Pantheon Fiora all hard counter Kennens who attempt to snowball.

You're angry because you just so happen to play a set of champions that Kennen - a lane bully - does especially well against.

How about instead of crying for Kennen nerfs and calling him imbalanced, you accept that ranged tops are a valid counterpick to certain types of melee champions?

actually a good kennen doesn't lose to either of these lanes. good one tho. id be fine if kennen was only good in lane. but teamfights he also does amazing at. so wheres the point where he falls off? wheres the point when its a bad time to play kennen? ranged tops have always been top like vayne.

now jayce and kennen are played every game and its become a nuisance for everyone that isnt playing them.

Lose? Who said anything about Kennen losing those lanes? I said they're especially good at prevent him from winning. As in, a stalemate. Also, who says Kennen has to fall off because he's a lane bully? Vlad is a lane bully and he only gets stronger as he gets more itemization. Being effective throughout a match does not make you broken. Vlad's winrates are not through the roof - neither are Kennen's? Why? Because they're not overtly broken. They're frustrating to play against. I know as someone who plays Riven you really want to go for kills and a turret in lane, but there are some instances where you have to play a farm lane. There are plenty of top lane champions that can stay relevant mid/late without kills, via just passively farming.

Damn I love the downvotes made by butthurt Kennen players, LOL.

Btw, Kennen can eve lose his lane, who fucking cares, just flash + ulti in a teamfight and it's gg anyway.

Swiftstrike41 votes

My issue with Kennen at the moment is that I don't think he drops off. Strong laning, strong team fight, high damage, only needs a couple items item 3157 and item 3152 to be strong.

He has a strong laning phase being ranges and is pretty mobile making him tough to gank. He is a great teamfighter that does a lot of damage that scales really well. Even if you shut a Kennen down in laning he can still deal out a lot of damage by ulting and using zhonya's. Has pretty decent CC with his passive He has a pretty good initiate by building the item 3152 - This might be the issue though. The nerfs to proto belt will indirectly nerf him and make him an overall weaker champion and it may even him out. Same could be said with item 3116. I think the item changes will put him in a weaker position

I typically don't ban kennen, but the champion can be flexed into two lanes and couples well with a lot of other champion with AoE ultimates.
