Hi! I'm Gardaen, and Bronze 4 player from NA, and I am a Kennen main. I don't just play mid or top with him though, I can play any position with him. I have him at mastery lvl 5 and have been hardcore trying to get an S- at the least with him. I just cant seem to be able to. It is probably due to the fact that most players that play kennen and want him at lvl 6 or 7 could all have good scores, but I mean, even I can go 15/1/14 with Kennen even though I'm bronze 4. I have relatively good cs no matter where I'm placed usually ending up with 160-220 cs by the 20 minute mark. I play all of my positions at least semi-well, and always have vision on my opponent in lane or in jg. If they arent I base predictions and use teamwork and pings to kill the opponent. I usually spend about 16k-20k in one game if it can last to the 30-40 minute mark. After the 20 minute mark though, I cant get my cs as higher because I'm roaming and getting objective. If thats the problem, can someone help me improve that? 200+ cs in a 30 min game can be pretty good right? Anyways, I've gone off track. Even in supp or jg with cs of at least 150+ and getting a good kda despite my pos. Dies anyone know what I might be doing wrong? I just can't seem to get an S!

Edit: I do help in teamfights and I'm always there for drag or a turret.

I have the same problem. It's pretty simple really.

-Have a LOT of assists. -A decent amount of cs.

  • Don't die.

Also I believe it is harder to earn an S on a champion you use a lot. I could be wrong but I have went positive 12 and only got an A-.

I'm going to say the problem is probably you're not doing a lot of damage for a Kennen player. Don't drop off your CS, either. When you fall behind in gold, you fall behind in damage. Farm more while also being more aggressive.

You realize it's not just about you improving, right? Ranks are determined by the aggregated playerbase of a specific champion. If people play amazingly, you don't get the S.

I'm not exactly sure about how the system works, but it's annoying when the team surrenders at 20:00 when you're fed and don't get an S. Like you could be 8/0, and still no S because you didn't get the chance to get more because the game ends.

I'll upvote because I've never seen a Kennen main.
