Why does kennen have 550 range?

Feels like he should have somthing like 525 or even 500 to put him at some kind of risk for his strong harass.

A lot of mages have 550 auto attack range.

Yes but how many of those mages are played as an adc (with large success)

kennan adc isnt anywhere near viable enough to be meta. in worlds it was a niche pick that met a certain goal for a comp. his range was already reduced in the past, which brought him from a meta adc to unplayable for a long time. after the buffs, he can be a situationally stong top or mid pick, but if you are losing to a kennan adc that doesnt have a comp built around him in soloque then idk what to tell you man. he isnt that strong past the 10 minute mark.

They were Fnatic's pocket pick. But the fact that they made it work means theirs some merit to it. The real trick is figuring out, why it works and how to use it.

The Fnatic build was High AS and high LS, which suggests that Kennen ADC wants to trade raw DPS for better dueling power. Which fits with the mobility and lock down in his kit. And while kennen is a little frail to initiate. (more so with the ADC build) He still works as an effective midline, and can help the team lock down the enemy in a wombo combo.

yes. very team fight oriented early game strat. very hard to pull off in soloque. he has no potential to be a hypercarry... and there is a reason for the hypercarry meta. its just more reliable.. especially in soloQ

Well he's a hybrid marksmen as well. And Fnatic has proven that ADC Kennen still works. And unless Riot has some Religious objection against Kennen's being an ADC, I don't them touching anything that has to do with his autos.

All said and done. I don't particularly feel like any of his builds is problematic. You get some burst damage on his Lane build, some sustained damage on his ADC build, And all forms have some level of initiation. But they don't seem to be oppressive.
