Going to get a great Kennen ult off

Jk the support just CC'd me before I got in ult range and the two carries killed me from outside of my ult's radius before the CC wore off.

This is dumb, either given Kennen the survivability needed to get in close, or give him a way to actually get in close without being stopped by anyone with two brain cells.

You have a 38% win ratio on a champion that has a global 50% win ratio, using matches taken only from Platinum+ ranked. You know, the elo that you constantly lord over everyone?

Maybe it's time to consider that it isn't the champion that is bad.

Lightning Rush provides additional movement speed (to dodge abilities) and resistances (to survive damage).

Maybe you should have picked a better time to engage or dodged the CC.

Hold on, dodging point-and-click stuns and saving Lightning Rush to mitigate damage while I'm CC'd, because I absolutely don't need it to get into ult range, and that 10 bonus armor is going to save me. Sounds legit.

Maybe you should not post?

Most supports don't have point and click stuns. They also can't use them on you if they've used them on someone else.

Time your ult better (ie: do it after someone else engages), use a combination of lightning rush's resistances and Zhonyas to survive. If they save all of their CC waiting for you to ult (which they probably won't, considering it doesn't turn off the way Kat or Nunu's do) then your team gets to run around not being CC'd.

If you can't get in with a lightning rush, maybe you should buy item 3152 to gap close. It sounded like you tried to initiate as a mage instead of follow up. You're not a MonkeyKing Malphite etc

Good responses from Gold V in this thread, clearly very knowledgeable players who know more about how Kennen is played than a Diamond Kennen main. Please tell me more about how to play Kennen. I'd love to hear.

Rank restricted forums where?

You may have a book cover of a Diamond, but an attitude of a Bronze according to these whine threads you made, so keep that "rank restricted forum" crap to yourself.

Kennen needs summoner 4 to engage reliably

you're building glass cannon on an ap champ that has no mana. you're building deathcap and zhonya's, maybe a scepter occasionally. there's no reason you shouldn't be tanky af. first item should be scepter, no exceptions, then protobelt. then you'd want to build items like zhonya's, abyssal, or simply stack more health with warmog's. the tank mage build is very strong right now, and you don't even have to worry about mana on kennen. you build like bronze noob, mr. attitude. kennen's right there with teemo as being one of the most abusive laners in the game and the late game is a result of how you build the champ, which yours is incorrect. clearly incorrect.
