Why Kennen top?

Hello, I'm an old player returning after about a 2 year hiatus and I used to main Kennen, but I always played him mid. In my quest to figure out all thats changed I noticed he is primarily played top now and was curious as to why that is?

Because he can shit on most top laners that aren't ranged

Because ranged top players suck at ranged vs ranged matchups

He's good at poking melees and also dealing with the other ranged champs that go top like Teemo.

Because he has weak waveclear, so when you put him mid it makes mid lane tower really easy to siege up and take it, where as somebody like Viktor or Syndra can safely clear minion waves from long range over and over again to stall out sieges.

Top lane tower rarely gets sieged. Also Kennen has pretty good matchups into a lot of top laners.

  • Annoying to enemy melee champions.
  • Good poke.
  • Safe range for CS-ing minions.
  • Quite mobile with his E.
