We've been over this before, take advantage of the fact that most melee tops out-range his auto and kill him when he tries to CS.

Hi Yenn

Long time

Ya Ima just kill Kennen when he has no resource, an escape, a hard CC, and has obnoxious AA harass too

I Engage Kennen with my mana draining gap closer while he has no resource

Idk who you're playing, but most tops can kill Kennen 1v1 unless you fuck up badly or just forget how weak he is around level 6-9. His single target damage is terrible and you have to eat repeated harass before he can kill you, while you can dumpster 50-70% of his health in one combo during his weaker levels.

We've already gone through this using Darius as an example.

What is Kennen's auto range and what is Darius's Apprehend range? Let's not even bring Darius's much higher MS with Phaige into this. Please respond so we have confirmation you've realized how dumb you are.

Riven, cancelling allows her to hit him with a stun from ~700 range almost instantly, but they have to be good. Irelia, she just completely shits on Kennen by Q'ing off a minion to him and dumpstering 70% of his health once she has Triforce. Gangplank, Parrrley spam shits on him from 600-some range. Yasuo, if he builds a Hexdrinker he can just all-in Kennen, but again, the player has to be good.

Basically any high damage top lane with a gap closer can beat Kennen.

In the counter match-up section, of the 12 champion to perform well against him, 9 are melee champions.

Granted, of those 9, only Nasus, Mundo and Olaf are classified as Juggernauts.

Kennen is a good champ, I love him, but in truth he's not that good. He is very strong with protobelt but there are Wayyyyyyyy to many champions that out shove, out damage, or out heal him. He has very defined weakness and his gap closer is a movement speed increase not a blink so disengaging from one is very easy unless he flashes and protobelts. God forbid you have a champion with a knock back, maw, zhonyas, or aegis. I think what people hate about him is that he forces you to not fight all out pre-6. I good top/mid knows what they can and can't do to him. Simply getting merc treds and a hex drinker is enough to sit him down if you are ad. If you are ap you will almost always out range him. If youre a tank just build Magic resist then he is forced to focus on farm because fighting someone with a spirit visage as kennen just aint gonna happen.
