This match-up isn't bad at all for kennen if you play properly. Here are some tips: -Kennen has a ranged autoattack that u can abuse against zed's melee attack range. You can abuse this at lvl 1 if you take W so you can deal more poke dmg on him (zed won't have W at lvl 1 so i highly recommend that you play aggressive and kite zed very hard). Maxing W first is highly recommended for this match-up. Starting dorans blade is also viable on kennen in this match-up. -When you're looking to trade, try to stack up your W's passive beforehand so you can land quicker stuns on Zed and this will help you trade better. -In general against Zed, you're playing a kite style so try to keep your distance away from him so he cant get into autoattack range and you just autoattack/Q/W him. You can use your E to help you maintain this distance.

Feels like a massive disadvantage at early lvls except for single target minions and below-decnt poking(maybe?) but kennen does have an advantage at team fighting synergy past lvl 6.

Not a bad matchup at all honestly.

You want Zhonya's anyways and even without it you can stun and kite and outrange him. You match him in the fact you're manaless too. To be honest it's probably some of the best none-OP picks into Zed.

You'll be more useful in teamfights. It'll only go bad if Zed decides to split push and nobody on your team can 1v1 him.
