Yes I have wondered before if it’s worth cutting out the text box and putting it on the screen in the past just to add that bit of extra clarity appreciate the idea!
I would add that buying Riftmaker is another option. You can avoid buying Zhonya, because your ult heals you when you hit everyone with horizont focus and your true damage charged up. Also with Nasors Tooth you can be very strong without your ult, because your e gives you 80% attack speed. I usually buy ionian summoner shoes, and in the runes, I use transcendence and ability haste, this turns this lightning cat into a bit faster lightning cat, and an insane lane bully. This build has less overall ult damage, but you can be less ult dependent, and it’s just more fun than pressing e 5 r 1. - below average kennen main
Love this build! I've been running Riftmaker/Nashors/BoTRK recently (occasionally switching it up with Sorcs or defensive, it depends) but I haven't tried Ionians. I think that overall, this build is better suited for more tanky/bruiser-y enemy comps where you're looking to kind of stay in combat for longer. I haven't considered using Horizon but that seems like a really good idea :o
@@Madge104 low. Really low. As low as ELO can be. But I think you should try it in draft, and if it works, bring it to ranked. It's not as consistent as the rocketbelt build, but you can actually play the game, so it's more fun. My full build: Runes: Electrocute (good burst, helps you in the hit and run kiting fights) Cheap shot (it gives me a challenge, but it's not essential for the build) Ghost poro (neither this, but it's plus vision and automatic ping) Ultimate hunter (obviously) Transcendence (if you land your passive well, energy won't be that much of an issue. Plus, my ult regenerates a lot of energy with stuns, so you kill, stun, regenerate energy, kill, refund cooldowns, repeat) Gathering storm (it's like absolute focus, but better in every aspect. Really good for lategame, because it's easy to catch up to Kennen) Ap, ap health, but it's not essential Items: Doran's blade against melees (I turn Kennen into a ranged toplainer. His E (start with that) gives him 40-80% attack speed, and his W passive (second) has 80-200% ad scaling onhit). Against ranged and spellcaster opponents, I start with Doran's ring, and Q. Pretty basic stuff. I try to get refillable as soon as I can, than I go for Ionian boots. Than I go for Riftmaker. With riftmaker, I try to land a stunning combo (see what I did there?), after that, my Riftmaker fully actives, and the enemy is at half health, so I finish him with my ult. If they are more tanky, I stun them, and do a kiting kind of thing, but with spells. This technique can kill people without ult, because of electrocute's and Riftmaker's damage, and the healing from Riftmaker. After Riftmaker, my ideal build is Horizont Focus for that sweet extra 10% damage after a stun and the 100 ap, Nashor's Tooth for less ult dependency, also 100 ap, plus Kennen has the third highest attack speed ratio, 0.697 something, this is also good if you are usually facing enemies outside of team fights, Cosmic Drice for combo focused gameplay (gives you 130 ap if you land your 3 hit combo) and the speed, spell blade (idk the name) for the speed and to make you fully ult independent, and of course a Rabadon's Deathcap. If the game has only team fights, then I suggest Horizont, Shadowflame, Voidstaff, Morelloicon (idk the name, the anti heal) and Rabadon. If the enemy team gets ahead, replace either Horizont or Morelloicon with Zhonya. Try to find a ballance between the two builds. Like go for the first one, but replace spell blade with Morelloicon if the enemy team has a lot of healing. I hope I was thorough. Have fun with the build!
Against melee I would advise trying E start for the attack speed gain at lvl 1 into W at 2. Try it, it’s oppressive and what most challenger kennens do E-W-Q (still max Q first) With aerie runes =}
Kennen is the safest pick if you're going solo Q. His ult is a game changer if you're playing Plat 2 team and below. Diamond, you'll either go big or go home during Laning phase coz by that time majority of the players have decent knowledge of every champion pros and cons. -Kennen main
@@ab-15188 What rune page is best? I've been using arey a lot and electrocute when I know/its an easier matchup. is it good to switch between or should I stick to one? Also is first strike viable?
@@rome867 Sorry for the late reply. I switch in between depending how I think the matchup is going to be like. Also depending on your playstyle as well. At times I go electrocute, at times I go phase rush then at times I go for conqueror
@@3MinuteLeagueofLegends I dont really know what could be done exept for scaling... Maybe a change like having the e buff while in ult so you can keep your e as a way to escape ? No idea !
For me, a good way to guarantee a stun is empowered AA (from the W passive), Q, and W. Or some variation of that. A similar way is Q, Empowered AA, and a quick W. You can see how many Mark of the Storm an enemy has by looking for the floating orbs around them that appear when you hit them with an ability
I see not many (or any really) Kennens max W but honestly on a lot of my mains I max technically wrong things because it works in certain games so if it works for you absolutely!
I love kennen! Great guide as always!
Cheers! Yeah he is a great champ I have a friend who mains him so I’ve been a fan of him for a long time!

As soon as I saw that there is a character with the Naruto Run, I didn't think twice...
Haha gotta love little Kenny!
you're the most underrated channel !! can u do a guide for xayah next please?
Cheers pal! Yes there should be one for her over the next couple of weeks!
thank you!!
alright finally a guide thats not 50 minutes and is very helpful
Yeah my friends trying to get back into the game and only being able to find super long guides is a big motivation for this channel 😅
@@3MinuteLeagueofLegends youre a lifesaver my guy but my condolences for changing every guide in season 14 ;-;
Against melee I would advise trying E start for the attack speed gain at lvl 1 into W at 2. Try it, it’s oppressive and what most challenger kennens do
E-W-Q (still max Q first)
With aerie runes =}
Ah nice this sounds super good to try out!

Completely agree, one of my friends has been a Kennen main since S3 so I’ve loved him for a long time!
@@3MinuteLeagueofLegends Dope! Ahri is a safe pick too for mid if you're going Solo. -Ahri One Trick for 1 year straight

@@rome867 if you talk about Ahri, just go electrocute. Gank side lanes when your ult is up like literally everytimes
spot on (as always)
Cheers pal! 😁
As someone who mains Kennen, i love this video xD thunder hamster deserves some love!
Haha he really does! He always seems to be in every game for ages and then basically disappear for ages 😂
yeah kennen buffs in 3 days
He might receive a buff next patch from what I saw, it's a great time to learn him for those who never played the champion !
Yes indeed! It looks like they may be being pushed to the ones after next but I’m excited to see what they do with him!
@@3MinuteLeagueofLegends
I dont really know what could be done exept for scaling... Maybe a change like having the e buff while in ult so you can keep your e as a way to escape ? No idea !
well its a suggestion , can you categorize your guides with playlists for all roles like top jung mid adc sup
Yes I do need to get on this - will try to find the time to do it soon!
I think I’m gonna try this guy next.. I use Ashe as Main
Yeah he’s a brilliantly fun top laner!
This is nice cause I actually want to learn him, I've tried before but I could never figure out how to guarantee the stun
For me, a good way to guarantee a stun is empowered AA (from the W passive), Q, and W. Or some variation of that. A similar way is Q, Empowered AA, and a quick W. You can see how many Mark of the Storm an enemy has by looking for the floating orbs around them that appear when you hit them with an ability
Finally a kennen video
Yeah he’s long overdue hope it was helpful! 😁
It was very helpful
With this video i managed to get a pentakill
Thanks for the content
Will you make an 3 Minute Kaisa Guide in Future? :)
Yes definitely it should be one of the next few to come out now - it’s long long overdue!
I forgot Kennen existed
Haha yeah it seems he goes through times where he’s in every game and then he’s just in none for ages 😂
Main counters: D Shield, Second Wind, Hands
Yes Shield and second wind are great pick ups, but bone plating is also great against electrocute champs!
I can't believe Kennen engages with a Naruto run. Hahaha!
Haha it is great! Insane movement speed too so it basically is!
@@3MinuteLeagueofLegends He stayed true to his ninja roots.
kennen needs a pikachu-parody skin
That would be incredible - if Rammus gets a Bowser one Rito can make this happen!
Tysm for this, the LoL spotlight is dogshit, needed a proper one.
No worries pal glad to help!
I don't know why maybe its just my preference, but maxing W is kinda nice as well, usually i put 2 points in q than max w
but if u lane vs a bully like teemo, max that q for sure .
I see not many (or any really) Kennens max W but honestly on a lot of my mains I max technically wrong things because it works in certain games so if it works for you absolutely!
