the Heart of the Tempest
Champion analysis written by TEAMGAP editors.
Kennen's R AoE damage plus stun provides top-tier teamfight engage, making him a devastating AP top laner in teamfight-focused compositions. His ranged advantage versus melee top laners ensures lane dominance, and E speed serves dual purpose for movement and initiation. Without R his teamfight impact drops sharply, and his low HP means CC leads to instant death.
More than just the lightning-quick enforcer of Ionian balance, Kennen is the only yordle member of the Kinkou. Despite his small, furry stature, he is eager to take on any threat with a whirling storm of shuriken and boundless enthusiasm.
