Playing against Kennen
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
Spread out when Kennen engages with E + R: his ult only deals damage in a radius around him.
His E + R engage is predictable: when you see him running toward you in ball form, back off immediately.
Kennen is squishy without his burst — if you survive his R, he has nothing left.
Zhonya's is his only survival tool after engaging — burst him before he activates it or wait for it to expire.
