How to Use Kennen Counter Data
Need a clear read on which champions give Kennen trouble? These matchup figures are pulled from live ranked Top lane games, not from tier-list opinions. Right now, Kled, Yorick, and Gangplank are the hardest lane matchups for Kennen, where it posts its weakest win rates in the current data. Kled is the single worst matchup: Kennen wins only 43.2% of its 139 recorded games. In contrast, Kennen does well against K’Sante, Locke, and Volibear, so those are the safer lanes to take on.
Every card shows Kennen’s win rate in that matchup along with the number of games it’s based on. A result backed by tens of thousands of games deserves more weight than one built on a few hundred. The Easy, Even, and Hard tags come from the win rates themselves: under 48% is marked Hard, over 52% is marked Easy. They’re a quick visual guide, not a separate statistic. The data covers ranked games at Emerald and above in every region on patch 16.13.1, and it updates every 48 hours, so it shifts as the meta does.
