Yorick vs Kennen Counter Pick

Kennen’s 550 attack range against Yorick’s 175 shapes the first six levels, and Yorick has no dash to close that gap. His passive makes up for it by acting on its own: Mist Walkers rise from graves and advance no matter how much damage his summoner has already taken from poke. Over 271 games on patch 16.13.1, Yorick’s win rate sits at 56.5%, which earns an Easy rating.

Key figures:

• Kennen ends the game with 2,246 health, noticeably less than the 2,588 Yorick has at that same level.
• A base attack damage of 48 is weak even for a mage, so farming under pressure costs him time.
• Energy takes the place of mana, so Lightning Rush comes up often but always carries the risk of the fight it starts.

Watch out for Mark of the Storm: three applications stun, and Lightning Rush crossing a minion wave can deliver one without a direct cast. Slicing Maelstrom inflicts its damage over a span of time instead of all at once, and this is where Dark Procession proves its worth on cooldown: a wall placed between Kennen and his escape route holds him within the Maiden’s range. Mourning Mist strips armor and speeds summoned units toward the marked enemy, and against 29 base armor that reduction takes effect fast. Yorick is rated 6 for difficulty, Kennen 4.
