Kennen Support, patch 16.11. Below you'll find Kennen's build, runes, toughest counters, strongest duos, and win conditions, every number measured from current-patch Emerald+ ranked games.
Kennen is an AP mage in the support, and on patch 16.11 they grade out as a solid mid-tier pick — a 49.1% win rate, 0.1% pick rate, 776 ranked games sampled. On the power curve, Kennen spikes hardest in the mid game around the two-to-three-item mark — that is the window to force fights and objectives.
How Kennen wins: grouped 5-v-5 teamfights, where Kennen tips the fight, and landing engage and starting fights on Kennen's terms. The kit grades 9/10 teamfighting, 8/10 engage, 7/10 waveclear. Play around where Kennen is thin, split-push and disengage (3/10, 2/10), and the enemy loses their angle.
