Man the kinkou order really needs to work on their ninjas. A rat that summons thunderstorms and a guy built like Lewis the gator ain’t gonna sneak through anyone
I genuinely believe Kennen needs a VGU. Not because his model and animations are outdated but you cannot tell me that a "burst mage assassin" should have a freaking *MOVEMENT SPEED ABILITY* in the modern league than a dash. Why do you think in pro play when players use Kennen in team fights they ALWAYS e +flash+ protobelt+ult everytime? Because if they try to E ULT it doesn't take much brain power for the enemy to react to a small lighting rat zooming into them and having built-in escapes to avoid kennen
@santiagojara8056 but that shouldn't be the case. Items should benefit the Champs playstyle/scaling not solely to be dependent in order to function. Old udyr had to rely on turbo chemtank, which made him super op that it went through a slew of changes. Eventually, udyr got reworked and didn't need to rely on turbo (especially since it got changed to a legendary to then being removed). Kennedy LEGIT can't function on team fights if he doesn't have his protobelt and flash up becuase his e gives movment speed, not a dash, and unless its hecarim or garen who are very tanky to charge in it's difficult for kennen in modern league because everyone has a dash or a form of cc to stop/avoid Kennen. Despite many champs that can teamfight without having to flash or solely rely on an item.
@@ravindupadmanath2802 They would have to tweak his ult then, because it is absurdly powerful for teamfights and it's only really balanced by how shit the rest of his kit is
I think the best way the Community has managed to make Kennen a bit interesting is by saying that he is a figment of Shen's imagination, making him schizophrenic. I find that amusing
@@Ivoireee lol I meant to put it as a regular comment, not a reply. Don't take my advice on modern league, I stopped playing months ago but still enjoy the lore and art around the game.
Thanks so much for taking the time to do Kennen’s review - I’ve been waiting for this one for quite some time as he’s been my favourite champ for quite a few years! Indeed, it does feel as though League has evolved so much compared to Kennen who’s remained relatively the same. My hope is so that we can at least see his Awakening redesign used more in the near future and perhaps a nice skin that develops his character some more as well.
No flame but why do you like kennen? I've played him like twice and every time I did just thought to myself" why don't I play Quinn or vayne instead of this rat"
No worries, I get it - he can feel dated with his limited animations too. The electric aesthetic is a big one for me such as turning into a small ball of lighting , but getting that perfect 3-5 champion ultimate is something I quite enjoy about Kennen (especially team fights). He used to be far more flexible with AP and AD builds in the past too which I liked as well. His design is very simple and could use an update, but I feel Kennen has potential to be more fun (and live up to his lightning fast fantasy) with a visual update.
Electric rat is one of my favorite champions next to the void puppy and league kratos. I think he's a fun champion, and he seriously needs an update in lore and model.
Kennen is definitely a character that really needs a visual update, but at the same time I'd put every other visually outdated champ before him. It's not that he's a bad character, or that his redesign is bad or his gameplay is bad, it's just that he's the definition of mid imo. Half the cast looks better than him, and the other half worst. And the worst half is so bad that they retroactively attract a subset of the community that wants to see them updated.
Kennen holds such a space in my heart, got my first penta and i was so happy my friend who introduced me bought me blood moon. I wish he'd be updated to fit the modern scene because i do really enjoy his character and he'd be so good to see with all the shit going down in ionia. Akali just dipped and Shen is so busy being horny, i feel like they could go a green lantern route and instead of the eye/fist he raises up a council of elemental yordles
As a devout Kennon main, I’ve known his issue for AGES He (and many other champions) are in need of a VGU, ASU, or literally any other update. The issue is that they aren’t as dire as other people like Singed, Shyvana, Corki, etc That doesn’t mean he doesn’t need some update, because JESUS he does. I could be wrong but off the top of my head in the last 5 or so years, he’s been buffed like 8 times and nerfed ONCE
As a former Kennan player. You go full Ap if they squishy and will just die to ult, Ap/AS if you want they have disengage/tanks. I loved AS Kennan, stun locking shurikens.
I really wish we could get a skin for Shen from a universe where he broke his oath/lost his shit and killed Zed. "Outcast Shen" needs to be a real legendary skin even more so seeing how Shen has none and has been around for so long. (mentioned this because were talk about Kinko) that being said Kennen needs some love for sure like a lot of old champs.
nah, half lor kennen's voicelines is just "i must avenge my students!" on repeat, because for some reason he only seems to have the one line for when an ally dies, and must say it every time an ally dies
I think they should tone down his silliness in terms of personality, but I hope they keep his squeaky voice. It creates an interesting and funny contrast, and it just feels cool and unique to me to have this very wise important figure with this squeaky voice.
Honestly kennen shouldn't besuper important, he should just be this funny dim goon lightning rat with a ninja theme cause that's clearly all he is and ever could be.
When this series is over, I can't wait for a supercut of the gromlin sounds at the end of the videos and for it to randomly get broken up by a "Technique!" around the halfway point
Kennen feels like he has abilities, but he doesn't have a kit. He gets attack speed and on-hit from E and W but also wants to run in and ult with E and Ult but also has poke or a generic projectile on Q. Like his abilities don't synergize well. His kit should be something like his E lets him teleport to a marked enemy and his ult is just Zeri ult but applies marks for stun so he can actually use the attack speed, and then make his q and auto enhance or something. Like make it all work together one day, Riot, please.
I like his kit, feels fine to me. You poke your laner down until you all in him. Then late game you're strong enough to 1 shot most of the team. He just needs some quality of life buffs if anything
I wanted to specifically mention in this comment section how i think its wierd that every kennen i play with has such a bad attitude Like these guys are playing as ninja pikachu lighten up
yes they make shurikens this small. yes they make shurikens this small. yes they make shurikens this small. yes they make shurikens this small. yes they make shurikens this small. yes they make shurikens this small. yes they make shurikens this small. yes they make shurikens this small. yes they make shurikens this small. yes they make shurikens this small.
I have always liked Kennen, but because he is just so outdated it feels bad playing him. Also I will admit, i thought kennen was a girl when i was like 12 and first got in league, due to his voice. Also "big targets are the best, there is more to aim at", is my favourite quote
I feel like he should be like master shfo from kung-fu panda like a very hard working master who follow strict rule but is able to see the potential of every one of his students
I personally enjoy building kennen on hit. Especially now that they removed lethal tempo, he's one of the few characters that can break the attack speed cap. It gets to the point to where i basically never spend energy on my Q, just my W and E for the stun stacks and the AS buff. Is it the most potent kennen build? no. But it is still pretty potent. Havent tried it since they revamped the ADC items yet.
5:52 You were in time for Kennen's quality of life update in 14.9 where he doesn't stop for a sec while ulting. Kennen was one of the champions I first started to try different champs. I was mainly Nasus and Morde. Loved him first time, now indifferent. Not a fan of his playstyle of kiting and diving, and then essentially being an ult bot. Also I'm bad at skillshots - Q either misses or get minion blocked.
Kennen is, alongside Lulu, Corki, Rumble and Teemo part of the yordles who desperately needs either an ASU or a VGU. The idea behind kennen is certainly interesting, a yordle who got to be part of a secret ninja order who protects the balance. However his design is just very poor and rather than looking like a yordle he feels more like a furry rat fursona. Not to mention his models has the same amount of polygons that the corkster has.
I know that in the pokemon community theres the talk of "every pokemon is at least, the favorite of someone" but for some champions in league, man, is difficult to say that. Kennen looks like a weebo rat, like hes favorite anime of all time is naruto and he loves sasuke or something along this line
hurts me that kennen is basically nothing to both riot and the community cause I like him sm. he has potential (but a blank sheet of paper also has potential)
Kennen is my favorite champion and i loved the direction he was going with the new (guess old now) lore, and also the awaken design. But then riot just keeps this horrible model, doesnt use the new design for wild rift, he is not in the cinematic, doesnt give him new voice lines or good effects, and then LOR's Kennen just feels like a complete different character, the point of his story is that he is fighting for everyone that has died because he is IMORTAL, and then LOR gives him IMORTAL yordle friends... Also his art there looks like a hyperrealistic onion with eyes and his play style is boring as fuck, but his voice lines are the worst part, he is supposed to be a fun person with a serious side, but they wanna make my lil bro become Yoda 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
