How to play it

✓ DO

Dodge his Q

Eat his Q into the empowered-auto combo and he takes prio back, turning the tables — so respect his shurikens and dodge them.

Win level 1

Fight for bush control at level 1 — his low early AD means you win it, take prio, and crash three waves he can't stop.

Stand in your wave

Sit in your own wave so he can't clear it with E or poke you with Q — this is the spot Kennen hates.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never let him E your wave — the moment he clears with it he flips prio and starts starving your mana.
