How it works

General
  1. You are going to be building damage items, going AD and Crit.
  2. You are going to play carry for your team.

How to play

General
  1. Kennen Crit build. You go AD, Attack Speed and of course... Crit!
  2. Don't rush Infinity Edge. Usually go for it as #2 or #3 item.
Kennen Crit specific
  1. Use E to prep before fights, to gain attack speed.
  2. Use R to peel from yourself, as you cannot really autoattack, so engaging with it rarely makes sense.

Tips and Tricks

General
  1. Keep track of your Electrical Surge (W) stacs. Once you have it fully stacked, you can very easily stun an enemy with auto attack + Q + W combo. You can even pair it with Flash for very unexpected CC.
Riot
  1. You can stun your opponents by inflicting 3 Marks of the Storm upon them.
  2. Lightning Rush can be used to initiate fights with its Energy return component, allowing him to use other abilities afterward.
  3. You can land an initial Mark of the Storm debuff on an opponent with Thundering Shuriken, and then add to it with Electrical Surge.
