Kennen vs Kled Counter Pick
Matchup Summary
What the Data Means

The 550-versus-125 attack range gap means Kennen can contest the wave from outside Kled’s reach. The burden is on Kled: Kennen has no reason to walk into an even fight.
Kennen and Kled overlap on mixed damage, so itemisation converges rather than splits. Starting health splits 580 to 410 in Kennen’s favour, with armour at 29 against 35. Early physical trades read in Kled’s favour thanks to 6 more armour. At full build levels the gap widens to 2246 HP versus 1838, favouring Kennen. Kled also hits harder before items — 65 AD to 48. Kennen walks at 335 and Kled at 345, so Kled dodges skillshots a fraction easier.
Kennen looks for Lightning Rush (E); Kled answers with Bear Trap on a Rope (Q). Whoever spends Slicing Maelstrom or Chaaaaaaaarge!!! first hands the other a window. Kennen pays in Energy, Kled in Courage, so extended trades drain them at different rates.
