Kennen vs Urgot

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Kennen must use ranged poke and mark stacking to pressure Urgot and deny him a calm scaling lane.
Prioritize lane pressure and avoid extended trades without (R) or stun stacks to prevent Urgot from punishing with (E) flips.
This is a control vs scale matchup where Kennen aims to leverage teamfight impact and ranged poke to suppress Urgot's side-lane dueling.

Trading pattern

Trade only when Urgot is marked to maximize stun threat and force him back.
Punish Urgot's missed (E) by stepping forward to apply pressure and stack marks.
Avoid extended trades if (E) is down, as Urgot can punish your lack of mobility and retaliate with flips.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (E) is on cooldown, as Kennen is vulnerable to Urgot's engage and passive legs damage.
Avoid grouping tightly when (R) is available to prevent getting locked down by Kennen's own area stun.
Recognize that (E) flip followed by passive legs damage creates a lethal window if Kennen overcommits without escape.

Early game

Use (Q) and (W) to chip Urgot safely while keeping (E) ready for escape or repositioning.
Avoid committing without (E) available to dodge (E) flip and passive legs damage.
Focus on short poke trades and stacking marks rather than extended fights before level 6.

Power spikes

At level 6, preserve health and look for flank or flash angles to leverage (R) area stun for kills or objective fights.
After flashing into (R), Kennen gains reliable teamfight delivery; hold resources for decisive fights rather than low-value trades.
Respect Urgot's level 6 (R) execute threat by maintaining poke pressure and avoiding low health to prevent easy executions.

Win conditions

Use ranged poke and mark stacking to control lane and prevent Urgot from scaling safely.
Convert (R) flank or flash windows into kills or advantageous teamfights to snowball lead.
Deny Urgot side-lane dueling by applying pressure and forcing him to play defensively in lane.
