Quinn vs Kennen

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Quinn is a ranged lane bully aiming to pressure Kennen and deny him safe farming to snowball early.
Prioritize lane pressure and wave crashes to create roam opportunities and avoid giving Kennen passive scaling time.
This is a snowball vs teamfight matchup where Quinn must leverage side-lane picks and roaming to offset Kennen's level 6 teamfight threat.

Trading pattern

Trade short bursts using (Q) and autos when Kennen walks up to last-hit, leveraging blind to deny his return damage.
Avoid extended trades especially if (E) is down, as Kennen can stack marks and threaten stun combos.
Punish Kennen immediately after he uses (E) for engage or escape, as he is more vulnerable then.

Danger windows

Kennen is dangerous when he has multiple mark stacks and (R) ready; avoid clustering and respect his all-in threat.
Quinn is vulnerable if (E) is down, as Kennen can engage or punish her lack of disengage.
Be cautious when Kennen flanks or uses (E) aggressively without vision; hard push and ping danger to avoid ganks.

Early game

Use early ranged poke and (Q) blind to harass Kennen and force him to farm under pressure.
Hold (E) to disengage Kennen's engage attempts and maintain spacing.
Crash waves quickly around level 6 to unlock (R) roams and pressure side lanes before Kennen can group.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to convert lane pressure into fast roams and map tempo, forcing Kennen to respond.
First damage item spike strengthens Quinn's burst and poke; pressure isolated Kennen targets while keeping (E) ready.
Respect Kennen's level 6 (R) area stun threat and his ability to flank or flash for teamfights; avoid grouped fights when (R) is up.

Win conditions

Win lane by denying Kennen safe farm with ranged poke and (Q) blind, then crash waves to roam with (R).
Exploit Kennen's cooldowns, especially after (E) use, to force short trades and isolate him for burst damage.
Use Quinn's superior mobility and side-lane pressure to create picks and map tempo, preventing Kennen from grouping effectively in teamfights.
