Teemo vs Kennen

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Teemo's ranged poke and (Q) blind to pressure Kennen and deny him safe autos early.
Control side-lane paths with (R) traps to limit Kennen's mobility and flank angles, aiming to prevent his teamfight impact.
Prioritize lane control and poke to avoid giving Kennen a passive scaling window or easy mark stacks.

Trading pattern

Trade in short bursts, timing (Q) to blind Kennen before he can retaliate with autos or (W) enhanced attacks.
Avoid extended trades where Kennen can stack marks and threaten stuns; reset after poking.
Punish (E) cooldown by stepping forward for trades when he loses mobility and escape options.

Danger windows

Beware when Kennen has stacked marks and (R) ready, as he can stun and burst quickly in short trades.
Avoid extended trades when (Q) is down, as Kennen can punish Teemo's weaker auto damage.
Be cautious if Kennen uses (E) aggressively without vision, as he can engage or escape and set up stuns.

Early game

Start with aggressive short trades using (Q) blind to negate Kennen's auto damage and poison autos for chip damage.
Use (W) to maintain spacing and avoid (E) engage attempts.
Place (R) traps in brush and river entrances early to control Kennen's movement and punish his all-in attempts.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) traps to control side-lane paths and retreat routes, forcing Kennen into unfavorable fights.
After first damage item, increase poison auto pressure and blind timing to make trades more punishing.
Respect Kennen's level 6 (R) area stun threat and avoid grouping or extended trades near choke points.

Win conditions

Win by consistently poking with poison autos and blinding Kennen's key autos to deny him effective trades.
Establish a strong (R) trap network to control Kennen's side-lane movement and punish his attempts to flank or escape.
Force Kennen into unfavorable fights by exploiting his (E) cooldown and avoiding grouped positions to minimize his teamfight impact.
