Kennen vs Quinn

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Kennen should use his ranged poke and mark stacking to pressure Quinn and avoid giving her free scaling or roam opportunities.
Prioritize controlling lane pressure with ranged harassment and keep (E) ready to escape Quinn's engage or reposition for all-ins.
This is a control vs roam matchup where Kennen must deny Quinn's tempo and force grouped fights to maximize his teamfight impact.

Trading pattern

Trade short-range poke using (Q) and (W) to build mark stacks and stun Quinn when possible.
Punish Quinn when her (E) is down by engaging with (E) and committing to all-ins or extended trades.
Avoid trading when (E) is down or Quinn is behind minions where she can disengage easily with (E).

Danger windows

Be cautious when (E) is on cooldown as Kennen is vulnerable to Quinn's engage and burst.
Avoid grouping in choke points when (R) is available to Quinn to reduce her pick potential.
Ping and punish Quinn's roams after wave crashes to prevent map pressure and loss of lane control.

Early game

Use (Q) and (W) to chip Quinn whenever she steps up for last hits, forcing her to respect your poke.
Keep (E) available to dodge (E) engage or to disengage after trades.
Avoid extended trades before level 6; focus on short poke windows and preserving health for your (R) power spike.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) with good flank or flash angles to threaten kills and force grouped fights.
After first AP item, increase poke pressure and look for kill windows on Quinn when (E) is on cooldown.
Respect Quinn's level 6 (R) roam power by warding and punishing missed waves or failed roams.

Win conditions

Use ranged poke to deny Quinn safe farming and stack marks for reliable stuns.
Preserve health and cooldowns to convert (R) flanks or flash engages into kills or objective fights.
Force grouped teamfights where Kennen's area stun and AP damage excel, minimizing Quinn's side-lane pick threat.
