Singed vs Kennen

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use wave control and proxy pressure to force Kennen into awkward farm or rotations, denying his poke advantage.
Manage lane tempo to avoid giving Kennen safe ranged poke windows and prevent him from stacking marks freely.
This is a control vs teamfight matchup where Singed must disrupt Kennen's ranged poke and flank potential.

Trading pattern

Engage trades by making Kennen chase through your (Q) to maximize damage and disrupt his spacing.
Use (W) to ground Kennen before (E) to lock him in place and follow up with (E) for bad positioning.
Avoid trading when (R) is down as you lose durability and speed needed to survive Kennen's poke and stun stacks.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Kennen has multiple stun marks stacked and (R) ready, as he can quickly lock you down.
Avoid extended fights when your (R) is down, as you lack the durability and speed to escape Kennen's burst.
Watch for (E) cooldown; when down, he is more vulnerable to all-ins or ganks, so play more aggressively then.

Early game

Focus on controlling the wave and forcing Kennen to choose between farm loss or taking poison damage early.
Avoid extended stationary trades where Kennen can stack marks and poke safely.
Use (W) to ground Kennen and prevent his (E) escape or engage attempts in early skirmishes.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to gain speed and durability, enabling deeper pressure and forcing Kennen into bad rotations.
After your first AP bruiser or tank item, pressure waves harder to absorb Kennen's poke and maintain poison uptime.
Respect Kennen's level 6 (R) area stun and flank angles by avoiding grouped positions and timing your engages carefully.

Win conditions

Win by disrupting Kennen's normal lane patterns through proxying and wave control, forcing him into inefficient farm or rotations.
Use (W) plus (E) to punish Kennen's mobility and force him to walk through poison for damage.
Reach mid-game with your first AP bruiser/tank item and (R) active to survive fights and create chaos in teamfights, zoning Kennen and his team.
