How to win lane as Kennen against Quinn · 52.05% win rate over 171 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Both of you are weak level 1 — your single Q poke and her Harrier autos roughly trade, so neither commits without a mark stun or her E up. |
| Level 2 | Kennen | Your second Q point plus Electrical Surge lets you two-mark and threaten a stun if she steps into melee to CS. |
| Level 3 | Kennen | With Q-W online your poke and stun threat own the wave; she has to give up farm or eat a mark chain. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | She has the range and move speed to kite trades with Harrier and reset with E, so without your stun set up you respect and chip. |
| Level 6 | Kennen | Slicing Maelstrom is your spike — E-in and R stun-lock her through the vault and blind, winning any pre-item 2v2 or duel. |
| First item | Kennen | Hextech Alternator/Rocketbelt cashes the R combo into a kill her squishy ranged body can't survive — your peak window. |
| Two+ items | Quinn | She out-scales as a ranged carry: Harrier kite and E knockback perma-shred you once your R is down, so close before two items. |
Quinn's E vault is the whole problem here — it knocks you back and blinds you right when you E-in to start a mark chain, so don't burn Lightning Rush onto her unless her E is down. Sit at max Q range and chip; one Thundering Shuriken plus your Electrical Surge on-hit autos out-trades her Harrier pokes because your magic damage doesn't care about her kite. At 2-3 you can punish her hard: if she steps up to last-hit in melee, a Q plus W stacks two marks and the stun threat alone forces her off the wave.
