Abilities
Mark of the StormWR
Passive - Mark of the Storm

Innate: Kennen's abilities apply a stack of Mark of the Storm to enemies hit for 6 seconds, refreshing on subsequent applications and stacking up to 3 times.

The third stack against a target consumes them all to stun them for 1.25 seconds and restore 25 energy. The stun duration is reduced to 0.5 seconds if this occurs on the same target again within 6 seconds.

Slicing Maelstrom can apply only up to 3 stacks on a target.

Thundering ShurikenWR

Electrical SurgeWR
Ability 2 - Electrical Surge
Cost: 40 Energy
CD: 12 / 10 / 8 / 6
Cast Time: 0.25

Passive: Kennen's basic attacks on-attack generate a stack of Electrical Surge, stacking up to 4 times. At 4 stacks, his next basic attack on-attack is empowered to consume all stacks on-hit to deal bonus magic damage and apply a stack of Mark of the Storm.

Bonus Magic Damage: 55 / 65 / 75 / 85 (+ 0% bonus AD) (+ 30% AP)
Magic Damage: 70 / 100 / 130 / 160 (+ 80% AP)

Active: Kennen sends out a surge of electricity that deals magic damage to all nearby enemies afflicted by Mark of the Storm.

An nearby enemy with Mark of the Storm is required to cast this ability. The target does not have to be visible to be targeted by this ability.

Ability 3 - Lightning Rush
Cost: 100 / 95 / 90 / 85 Energy
CD: 7.5 / 7 / 6.5 / 6

Active: Kennen turns into lightning for 2 seconds, becoming unable to declare basic attacks but gaining 100% bonus movement speed, doubled to 200% during the first 0.5 seconds. He deals magic damage to enemies he passes through, reduced to 50% against minions, and restores 40 energy upon damaging at least one enemy.

Magic Damage: 70 / 120 / 170 / 220 (+ 70% AP)
Minion Damage: 35 / 60 / 85 / 110 (+ 35% AP)
Bonus Attack Speed: 50 / 60 / 70 / 80%

Lightning Rush can be recast after 0.5 seconds, and does so automatically after the duration.

Slicing MaelstromWR
Ability 4 - Slicing Maelstrom

Lightning Rush

  • Base damage increased from 60/110/160/210 to 70/120/170/220.
Patch 5.1cBuff

You know when you shuffle your feet and then touch a door handle? That little static shock is what playing Kennen has been feeling like lately. Not ideal. We’re buffing his base stats as well as his damage and cooldown so he can really bring the tempest.

Stats

  • Base armor increased from 40 to 43.
  • Base attack damage increased from 58 to 62.

Electrical Surge

  • On-hit base damage increased from 35/45/55/65 to 45/55/65/75.

Lightning Rush

  • Cooldown reduced from 9/8/7/6 seconds to 7.5/7/6.5/6.
Patch 5.0cNerf

His AOE damage has been through the roof lately. We’re adjusting the numbers to make sure he’s consistent with his opponents.

Lightning Rush

  • Base damage reduced from 70/125/180/235 to 60/110/160/210.
  • Bonus movement speed reduced from 110% to 100%.

  • On-hit AP ratio increased from 25% AP to 30%.
Patch 3.3Buff

Slicing Maelstrom

  • Cooldown reduced from 100/90/80 seconds to 80/75/70.
Patch 2.6Change

Kennen is a safe and powerful pick who can use his range, reliable crowd control and high mobility to bully melee champions. We want to provide some counterplay for his opponents so we are shifting his power.

Thundering Shuriken

  • Base damage changed from 85/140/195/250 to 75/140/205/270.

Electrical Surge

  • Base damage reduced from 60/95/130/165 to 60/90/120/150.
Patch 2.5Buff

We believe that Kennen is close to having a healthy presence in the metagame, but he has yet to make an impact in high-level play. We're amping up his laning phase by increasing his base AD and increasing the bonus movement speed gained from Lightning Rush.

Stats

  • Base attack damage increased from 52 to 58.

Lightning Rush

  • Bonus movement speed increased from 100% to 110%.
Patch 2.4bBuff

The Heart of the Tempest is too soft and in need of a jolt. We’re giving him a few small bonuses to charge up his laning power. This should electrify Kennen’s presence in the Baron lane.

Thundering Shuriken

  • Base damage increased from 75/130/185/240 to 85/140/195/250.

Electrical Surge

  • On-hit base damage increased from 10/20/30/40 to 25/35/45/55.
  • On-hit bonus AD ratio increased from 60% bonus AD at all ranks to 70/80/90/100%.
  • On-hit AP ratio increased from 20% AP to 25%.

Lightning Rush

  • Bonus attack speed increased from 40/50/60/70% to 50/60/70/80%.
Patch 2.3Buff

Thundering Shuriken

  • Base damage increased from 65/120/175/230 to 75/130/185/240.

Electrical Surge

  • Cooldown reduced from 15/12/9/6 seconds to 12/10/8/6.
Patch 2.1Nerf

Electric ninja rat too strong, especially as a lane bully and burst mage. We’re tuning him down across the board.

Stats

  • Base attack damage reduced from 58 to 52.
  • Base movement speed reduced from 335 to 330.

Electrical Surge

  • Cooldown increased from 12/10/8/6 seconds to 15/12/9/6.

Lightning Rush

  • Base damage reduced from 85/140/195/250 to 70/125/180/235.
  • AP ratio reduced from 80% AP to 70%.

Slicing Maelstrom

  • Base damage reduced from 35/70/105 to 30/60/90.
  • AP ratio reduced from 20% AP to 15%.
Patch 2.0New

Kennen added to Wild Rift

In the space between a lightning flash and a thunderboom, one yordle stands as the most senior member of the Kinkou Order. Dedicated to preserving the sacred balance that surges through Ionia, Kennen uses his centuries of knowledge to protect the world he’s come to love. But as the Heart of the Tempest, he also possesses the devastating power of the storm—and he’s not afraid to use it.
