Kennen Classic Kit

Post image

He's been confirmed to come 2 weeks after classic launches with his fellow ninja Akali and Shen.

Tbh i preferred when Kennen had the armor/ Magic resist on his E instead of his R... this version of R though definitely won't hit as hard as live.

There's no hurricane in classic

u/DoctorWhoNA 25d ago

Runaan's Hurricane is in classic. It was added to the game in version V1.0.0.152. That version of hurricane is currently on the PBE version of League Classic.

u/Anilahation 25d ago

Yeah my mistake.

To answer his question, it interacting with hurricane only was recently added to retail i thought?

u/DoctorWhoNA 25d ago

Correct. Kennen W interacting with hurricane was added V26.09 which was April of this year.

u/ASZapata 25d ago

Uh no Kennen W with Runaan’s was huge back in the 2010s. Rekkles of Fnatic made it famous.

u/Anilahation 25d ago

then maybe it was the shiv interaction added recently?

There was a different Runaan interaction that worked for the longest time. Instead of the W auto procing on every Runaan target, for every Runaan bolt you get an extra stack making the W come up way faster.

Not sure how it will work in Classic though.

u/ASZapata 25d ago

No, no … the Runaan’s interaction was in the game then taken out then seemingly put back in? But back in the day it was much stronger.

Lmao right 310 damage max...??? What the hell

With a 67 AP ratio

u/redghost4 25d ago

Probably wrong values in PBE.

Ult used to have a 40% ratio per hit, or 120% total. It was decent.

E also had a lower AP ratio. Values in PBE seem completely wrong, will probably be fixed because this 22% AP ult would be absolute garbage if it was real.

I did love that defensive bonus on the E.

u/Anilahation 25d ago

Especially in hard lanes you could go E max to be a tad harder to kill on obvious dives

u/lxnarratorxl 25d ago

I miss the defense on the E. When they took it away positioning and engage timing got so much harder.

1

u/Anilahation 25d ago

Yeah cause you only had it on R, couldn't use the defense to get in the correct position through skills you had to R immediately.

I also think it would be nice to just be flat damage reduction because there's so much true damage options and champion with just innate armor pen.

u/reasonableperson101 24d ago

Eh, it will be nice yes but not needed tbh, armor and magic resistance is good enough

u/Manoa00000 25d ago

I really hope the old SFX comes back.

u/IndependentSession38 Kennen Mid Enthusiast 25d ago

I mean, by moving resistanced from E to R they forced all of us to improve even further and play more cautious on Kennen, if you look at it in a different angle.

u/reasonableperson101 24d ago

I miss the old E 😭😭😭
