How to Beat Teemo as Kennen (Top)

The Kennen versus Teemo matchup in the top lane is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

The magic damage that Kennen deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Teemo deals primarily magic damage (80.34%), additional magic resistance may be required.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Teemo, ranking 15th (versus 45th for Kennen) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (1.7 versus 2.0) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Kennen Top versus Teemo Top matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Kennen player to maintain constant pressure on Teemo, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
