This is a volatile skill matchup that favors Irelia if you manage your passive stacks and avoid his stuns. Kennen wants to poke you down from range so you're too low to all-in, while you want to wait for him to waste his escape so you can stick to him. In the shorter Mid lane, he has less room to run, which benefits your high mobility.

This is a volatile skill matchup that generally favors Irelia if she manages her passive stacks. Kennen will try to poke you out from range, but you have superior gap-close and kill pressure once you bridge the distance.
