Yorick vs Kennen Counter Pick

Kennen’s 550 attack range against 175 sets the terms of the first six levels, and Yorick owns no dash to shorten it. What he owns instead is a passive that fights without him: Mist Walkers rise from graves and swarm forward regardless of how much poke has landed on their summoner. Across 271 games on 16.13.1 the record ends at 56.5% for Yorick, an Easy rating.

The supporting numbers:

• Kennen finishes on 2,246 health, well under the 2,588 Yorick reaches at the same level.
• His 48 base attack damage is low even for a mage, so farming under pressure costs him time.
• Energy replaces mana, meaning Lightning Rush is available often but never free of the fight it starts.

Mark of the Storm is the thing to play around: three applications stun, and Lightning Rush passing through a wave can supply one without a direct cast. Slicing Maelstrom then deals its damage over a duration rather than instantly, which is where Dark Procession earns its cooldown — a wall between Kennen and his exit keeps him inside the Maiden’s range. Mourning Mist reduces armor and speeds summoned units toward the marked target, and against 29 base armor that reduction bites quickly. Yorick is rated 6 in difficulty, Kennen 4.
