Guide to Synergizing Kennen and Jinx

Tips for Playing as Kennen with Jinx

You can land an initial Mark of the Storm debuff on an opponent with Thundering Shuriken, and then add to it with Electrical Surge.

Lightning Rush can be used to initiate fights with its Energy return component, allowing him to use other abilities afterward.

You can stun your opponents by inflicting 3 Marks of the Storm upon them.

Advice to Understand How Jinx Will Play

Rockets aren't always the best choice! Jinx's minigun is incredibly powerful when fully ramped up. Switch to it whenever an enemy champion gets too close.

Jinx's rockets deal full damage to all enemies in the explosion. Use them on minions in lane to hit nearby enemy champions without drawing minion aggro.

When a fight starts try to stay on the edge of fray by poking with rockets and Zap!. Do not run in and unload with the minigun until you feel it is safe.

How to Play with Jinx as Kennen in LoL

Overall, Kennen sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Jinx. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Jinx helps Kennen perform poorer in ranked League games. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is only marginal.

When Kennen plays on the same team as Jinx, he gets a little decrease in his full damage dealt. This change could indicate that Jinx does not help protection for him to dish out more damage or that her presence on the team also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Kennen is played with Jinx on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Jinx.

Additionally, when Kennen plays with Jinx on the same side, he typically takes a little less damage than when he plays alone. Taking not as much damage could mean that Jinx does a decent job of covering Kennen during team fights.

Is Kennen better when played alongside Jinx?

There is no one best synergy for Kennen that will 100% of the time be his best teammate. Yet, Jinx is a very typical teammate for Kennen. By being on the same team as Kennen, she improves their win rate by 0.6% to 49.2%. This clearly indicates that there is not really a strong bond between Kennen and Jinx that results in them performing at the top of their game together than without each other.

Jinx has a greater difficulty than Kennen. That means Kennen players must be careful when enlisting Jinx comrades to play with, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to play well with you.

When playing alongside, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to destroy wih physical damage. Combined, these champions can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Conversely, by grouping Kennen and Jinx together, you may not be giving your other allies a great deal of protection for burst damage. Plan to have other champs on your team that nullifies this disparity in this pairing's capabilities.

Regardless of your Jinx ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
