    or I play morgana who is the fattest mid champion ever. she just does not die

    I agree with that. Morgana counters everything.
    I played a Kayle vs Kassadin mid today, it came out surprisingly good. We didn't kill each other(they had a jungle we didn't) and I won on CS. If only bot and top would stop dying.

    Edit: Annie absolutely wrecks the shit out of Kennen after six(but then she does that to almost anybody). Zilean makes Kennen cry up top.
    Many AP champs can deal with Kennen, but the AD ones sure have issues.

    I can zone out morgana with Xin Zhao. Start boots. Wait till she misses (you dodge) her bind. Then beat on her. Rinse and repeat as necessary.

    Y, except, that's not how a Morgana plays vs Xin Zhao. Charge, hit shield, bind/soil from point blank so you won't miss. You regen from the spell vamp. GG.

    I remember that from the TreeEskimo streams! You are probably right, I've never personally laned Morg vs Trynd top, but in those two games where tree was on both sides it seemed that way.

    Hm should I play more jungle Malphite or try out The New and Improved Ryze tonight?

    Actually I suppose the question is, will the people I'm matched with LET me pick Ryze or am I going to have to be the jungler and initiator :(

    How many of you suggesting Kennen counter-strategies have played against an actual defensively-specced, Doran's Shield, "5th auto + W" Kennen?

    I played as Kennen in a similar style for ~200 games.

    Olaf is the only problem character I can recall.

    Kennen hard-counters Mordekaiser. oh, and the people recommending champs like Annie and Zil are way off base. Kennen zones them effortlessly. Champs with hard CC are no problem as long as you're running cleanse+flash, which you should be. Actually, one of my favorite plays against an AP lane opponent was to buy two MR cloaks on the first trip back... watching Zilean realize that his double-bomb now does nothing to you is priceless.

    Actually, thinking about my Kennen playstyle makes me realize what a total d-bag I must've been to play against.

    I disagree zeeny. I've seen Guardsman Bob do it before too. If morg really wants to PB with bind then I will just beat on her right there. And she'll have to get in the middle of my creeps to do it. I also think you're overestimating how much damage black shield will eat early game.

    At least Varega and I share the delight that is protecting your friends while being an unkillable bastard.

    Black Shield will only mitigate the charge damage, and you have to be bloody fast/predict it to get the shield off in time. Xin Zhao with his W up can attack so fast he may just knock you up before you can get out of melee range. Even if you both lose 300 health each, his capacity to regenerate health will far outdo Morgana's at level 3-5. I guess the only way to make sure is to go out there and punch some mans though.

    morgana doesn't need to use her Q until it's obvious xin is coming at you in which case you shield his slow then Q him right in the face. post level 5 there is no way to stop morg from farming the entire creep wave in one W which also heals her like 200 health.

    I assume this only works on morganna bot.

    Xin is so good right now. pretty much any popup is an uncleansable stun. Shen plus a warwick or xin is an incredible initiate. Malphite's a close third.

    There's something about hearing from your teammates 'Oh, I knew I could dive that guy, because you said your ult was ready' on shen that is super satisfying.

    If Morg does that, she has no bite on her combo, which means Xin should rushdown on her without fear of taking large amounts of damage back.

    Xin should be pretty healthy at all times, since he can just autoattack without Morg really being able to do anything to stop him.

    As for Xin counters, Ashe does all right. The slow means that Xin is only getting 1 hit off the charge, after which she gets out of melee range and he can't catch her, then walks back to the line taking harass all the way back. Then she just uses her range and volley to try and whittle him down.

    I find my average gain is down about 15 IP per win, and I'm gaining a tad more for losses.

    I'm sure Riot will get it right at some point so I'm not going to get really worked up about it. So far with the 10 win IP boost my net is way positive.

    Need to get better at those last hits! Should never miss one if you used Transfusion.

    If Leblanc is getting you down, first buy should have been Negatron. Run her out of mana while you efficiently get health back.
