One playmaking LoL top laner shapes as MSI 2023’s must-ban champ after opening games

Today marked the start of the 2023 Mid-Season Invitational and the first set of games between G2 and LOUD and DFM and PSG Talon did not disappoint. But there was one small but deadly League of Legends champion who has already clocked up a 100 percent appeance on the banned champion list: Kennen.

In League Patch 13.5, Kennen received quite a few buffs to Thundering Shuriken (Q), which increased its damage and lowered its cooldown, and Lightning Rush (E), which increased the percentage of damage done to minions.
