Fiora
One of the very few hard losing matchups Kench has, and by far the worst. There honestly isnt a surefire way to kill her in a duel, especially early. Depending on the skill diff, a lvl 1 duel is possible. Other than that, try not to fight until you get Bami's, and only if you are even or ahead on gold.
Champion Build Guide
Kench has an unmatched Lvl 1, and an even stronger lvl 2. Not even champs like Darius can beat him, due to his passive amplified autos doing mad damage, and Q acting as a stun. Works best if you're bottom side nexus, and only when the enemy has to leash but you don't. Wait in tri bush until enemy laner attempts to return to lane after leaashing. Q as soon as range permits. Auto and Q a bunch. Most champions will die. In some scenarios, you can walk right up to enemy red and kill the jungler too, if the leash is short and for some reason the laner doesn't walk through tri.
Q vs W at 3 stacks:
If range permits, always prioritize W over Q, and place the swallowed victim where they don't want to be. Q when you can't W.
Combo:
Q, 3 autos, W (hold in mouth until Q up), repeat until enemy is deceased.
Dealing with enemy Ganks:
depending on the situation, you can 1v2, especially early on. If not, simply run away while pressing E. You root yourself when you Q so its not always the best idea.
E usage:
You want to press E a little after halfway through an engagement if it will end before your sheild runs out. In prolonged fights, you want to use E as infrequently as possible with your shield still being killed before it times out.
Ult usage:
At Lvl 1, you ult serves only as a tool to get behind the enemy laner, often when they are attacking your turret. At Lvl 2 and 3, you can also use your ult for map control.
1v2 engagements:
Because Kench can chain CC one enemy while autoing the other, 1v2s are a strength of Kench. If you're a little fed, go for it.
W usage:
not to shoot minions at enemy champs. Its 100 mana for like 10 damage. You can use it for anything else, even securing CS, but its a horrible poke. If enemy is playing behind minions, you can pick up a minion with your w and q through the empty space.
