Why this duo works

A likely reason this pairing works in low elo is that Nautilus can hold a target while Kennen reaches the fight and stacks Mark of the Storm with his area ultimate. This is a kit-based explanation; the high-elo sample goes the other way.

Playing the duo

Nautilus's crowd control can hold a target in place while Kennen enters with Lightning Rush and lands repeated abilities to trigger Mark of the Storm's stun.

How to play as Kennen

Wait for Nautilus to start the fight before using Lightning Rush and Slicing Maelstrom; his lockdown gives you time to reach the target and add storm marks.

How to play as Nautilus

Engage when Kennen has Slicing Maelstrom ready, then keep your crowd control on the same target so he can land his storm.
