EPTSuffice to say I'm using Salce's build with the build order discussed in this thread because of CDR runes. makes harassment so much better and there is rarely a time where I don't absolutely own the lane.
He's quickly becoming my favorite champion

Or is that just me ._.? if you like kennen I'd also like to suggest trieing out the other cool AP heroes, Lux, Kassadin and Anivia, they are now the light of my day instead of Kennen. :D | ||

But yeah, using his ult is like knowing when to use fiddle's ult or twitch. Have to use it at a time where everyone is fighting and you can just go in, do your job, get the fuck out, and then start chicking shurikens and w'ing. | ||

I'll usually only use it if Itls like the last skill i can use to get a kill off of someone who's running OR if thre's a massive teamfight and people need the stuns. Stuns are so big with the ult it's insane how it can change a teamfight. But yeah, using his ult is like knowing when to use fiddle's ult or twitch. Have to use it at a time where everyone is fighting and you can just go in, do your job, get the fuck out, and then start chicking shurikens and w'ing. I've had some pretty epic R's. My all-time favorite was when I had just hit 6 in lane. I was at tower, typing something to teammates, and accidentally hit R while chat wasn't opened. The lane was semi-pushed, so the enemy laner could see me, but was nowhere near me. They were like "WTF?" | ||

Lux is such a good character it isn't even funny. You can carry a team so well as her just by setting your team up with kills and putting out surprising burst at the same time. I would also add Malzahar do that list as he just always seems to start snowballing at lev13 for me without fail. I seriously need to purchase him but he does so well I almost feel as guilty as playing Kennen.

If I were to attempt to balance him I would say that his Q and W have to be adjusted so that his Q does slightly more damage with his W doing slightly less. His passive needs to charge his attack something like every 8 or 10 attacks rather than the 4 (I think it's 4?). But he is an insanely fun character to play because he is broken :D *edited because I said his E instead of W... | ||

Kennen is a lot like Fiddle in that if you don't know where he is he can zoom out and destroy you. If you're getting hosed by him, buy a negatron item (FoN, Veil, and QSash are all good) and some wards. | ||

Kennen likes to lightning rush -> ulti 1v5 (sometimes his allies are near him as well). MRes helps survive stunts like these. Kennen uses quite a bit of energy. If you are already limited by energy regen then CDR is useless. | ||

One thing to note is that W has a channel time -- you need significant CDR before you can double-W (basically, you need an item or blue buff, even with runes/masteries). So the CDR is fine, but not as big a deal as it could be. | ||

I swapped away from Kennen because after the easy mode 1700 rating climb he becomes less viable due to teams knowing they can actually silence and kill him before he can pull of a succesfull ulti (which is why alot of players vow by zhonya's on him first) Hes not OP unless your shit, if you've played Kennen you know how to fight him, that being said his lane dominance is quite high, comparable to Mordecaisers, however suprisingly enough gets outdone by Morgana. if she hits Q once you die if you hit q 10 times she'll be like "lol, I got spellvamp, bitch" The game is moving away from the AOE ult thing and Kennen is gonna turn out to be less interesting unless AOE gets a buff again. That said I understand how you guys feel that he is OP with how easy it is to hit stuns even with no skill. | ||

On the subject of builds, while zhonya's is pretty good, you can also go Rylai (HP) -> Abyssal (MR) -> GA (or any other armor item you like) and be almost an offtank as Kennen. You don't hit as hard, of course. If you're worried about silence (or CC in general), you can do merc treads -> void staff instead of sorc boots/guise -- you'll kill squishies slower, but be better against tanks, and resist CC. | ||
