Kennen

Kennen is one of the weakest champs in the game right now.

He runs out of energy in one spell combo, then just sits there useless for the next 30 seconds waiting for his energy to recharge. He has the worst energy recovery of any energy champ. His spell damage is a joke. His stun is very short lived and difficult to . He needs to be on top of his enemy to deal damage, but he can't deal any damage if he builds tanky.

Overall his mechanics are just bad. He has not been touched balance wise or visually in years. This champion is one of the top ones in desperate need of a remake.

i'm hopeful that the reason he's not gotten any sort of texture updates for VU love is that he's slated for a more full rework. He got nerfed pretty hard after that period in, what, Season 2? where he was pretty dominant in either mid or top. Now, his CC is unreliable, his damage is weak, and his poke really isn't that good anymore. Not to mention a couple QoL changes he could use (like not charging him the energy/cd of W if the mark disappears off a target or the target gets just out of range during the cast animation, or making it so a lucky stun/silence can't cancel his ult during the very brief channel it apparently has).

oh and the most ridiculous thing of all about this champ, is that his W does only half damage to minions. Most other champs can farm better with one ability than Ken can farm with two.
