My thoughts on Kennens current state(Just my views don't get pissy)

Kennen in his current state has a decent early game with poke in lane with the poke being ok during the mid to late game unless fed, when he has his ult he gains an above average burst potential as long as he hasn't been shutdown now the issues with him (remember these are my views based on my time maining him I fully accept your opinion but don't be an a**hole about it). Kennen has no real kill potential out of the early game once his ult is down, alot mage champions however have some sort of small but sustained damage once they throw out their initial burst combo to give their enemy the killing blow before they escape or possibly retaliate, AD assassins (Zed, Yasuo, Talon ect.) all have low CD's and auto's, mages like annie with her tibbers AA's, brand with his passive burn, and Azir with his soldiers and so forth. Kennen lacks those things and is either going to 100-0 a guy or die trying and start to get weaker and weaker and weaker before being a non factor in the game besides his CC, to make this harder kennen is very easily kited by mobile champions or champions with strong CC so there are so many matchups that make it damn near impossible to play him and god forbid you come across a team with proper coordination that'll stop you before you even reach the front door. I personally think kennen should be reworked to make him fit in better with the other mage champs of the game and have more options to finish off an opponent than to either hope to insta burst him or hope ignite is up as well as possible change around his E into a dash or blink ability.

As always these are just my opinions based on my view point from playing kennen for so long so feel free to critique my post and tell me why I'm wrong I don't mind just don't immediately start throwing insults and elo's around, that makes you instantly lose all credit.
