Can we please talk about Kennen?

For the love of, I've seen so much talk about meddeling with certain champions but can we please talk about the little ninja yordle?

He's had a pretty solid run through season 5 and of corse was a terror back in the day, but his kit is so archaic now and with the changes to AP itemization costs, he's become next to useless. Yes he has one of the most CC heavy ults in the game, but it's next to silly that a squishy mage like him has to charge HEAD INTO the team just to make plays with it.

"But that's what Zhonya's for"

Yes, but now that Zhonya's is FIVE HUNDRED MORE GOLD, it's become even harder for him to even get to that point since we're at this point were AP champions have to either get; A. A ton of assists and farming consecutively and well, or B. Get Kills,; Kennen is not the bursty champion he used to be without Items, which cost a ton of money.

So please, please PLEASE Riot can you please take a look at the little guy, you're focusing so much on the other three ninja's that he is compleatly left in the dark and just feels useless now.
