Kennen rework suggestion

I'm a big fan of the little rat, but I also think his mechanics are a little outdated as the game evolved. So I put my brainstorm here:

passive - every stun now last for 0.7, but no more diminishing.

Q - now procs on-hit items.

w - can now set off a chain reaction on a maximum of two lines, but the secondary lines has half the range.

e - suggestion 1 - duration increased to 3 seconds and kennen can auto-attack. it also gives him some tenacity. e - suggestion 2 - duration increased to 3 seconds and kennen can auto-attack. it also eliminates casting animation .

r - now priorize closest enemies.

result = a lot more fun plays and less ult dependence.

He doesn't need a rework only a slight QoL buff: remove W cast animation, increase energy gain from E. the end.

Kennen just got some buffs and he is being played on eu tournments, so I don't think he need more buffs, I actually think he's a high tier bomb. But that's exactly the problem, riot is making him even more ult dependent and this is both boring for the player and annoying for the enemies.

his last buff was in 4.21. It's great and all, but it doesn't make him any more or less powerful by any means. it simply shifted his powers. the responsiveness "buff" on his w was actually quite a nerf because it goes on cooldown even if the enemy blinks out his w range during that slowish cast time. removing his W cast time and buffing energy would make him less punished. (you can lose an entire fight if you press anything at the wrong time which is completely untrue for any of the other meta champs)

as for your suggestions: his Q's damage is fine. what's the point of on hit effects? His W's range is great and doesn't need a buff. (it's still the responsiveness problem). he doesn't need to auto while Eing because he doesn't need to return as a godly adc. your passive is quite stupid since it implies it's easy to chain stuns early on (which is true if kennen builds AS... again kennen's not an adc because he would be godly).
