He might be good right now because his first buy is usually zhonyas to give him power with his ult, at the same time it also helps him against assassins. I just played a game with him and managed to win a multitude of teamfights just because i could ult at the right time, if i was anyone else we surely would have lost (kog pls)
does anyone else think of him to be a good pick? or am i just dumb?
Agent Ape1 votesHe is pretty good right now, but a situation pick imo.
ll League God ll1 votesI prefer him as an AD Champ because his Es hit is obsurd... Him with high attack speed can shell out some serious damage.
Sure his AP ratios go to hell, but they still offer him tons of mobility, and tons of CC
If kennen is rushing zhonyas, hes probably not a good kennen btw

Mhmm. You're probably right. I might agree. Zhonya's stats are pretty nerfed. You should not require it to survive your first teamfights assuming your targets are stunned and you're close enough for your team to follow up on your cc.
Needing Zhonyas right away is a misconception.
I prefer Abyssal Sceptar for serious mid game burst +ap dmg mitigation, or Rylias for utility/hp against AD champs.

Kennen shouldnt be going all in till enemys are below 50% anyway because of the gaps in his kit after hes burned his energy down.
Hes not one of those 100-0 champs. Hes a poke / CC till you get your opening in their gameplay, then cut them down. Too many people are trying to make these season 2 and season 3 plays not realizing how much league has changed
Sohleks1 votesI Kennen ult in range of my allies to follow up whether it is peel or needed as engage... generally...

is still a very early item rush and should always be your first or second item (depending on the matchup) Usually for me, I'll get Zhonyas if I'm up against an AD champion or get 
if I'm facing an AP champion, but either way I'll get those 2 items as my first 2 items. In some cases if you are facing a very tanky opponent that doesn't have as much damage threat, I could see you going for 
into Zhonyas to help fight their MR.
Also he can easily 100-0 people...sure not tanks but you shouldn't be worried about them as Kennen. He doesn't need to wait until the enemy is low or need to poke before going in, the only thing he needs is some one with a decent initiation. Kennen's ultimate isn't as good as a starting initiation as some might think, it's usually a good follow-up initiation and that is why it's strong.
on topic tip: Also as Kennen you should always Max W first. No matter what build/style (AP, or AD Kennen) or whatever, it's generally best to max W since it makes your mid game team fighting very strong.
Sohleks1 votesKennen is da bomb, but yes he is situational.
I find him most effective against the least tanky teams; then your aoe is more closer to hardcarrying. Plus your existence has an even greater psychological effect on their coordination.
I like to buy rylias to give him utility outside ult and deterrence against split pushers that want to pressure you (if you play him top)
Ruin Lance1 voteskennen is definitely a strong pick
