Kennen rework

Kennen is a champion very rarely seen with a few appearances within 2015 worlds. Kennen is still a viable pick in certain situations but is not popular especially in low Elo. Kennen is a well designed yordle with some very good skins that is ashame is not being shown off as much as should be. Here are my ideas of what kennens Abilitys should be reworked to please let me know what you think and tell me how you would like Kennem reworked.

Rework abilitys: Q: Kennen bursts into smoke going invisible for 5 seconds.

W: Kennen splits into four mimes doing exactly what Kennen does casts and moves. Kennens clones have 1hp but appear as the same as the real Kennen. Kennens clones do not do damage.

E: Kennen fires his shuriken damaging the enemy one target hit and stunning them for 2 seconds.

R: Kennen knocks back one enemy hit by kennens charged attack knocking them into the direction Kennen is facing.

Q: Kennen bursts into smoke going invisible for 5 seconds.

too much like akali..

Would be useless against AOEs Why even bother? if they're killable in 1 hit....

E: Kennen fires his shuriken damaging the enemy one target hit and stunning them for 2 seconds.

Its exactly like his Q with full passive stacks... Taric does this job better..

R: Kennen knocks back one enemy hit by kennens charged attack knocking them into the direction Kennen is facing.

too much like tristana...

I play kennen too but this doesn't interest me too much.. Sorry..

Yea but his kit is not like a "ninja" in my opinion. Charging in flash R zonyas dosent fit my preferences . It would be nice to see some sort of change in a way that impacts teamfight and more on a stealthy role.

He may be a ninja but he also has to sorta be his own champion.. he's the heart of the tempest. He is filled with boundless energy and uses electrical attacks..

it would be cool to make him more ninja-ish but you cant take out who he is..

the mimes thing.. I do like a bit.. because if kennen is supposed to be as fast as he is.. maybe he can go fast enough to create after images.. (Goku much)

but all of them having 1 HP and not doing damage makes it obsolete to many many champions with aoe abilities.. it's like a skill that doesn't do anything..

Thinking of this ability makes me think of His E when he turns into a ball of lightning going super fast. Now I love his Speed in that... but creating decoys would be fun.. but that seems a little too much..

It's hard to say.. I really like kennen how he is...

TBH, i don't think we should look at Kennen needing a rework to be more as a "Ninja'. His title is Heart of the Tempest and it doesnt sound too stealthy, more like an action packed electric bomb filled with energy ready to go off at any second. Personally i think his current kit is powerful and packed with utlity. Flash+R+Zhonyas isn't all there is to him, regardless of it being a common tactic. I think he's good where he stands. Personally, the only thing i would like to see changed on him would be his visuals (Splasharts, Animations, Model.) A part of the character is how they look, as well.
