How to build Kennen?

Hey there, Master Fledgling here.

This will be a brief post because I am up to my eyes in work. Send help.

My first game with Kennen went OK, he has lots of CC, but then I somehow had a second game where I was the only initiator. While Fiddlesticks has his teleport screamer, all you can do is run at the enemy team really fast and get your face mauled. Even with Hourglass, I would die consistently. Perhaps it is too early on to say, but does one build Kennen a little bit tanky to help him survive if he is the only person on the time who can start a teamfight?

Thanks,

-MF

Kennen as an initiator is using the aoe cc. Some people hourglass right away and that doesn't stun anyone, it's like Ezreal running up into the enemy just to ult. Always use W in your ult and if you went in with E hit someone for the max amount of stun potential, especially if you are the only person with big CC potential. Fully charged E passive and landing a Q is also welcome. Hourglass at the last second before you die. If you hourglass very early they will just ignore you. When you look at other initiating mages like Annie Zyra they have innate CC that activates automatically. You just need to work for it a bit more on Kennen.

you build hourglass and rylai's since the slow helps keep them in your ult and the extra HP is nice
