Exactly that way I play but I get CDR/lvl glyphs and WoTA before Rylais. Finally someone with the same masteries as well!

Thank You. But I don't think you need WOTA before Rylais though. What's your reasoning behind this?

Sorry for the delay, hopefully I'll make up for it by giving a thorough review. The guide contains a wealth of knowledge and I absolutely love the "How to Stun" and "Initiating tips" sections. I reckon the whole colour text concept needs a rework as it can be irritating to read after awhile. I'll refrain from voting till later.

Powerful Pros /Cynical Cons

Should try -

Quoted:
Code:
[[center]] [[/center]]
- as to bring everything to the middle. You always just check out "Example #1" over at this guide. The first two points of cons are pragmatically repeating oneself, someone who is squishy will clearly be easy/easier to kill so no need to bother with the second point. I don't think "being focused" is really a con though as all carries should be focused. I reckon a more appropriate con would be that he can be shut down by champions like Lee Sin, Janna etc due to their knock-backs.

Masteries

The Defensive Mastery set-up doesn't match that of the cheat sheet. You take Initiator but don't do so within the cheat sheet? I really dislike the 0/21/9, its not that I don't mind the defensive build its just your missing out on Arcane Knowledge which is vital. If you wanna go defensive set-up why don't you go 9/21/0? As I'm looking at its 2% movement speed & 15 second flash reduction vs 3 AP & 10% Magic Penetration.

Good Hands isn't vital at all, in fact its pretty standard to be passed up. A mastery which only takes effect when you die, in other words a defeatist mastery. Very flawed concept.

Recommended Runes

I was very surprised not to see Greater Quintessence of Spell Vamp included, I suspect you just haven't bought them yet? They're truly fantastic.

What Enemies Bring to the Table

Brand - Sear (his stun) is a skill-shot so its very much possible to avoid it, his ultimate can only bounce between enemy champions or minions so just good positioning will evade the majority of its damage. Later on you can easily win trades with him.

Aesthetics

Think you should avoid the whole red or orange text paragraphs, yeah some colour is nice but this defiantly over-kill. I don't find it that visually pleasing at all.

Ok, Thanks. Yeah, I think 9/21/0 is better on Kennen. I have been testing with it and it is better, I need to change that in the guide when I get a chance.

I don't take Initiator in masteries, I take Enlightenment . I dont't see a mistake with my masteries and cheet sheet, could you verify that again? I have got some complaints on the the too much colour, will fix that asap. Thanks for the review.

I've never played Kennen before always thought he looked cool. But, I ended up buying him and trying this guide. And he was well worth it.
+1, amazing guide.
