Zed
Another champion with killing R's. run exhaust use Ult to disengage if that's not enough you should never really die to these matchups they're only hard because you want to snowball against your matchup
Synergies
Yes they make Shurikens this Small
Your probably asking why Electrocute and not
first of all. None of his abilty go through minions, the damage is useless late. While Electrocute can be proc'd IN THREE ways on Kennen all very easy. I'll go over one way but I will make a Combo's list later in the guide
+
+ Passive AA on W

I don't have anything against Summon Aery but it's just not good in my opionion on champions that don't have DoT like Teemo or Cassiopeia even Singed. You will consistently oneshot people running
and
will help you seal the deal on trades. Your job is killing squishies like the ADC. Don't bother if you can wasting your full burst on Tanks. With the Changes in 8.9 All of Kennens ability excluding his ult will have over 75% AP Ratios so Building AP is now more worth then the Magic Pen build meaning Have fun oneshotting people.
- This is my undisputed first item on Kennen I use to like Protobelt but it doesn't feel good late on Kennen Nashor's outclasses as a wave clear item and a scaling item. Only good thing about it was the wave clear but with AP buffs on W and atk speed changes on E you will one shot minions with the active W after 2 and a half items, with 20% CDR you can also spam spells to clear waves. With Nashor's you will cap at 1.47 atk speed after going through a champion you will have 2.17 atk speed at max rank dueling top laner's with nashor's never felt better... Read title
(2nd Item)
or
With all his ability's now having above 75% AP ratio's excluding his ult building Full AP like Veigar is now very viable in my head. So I usually go Death Cap most of the time and Zhonya's when i'm against a 
(3rd item Above)

(4th Item)
- Anyone building MR will feel your anger.
(5th Item)
or
- let me start with the elephant in the room. You can buy items that can boost your damage significantly like spellbinder or get more CDR but Guardian angel boost your 5th atk damage and give's you a second chance to make your enemy hate there life very useful in last team fights. Adaptive Helm not much to say a Squishy Kennen can't live to get a good ult if they're is a 
-Cost: 60/55/50/45/40 EnergyRange: 950

Each maelstrom hit applies Mark of the Storm, up to a maximum of 3.Successive maelstrom hits against the same enemy deal an additional 10% damage for each hit they've already suffered from this storm.
that's almost never possible always just try to ult the ADC and the rest will follow you will almost always get atleast 2.__________________________________________________________________________________________
- Don't be afraid to use your E offensively and proc electrocute with E+Q+W you win every trade if you get the jump like that
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Don't ult immediately if it wasn't predetermined and it's a skirmish. With buffs and even before you do enough damage and can CC champion without the need of your ult
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Prefer Kennen Mid because you work best with an engager at your side if your playing top in champ select ask someone to play someone tanky.
Pro's
-No mana
-Provides alot of CC
-Can easily proc electrocute

Con's
-If everyone on your team is squishy you will almost never get a good ult in
