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
Yes they make Shurikens this Small
+ + 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.
(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 Kha'Zix, Zed Shaco or if the ADC is very fed but if not I go DeathCap it's the fastest way to ensure no one can lane safely against you for a while.
(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 Teemo or Cassiopeia running around making your life hell buy it.

- 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.
