Yes they make Shurikens this Small

Hi, My name is Ziggs IGN is 7DBoyz and i'm a Gold Kennen main.. Yes I know but i started playing league in Preseason and I had a 60+ percent winrate. Started in bronze and climbed very easily. Still climbing fairly easy so i'm gonna write this guy about my favorite champion in the game and I hope you guys like it... Also this is my first guide so go easy on me feel free to add me.

Best Runes on Kennen

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.

(GASP NO PROTOBELT WHAT A MONSTER)- After testing I really like Rageblade a

(1st Item) - 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 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.

Some good Memes to help you learn Kennen

-Most people when they play Kennen are too focused on trying to get a 5 man ult 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.
