"- AP/lvl Glyphs are better" Yes, I will change that

"- Max 1 skill at level 9 and another at level 13" I find I like it better when I level them both at the same time so I can have good sustained damage instead of a ton of damage with one skill but no damage with the other one. I will try that, though, and see how I like it.

"- I find Improved Recall a measly choice..." Well my choices are either 3% less death time or 1 second less on my recall. I chose that one because what if I am recalling in a bush with low hp while an enemy is trying to find me? My chances of recalling before they find me are higher. What am I going to do with 3% less death time? if I am dead for 100 seconds, I will actually be dead for 97 seconds instead. not a big difference...

"- Your masteries section mentions that you start with a Doran's Shield which I don't see anywhere." Thanks for pointing that out, I didn't see that there. I used to start with Doran's Shield but I changed it so I must have forgotten to change that part

"- Maybe add some general things about Warding, last-hitting minions and what to do when your jungler comes to gank." and "- You could also write some words about AD Kennen, and explain why you think AP is better." Those are some good ideas, I will add those sections in as soon as I can.


Thanks for all the advice, fixing these things should keep me occupied for a while :D

thanks!

Yes, maybe leveling Lightning Rush higher against someone like Karthus might be a good idea, but with my play style, I usually like to be more of a passive player instead of aggressive. So in order to harass, I try to use range to my advantage and throw out shurikens all day. Because of this play style, I don't get harassed all that often and I get all the sustain I need from Hextech Revolver. Therefore, I can level up my damage more as opposed to a defensive spell like Lightning Rush. If you feel that you are getting harassed, though, you could have more of an aggressive play style and you should probably level it more than just level one.

What I try to do with my ult zhonya combo is this: use Lightning Rush, activate my ult, hit W, then activate zhonyas when people start to focus me. I kind of like your idea though. It makes a lot of sense and you will be sure to hit EVERYONE with your W instead of just hoping that most of the enemy has Mark of the Storm on them. I am just worried about activating Slicing Maelstrom too late. example - some of their team is already dead so it won't have as much of an effect or some of your team is dead when you could have saved them if you had just activated it earlier. I am going to try this and see what I like better, but thanks for the criticism!

I have also tried leveling it to levels 2 or 3, but in the end I have come to the conclusion that it just isn't worth it.



I've played Kennen for quiet some time now and i think it depends on who you're up against.
If you're up against for example Karthus in mid, a higher leveled "E" can be really helpfull not to die to his Ultimate after u killed him. Same thing with Vlad. Don't ever underestimate that bonus MR and Armor it gives especially in early levels.
I also really like it against Ryze or Morgana cause you can lower the dmg while beeing snared by runeprison or dark binding (although one should avoid that anyway as u mentioned ;) )

Another thing i'm not completly sure about is you're timing of Zonias. I normally lightningrush into the enemy team, hit as many as possible than activate "W" so everyone i hit gets a second Mark and than hit "R" and Zonias. So every hit of ult will be a stun and although i'm unable to move it might hit a second time as they're stunned anyway. If u Lightningrush in, and activate R/Zonias, they might just walk out your Ult while you're shining golden, as your ult won't hit for the stun immediatelly.
It's just what i do normally and it works out pretty well for me ;)
And always make sure if a teamfight is coming up, to have your "w" loaded. That one mark can make the difference between a stun and an escaping enemy^^

I really like the rest of your build and i'll give you a +1 :)
