Introduction
Aye, and welcome to my Kennen build. This build is based around Solo Top or Mid lane, and I wouldn't suggest it for a duo lane. It gives a mix of high damage and survivability. Please not that this is my first build, and I will try to update it, constructive criticism would be appreciated.
I will add a banner, as soon as I can make/find one.
I always start of with
Thundering Shuriken for the cheap poke, and the ability to check brushes easily with a well aimed shot. Try to poke your enemy out of the lane with it, if possible to deny him farm. Also useful if you didn't manage to last hit, and the minion is almost dead. I max this first.
At level 2 you should pick
Electrical Surge, for initial poke caused by the passive. Every fifth auto attack you should aim at the enemy champion, for initial magic damage based on your attack damage. Combined with
Lightning Rush it's extremely powerful for farming. Max this second.
I pick
Lightning Rush at level 3, and let it there. The movement speed boost is nice, and it's great for farming. Also worth remembering is that it gives you extra Armor and Magic Resist, and it can potentially save you from
Karthus's
Requiem, or any other deadly spell in sight.
Kennen's Ultimate is godlike in teamfights, being able to stun an entire team at max rank. It can also save you in those times when you need your stun to get away, but you can't get three marks without it. Think of it like a mix between
Fiddlesticks's
Crowstorm and
Amumu's
Curse of the Sad Mummy, in that you both deal significant damage and apply crowd control effects to everyone around you.
When a teamfight initiates, try to poke with
Thundering Shuriken and
Electrical Surge, saving
Slicing Maelstrom until you know you're going to hit at least three enemy champions. Because of the high energy cost, I would suggest saving
Lightning Rush in case you need to use your ult, or suddenly need to escape.
In lane try to harrass as much as possible with
Thundering Shuriken and
Electrical Surge, if you can harrass them out of the lane, denying them experience, that's good, but focus on last hitting, it will pay off late game.

At level 2 you should pick

For items, I start off with a
Doran's Shield, and try to stay in lane until I can afford a
Needlessly Large Rod. After that, I try to rush Mercury Threads before completely finishing my Rabbadon's Deathcap. After that, I go for a
Rylai's Crystal Scepter for the survivability, and the passive slow. Then I go for a
Guardian Angel, an extra life every five minutes, is not bad, plus it gives you lot of defense. If the game is not yet finished, I build
Zhonya's Hourglass, use it with your ult on, stunning everyone in reach while not taking damage.
These are the items I always build, the rest is situational, depending on the enemy team, and how well you're doing.
Rabbadon's Deathcap For the high amount of Ability Power plus the passive.
Rylai's Crystal Scepter The main item of this build, high survivability, decent amount of AP and a passive slow.
Other than that, the most is situational. If the enemy team has no crowd control, you won't need Mercury's Threads and
Sorcerer's Shoes would be a btter choiche. Same goes for the rest of the items, however I would focus on pure AP, not so much on cooldown reduction, and obviously not, mana.
This are items you can buy if the game lasts for longer than usual, and you got lots of gold. I would suggest a
Will of the Ancients, or if you got enough gold, a Lichbane. If you know the game is going to last even longer, you could get a
Rod of Ages. If you for example, got
Sorcerer's Shoes instead of Mercury Threads, you could get a
Moonflair Spellblade.

Luxury Items
This are items you can buy if the game lasts for longer than usual, and you got lots of gold. I would suggest a




I take pretty standard AP Caster runes, focusing on a mix between survivability and damage, at all stages of the game.
Greater Mark of Magic Penetration for the extra damage it gives you late game.
Greater Seal of Armor for survivability.
Greater Glyph of Magic Resist also for survivability.
Greater Quintessence of Ability Power for the extra damage troughtout the whole game.




For Summoner Spells, I like to take
Flash
Ignite, both Solo Top and Mid. If you know you're going to have a 1v2 lane top, I would suggest either
Flash
Cleanse or
Flash
Teleport. If they got much CC, I would go for
Cleanse, but if they have a lot of pushing power, but lack CC, go for
Teleport.
Great for escaping, still post nerf.
Can't say no to extra damage!
Yet another great escape spell.
Get back to your lane in no time!
Chase or Escape.
78 more Ability Power at level 18? Yes please!
May I remind you that Kennen uses Energy?
If you feel you need this, you're doing something wrong!
This got nerfed too bad, and to top it off, you're not even a support champion!
