I heard AD 
Kennen was the new Fotm in Europe or something. And yet something is bothering me about it:
They're building a squishy, glass cannon Kennen.
Being an avid Kennen player and such, blah blah blah theory crafting blah, I don't get why they aren't using Guardian Angel for survivability, and instead rush Phantom Dancer > Infinity Edge. I mean, WHAT THE FU-??? You max W first, but you don't get AD items to achieve the greatest synergy with it?
Second, I was browsing on Solomid the other day and I saw a guide maxing Q over E. WHY YOU NO GET RESISTS? You aren't even building a
Gunblade for the AP >:O and you max it second? And they aren't building Health to use the Armor/Mres from Lightning Rush. Instead, they build more resistances, despite the diminishing returns...
So your final build makes a 2000 HP Kennen who runs directly into the middle of the fight, does minimal damage, and dies from some Ryze or Annie burst. So much for theory crafting :/

30 minute wonders like that are fairly common.
And I saw LOD's build on solomid, part of the reason I wrote this rant.
Just did a glass cannon game, early game sucked but once I got PD and zerkers, i could pretty much out dps their ryze.
Now I think AD kennen sacrifices early game power for late game assassinations and utility :p
AD
Actually looks very similar to what I have haha :D
Really? I knew it was high, but I thought
It is a big deal, and actually
Base health is meh, armor is high, mr is standard. With
Btw, where do you get this info? :/
Let me explain one thing: GA was to keep the utility on his ult. Wit's end was for Mr/attack speed, and I was attempting to reach 2.5, but was unsuccessful >:
AND YES WRITE AN AD KENNEN GUIDE :O
I said before steroids, as in, before abilities, vaynes is pretty high with tumble+silver bolts.
Twitch's right click damage is ****ing insane, off the charts, but he has a really weak laning phase, and he has no built in defenses, so he is pretty meh overall, needs the stealth rework to be really good.
Kennen is a much safer pick.
Done with my guide btw :)
They aren't building him as a bruiser top. AD carries have pretty much a staple build.
All AD carries are glass cannons. That's just like saying all AD carry builds are glass cannons and they're wrong.
They aren't, because AD carries are able to be glass cannons.
Well the thing about kennen, is that he has the highest pure right click damage potential in the game before steroids (He is 6% behind Vayne while she is using her ultimate, and has more reliable CC and more AA range, and has more burst/trade potential i feel).
Kennen has the best attack speed in the game, in that he only need 206% AtS in order to reach 2.5 attack speed.
Really? I knew it was high, but I thought
Ashe the second fastest ranged ad in the game need 225.
That might not sound like a big deal, but Ashe deals 1021 dps with a standard AD carry build, where as Kennen deals 1119 dps, an almost 10% increase, which is MASSIVE.
It is a big deal, and actually
He has very good base health/armor/mr stats compared to the other AD carries, along with his steroid while using
All of this makes him a great candidate for a full glass cannon build.

Annie needs 306%, she has the worst attack speed.

Also, doesn't your kennen guide have GA/Wit's End instead of health items :s?
Hmm, I think I'll write an AD kennen guide.
And his range is irrelevant since he has to stand in the middle of a group of enemies.
