Kennen is bulky HP wise for an AP character. Also given the fact that energy regenerates a lot faster than mana, this makes his laning extremely strong verses squishier mana reliant champions since he has a spammable poke that must be respected since proccing all 3 marks after level 3 is not that difficult of a task.

Thunder rush is probably one of the strongest farming/escape tools for an AP carry given how spammable it is along with the fact that it offers resists on activation which just adds to his tankiness.

His ultimate has such a large AOE for its influence in a team fight thanks to the hard CC that saying that it takes a lot of coordination to use it is quite an overstatement.

Overall, Kennen has been an extremely strong champion for a while. Sustainable pokes, escapes, and farming without worry of running out of mana longterm for early game and ridiculously powerful AOE utility lategame while retaining good damage makes him quite powerful overall.
