Kennen's base health is low. And if he's using E to position, it's a terrible Kennen. His only escape tool is also his pushing tool. Energy is bad late game, as mana is better. If you've ever played Kennen, you'll realize he does have energy issues. Zhonya - Ult is a lot harder to place than realized. Zhonya too soon and you won't hit the maximumu amount of energy, zhonya too late and you'll be screwed. He's vulnerable to hard cc such as Ahri charm, Ryze snare, Swain snare as well. He's very hard to play if you don't understand how to control minion waves, etc. ANY smart player won't get hit by Q's very often. Moreover, his early levels suck dick. He can't 1v1 many champs. For example: He Q's and IF it hits, you use W. Then wait for your W passive. But if you didn't hit your Q/W passive isn't up yet. They can retaliate/your cd's are down for around 8 seconds before you can do anything useful. "Unlimited sustain with hextech" is such a bogus statement that I hate it when people assume that. You get around 12% sv with 1 Q. Say you rank Q first, which btw means your W is on a long cd, and you hit for say 300. That means you get 30 HP for every 4 seconds if you're using your Q every time it's up (which isn't really advisable). That's really nothing. Why don't you try out Kennen, and see his faults before you cry OP more. And I'm going to restate it, but hard cc crushes him. He can't "Overextend out of harm's way." Try it yourself and use Ryze or someone.
