Buy Boots as first item to force him to commit to Coke-Fiend Mode. High Sustaining champs can counter his harass rather easily while Kennen's spells still cost more energy; he can't combo off as easily, and Shuriken is still a skillshot that's subject to being cockblocked by minions.

Oddly enough, all the high sustain champs are usually sent to jungle...So Kennen gets a bad rap of being OP, because many of his counters don't go mid or top anymore.
