I'd say Kennen is quite OP, because his kit is ridiculously strong. He does not have any weakness in his role. The agument that you need to use ult to have AoE stun is not strong either. Ult gives a huge AoE and it wins team fights in this one second. The cooldown is not short, but it is enough to have ultimate up in almost every team fight so the fact that you use ultimate for AoE stun does not change anything. With Annie or Cassio it at least takes some thinking to use it. With kennen you just rush into team fight spamming all abilities.

I don't play Kennen a lot (I prefer Swain) and I feel I'm pretty weak in terms of understanding this champ. Yet I have not lost only one game with Kennen and carried the team most of the time (even with very stupid mistakes). It's just stupid that he does not have hard counters and can't be really shut down if played correctly. Only LeBlanc can do some work againast him. The problem with her is that even when fed after 20min mark she is far less useful to a team than Kennen.

I think his kit is just way too rounded. He has gap closer, escape, burst, AoE damage, AoE stun, spammable stun, does not run out of mana, does not need farm to be effective. When you build Hextec Revolver (like most people do anyway) he also gains relatively high sustain. Really there aren't many (any?) champs that can actually compare to such kit. He has nearly everything. That's what makes him OP. Not ridiculously OP like some say, but he clearly stands out with very positive match ups.
