What most people don't realize is that Kennen is actually pretty mechanically intensive and requires a lot of ingame knowledge to be played correctly. He used to be a dominant pick a few times in the past, but that was almost exclusively in mid to high level play. Pros agree that he's borderline overpowered in teamfights, but he has a few hard counters (namely Lee Sin and Janna, their long distance knockbacks make his life hell). Running out of energy on him is also very punishing, because in order to replenish it he needs to chain combo targets all the time.
