I feel kennen is in a super weak spot... considering Xerath, Zilean and other mages... your poke is pretty much shit, his ability to clear wave is risky as fuck and also weak, and the amount of CC he can provide is also... stupidly weak.

One of his strenghts was that unlike other mages he doesn't use mana, but lately we have all this amazing mana items (forbidden idol, chalice, tear, roa) all of them super decent items that you can pick early, so this is no longer a strength. The rest of his abilities are pretty much outdated and weak overall... yeah he can stun you, but zilean can potencially have a 1.8 AP ratio  nuke with a 1.1 AoE (huge AoE by the way) stun. Xerath can stun you for up to 1.75 seconds... with only 1 ability (he doesn't need an entire combo) or to commit in any way) etc.

unless kennen's team is way ahead... doesn't he feel a little to weak? I always feel super useless without my ult, and even then I feel I could just pick other champions that can also initiate or disrupt  like orianna, zilean, etc
