Except that you are taking that out of context. Compare Kenny to ther mages:

Kenny needs to hit you 3 times for a 1 second stun. Which means he needs to get a skill shot, and either charge you or hit you with a short ranged attack. (I'll give you the W because that's easy.) So basically he blows his entire combo and gets a 1 second stun at the end of it, if he lands it. If you repeat it (using that "short" cooldown) then the stun is less effective each time. That's obnoxious because you just got hit with his combo and he is going to run out of range.

But let's compare that to: Morgana and Lux. They START their combo with a 2 second snare. Morgana's scales for longer each level she puts into it. Their Snare's do damage, but then they drop the rest of their combo on you. . .all from a safe distance.

Ryze has a snare that starts at 1.2s (longer than Kenny's) and scales up. No skill shot required. His passive does things to his cooldowns, so I won't even bring that up. Again, ussually used at the beginning of his combo, and with a little CDR and levels he can hit you with the snare twice and blast you with his combo all over again.

Annie gets a 2 second stun every 5th attack. No skill shot required. In fact, it's an AOE stun if she uses either Tibbers or her W. Again, opens up with it.

Veigar has a group stun that in a worse case scenario traps you in a confined space. In the best place scenario stuns an entire enemy team for up to 2.5 seconds. While he drops his combo.

So let's stop talking about Kennen's "amazing" stun when just about every other mage has a better one. Let's instead talk about how "awesome" it is that he he doesn't have mana. Which means that using an Archangel's staff is useless for this AP champ. So when other mages are cranking out 700-1200 AP Kennen is settling for 450. When other Mages have a mana pool of 2.5k and can spam their skills, Kennen goes dry while stuck in Close combat, in a team fight, where everyone wants to kill him because he was such an arse during the laning phase.

Basically, Kennen is "easy" to use in the lane, but once mid to late game happens he doesn't scale well.
