Scaling isn't always everything

On paper Cho's Q is the most broken ability just to look at the description.

Most of Kennen's kit is designed for mid-close range, he's a mage whose niche lies into continuous stuns sometimes AoE.

We can all agree that the most core item on him is certainly Zhonyas, because of above said dangerous range he's required to be put in.

I used to play alot of him, mostly Toplane because before Gnar he was the only "manaless" ranged champion, which of course put him in the same region of those ranged that crap on melees, believe it or not he's a solid counter to Riven given he survives the first 3 levels and keep her in check with Mark of the Storm, you can easily negate any engage with your CC whilst damaging her.

The doran blade change hit him because on hit HP was better than Lifesteal.

I believe he's just an underplayed champion, like many.
