The argument of how Kennen is OP is not an unbased one.

Here are reasons to why people, including myself, consider him OP.

1) His stuns. The duration is short, but is enough to disrupt damage brought forward to him by a very large amount. The fact that he is able to stun multiple times in a short timespan is one of the major arguments to why he is OP, but is not my main argument.

2) Lightning Rush. Unlike a lot of other AP mids, a winning Kennen is very highly resistant to ganks, even in times overextended, even in times unwarded. Many lane-dominating champions are vulnerable to ganking, but Kennen does not have that weakness.

Lightning Rush is also very reliable in teamfights for getting out of range. Many other APs do not have a luxury of choosing whether they want to be focused or not, and many offer less firepower or less utility while not having this luxury.

TL;DR: 230 bonus MS on a 6 second CD skill is overkill even with its massive energy cost.

However one should be thankful he runs energy. If he ran mana he would be OP beyond godlike.
