quite aware of this. also items are flexible, you gotta feel out your opponents before choosing an item. Kennen is one of my newest mains, he's a deadly mid carry with mobility, my favorite sort of champion.

This is the #1 reason most people are terrible: they build the exact same items, in the the exact same order, every game they play.
Is your lane going well!? Build offensively.
Are you being harassed heavily and barely escaping (or NOT escaping death?) Well then, regardless of the hero you're playing, you need to build immediately into defense.
Are your lane opponents AP or AD? Are they CC heavy or just harass heavy? You should try to have 3 or 4 core builds for your favorite champions: An offensive build, a high magic resist build, a high armor build and a high HP build. There are items that fit into all of these categories for EVERY hero.
Abyssal Scepter is the perfect example. Certainly not an item you would build every game...but if you're playing a mage, and the enemy mages are focusing you, then you greatly benefit from BOTH the Magic Resist and AP it gives.
In a game lasting more than 30 minutes you should **NEVER** be building with 0 defensive items regardless of the hero you're playing.
