This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Kennen.

Is Jhin better when played alongside Kennen?
There is no perfect champion pairing for Jhin that will always be his top ally. However, Kennen is a very typical ally for Jhin. By locking into the same team as Jhin, he lowers their win rate by -0.5% to 50.5%. This signals that there is not really a strong bond between Jhin and Kennen that allows them to perform worse together than alone.
Kennen has a lower difficulty than Jhin. That means you don't need to be very careful when finding Kennen comrades to play with, as they will require a lower level of skill to be able to work well with you.
Playing together, Jhin players should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. Together, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.
In contrast, by aligning Jhin and Kennen together, you will not be giving your team much protection for burst damage. We recommend you pick other champs on your team that offsets this relative gap in this pairing's playstyle.
Regardless of the ability of your Kennen teammate, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
