So I'm thinking about Kindred's upcoming release...

With an ADC Jungle, you can devourer farm across the map to scale your ADC pretty well (or at least, that's the idea), and that frees up the bottom lane carry role, leading to obviously, new team comps that change the meta.

The obvious one is kindred jungle with mordekaiser bot lane.

There are others.

Kindred jungle allows for an assassin duo in bot lane to camp the enemy adc. Think, Jarvan and Annie, or Jayce and Taric.

Those are famous assassin duo lanes that tear up people who aren't expecting them. Darius is another possibility, especially if you are able to snake someone into the bush with you, to follow up with your damage and your "support"'s damage.

But going down the list of assassins, we see a major contender. Vayne. She was already powerful, this is only going to make her even scarier.

What do you do when the enemy team has Vayne, Kindred, a powerful engage support, any midlaner at all, and a juggernaut?

I'm also wondering: If the ADC goes into the jungle, does the support follow? If they do, could you end up with 3 solo lanes and an adc/support jungle meta? Who else would work as an ADC Jungler if you did that? I'm thinking Kalista MIGHT be able to make the devourer work in the jungle, because attack speed is her stat. Who else would work there? Well, there's Vayne.

You know I'm starting to think Vayne is supposed to do everything but support. But then if she had some powerful CC and -oh, wait.

Damn, I'm having a hard time staying on topic. This isn't supposed to be a Vayne thread.

What do you guys expect to see post-Kindred release? are there any unexplored teamcomps I forgot to mention?

Kindred and Bard best jungle duo.

Oh that sounds fun. Bard would be roaming everywhere anyways, so the magical journeys could come from anywhere.

Magical Ganks and AoE life saving duo! And they both benefit from running around the map quickly, Kindred for her marks and Bard for his chimes.

Now imagine the face the enemy jungler would have trying to catch up or out jungle those two hyper mobiles.

It doesn't work out that well. Kindred is meant to be a devourer farmer. The problem right now is that there is NO reason to choose her over a champion like Yi, Shyvanna, Xin, etc. She farms at around the same rate, and she adds another target for your frontline to protect. It means your top laner and support have to be pretty bulky, because one tank alone won't cut it. Her ult is pretty good for self protection though, but pulling it off to save more people and not the enemy is tricky as hell.
