i actually like new kindred a lot

i don't think they follow the power-curve riot intended (good early weak mid gr8 late, they're bad early, then pick up mid and becomes great late) but, aside from not being able to fight anyone early game, they're a pretty fun experience. it's also nice that not getting stacks isn't so detrimental; if it's a counter-pick jungler like lee sin, lee sin, or lee sin you can just farm and wait to get stacks once grouping happens

i think they need a little bit more than what they're getting on the pbe (2 ad lul) but their winrate might fix itself naturally, so who knows. she's pretty strong with a crit build once she has her items, though

A jungler that's bad early game is a bad jungler in elos worth a shit. It's why Yi is almost unheard of in Diamond 1 or higher. If her early game isn't fixed she will never be actually "good", though she might be viable up to mid Diamond like Yi.

I have yet to play her though, so she might indeed feel good. We'll see.

i don't think she's good, i just find her fun to play

from what i can tell even the higher elo/best kindreds in soloQ are agreeing that she has a cripplingly bad early game

New kindred is actually shit

She barely scales with marks compared to before, she can't survive being counter jungled, and she needs a lot of gold to have any meaningful impact in the game which is BS because junglers should always have less gold than laners.
