Kindred is an auto-win in top lane?

Kindred starts the game with a 1.1 attack speed and like 70 AD. How is that even possible through runes and masteries? All of her abilities hit like a metric freight train, she has a huge amount of burst damage as well as high sustained damage. Is Kindred legitimately sleeper OP or is she just an auto-win vs non-tanks?

What?!?!

Kindred doesn't even get 1.1 attack speed at level 18 0.625 + 2.5% per level. At 18 she only has .8906 without runes, masteries, or items

Her base AD is among the lowest in the game.

Level 1 = 54.42 (42nd lowest) Level 18 = 81.8 (2ND LOWEST)

Literally the only reason she wins top lane is if she is able to collect on her passive.

Stop her from doing that and she is useless.

actually doesnt sound far fetched. with teleport, and top laners tending to roam bot lane and definitely able to roam mid, kindred could be a pretty strong top laner, and be able to stack her passive.

with the auto attack reset on her q, her duelling potential is really strong early on aswell.

depends on the matchup i guess. but i can see her being a pain in the ass.
