Why isn't kindred nerfed like you did with aurelion sol?

Absurd win ratio, but with a much higher player base

I think people don't understand that with the right build, Kindred is really strong, yet real squishy. If you pop her ult, run, or just stand there on CD. Prepare you Q button for a kill, and igniting helps.

She is really squishy? Doesn't matter, she can just fucking burst you anyway

Kindred does a lot of mini-stats effects that a lot of people felt like was ruining league way back in S3. I'm surprised to see her allowed to do it. But honestly, if you keep Kindred from fully harnessing the power of mini-stats, you can always beat them. Certain things like cornering Lamb inside of Wolf's Active, so she can't move enough, will keep her sustain power down. She will do no damage without stacks, passive, etc. You really need the Scissor to ADC paper, which is Assassins like Le Blanc, Zed, etc.

Too bad she has her ult. Seriously this is the most frustrating part of her kit. An ADC who is a hard counter to Assassins and other burst champions is just stupid imo.

Micro-stats doesn't allow Kindred to build a lot of durability, so they rely on thier ult. I can use Zed easily to 100-10 them, pop their ult, and using my ultimate +ignite will get them every time. Just don't open with the Ult.

They're heavily nerfing her on the PBE. She's losing all tank shred and is just better at killing squishies.

True for the nerfs.

Not true for how she is nerfed.

She does not lose her tank shredding, but some strength of E's slow (50%, down from 70%) and early E damage (40-180 instead of 60-180). On top, her Q's base damage is massively reduced (55-135 instead of 60-180), but now gets increased by 5 points per mark collected (for old rank 5 values, she needs 9 marks - which a lot of Kindred's don't reach).

Overall, a lot of power is removed from her early game.

Her tank shred is nerfed. She's losing the percent max health damage from marks. Instead they make her Q stronger. So higher base damages, lower percent damages. Nerf vs tanks, buff vs squishies.

Incorrect. Her on-hit damage per stack is not touched at all. The increased Q damage per stack is simply added as another effect to her current passive.

Oh, nevermind then. They're just hitting her early game. I'm then confused on what the OP is complaining about.

I'm guessing you lost to a Kindred recently.

They just nerfed her ult hard so now she can't move with it. She's stuck in one spot and she can't use it on other people.

You really really need to be careful when you use it because if you don't you'll just end up dying anyways. I've seen so many people use it, then their team dies, and then the rest of the enemy team just waits for the ult to end so they can all kill her.
