Tank Kindred with Redemption? (Hint - her ult + Redemption)
Hey there, Onwodori here.
Another brain tickler - what merit would Kindred have (zero, is an acceptable answer) in playing them as a tank with Redemption? The idea of course is that a generous amount of their damage comes from their passive's stacks and the third hit on W and that their damage is as it would be normal early any how, so building full tank + bloodrazor would still leave you with a considerable output later on. Even off tank items like Steraks would work well. Of course, the piece of resistance is the synergy between their ult keeping everyone alive and the new item, Redemption.
Basically, you whittle everyone in your circle down as low as possible and time it so that you get a nice heal when the ult expires and Redemption hits immediately afterward. 10% maximum health true damage on low health enemies is *amazing in theory!
The build might go something like:

Let me know how silly this is.
