Honestly, probably not any time soon.

They have started being picked up by high-tier Korean players again and their win-rate is back above 50% in Platinum+.

If it helps, I believe the "new" build being used is along the lines of: item 3006 item 1419 item 3085 item 3022 item 3071

OMG THIS IS LITERALLY THE SAME BUILD I USED 3 MONTHS AGO... I STILL USE IT...

I used to do something similar back when I was trying to learn Kindred and it worked rather well. What I liked most about the build was how quickly you could stack Black Cleaver (one autoattack was two stacks, Wolf, Dance of Arrows) and how each it could be to kite targets.

The main issue with it was that I sucked at Kindred.

That said, I've never really put in too many games on them and they have a pretty high learning curve.

Idk about BC, I see a lot more item 3153 due to the attack speed and LS it offers. Especially if you're tight on item slots for hexdrinker vs ap.

personally I prefer building item 3053 or item 3142 over BC since they help kindred survive in fights or give her insanely high DPS for teamfights.

%HPMarks+AttackSpeed+Bloodrazor %hp+BOTRK%HP is what makes kindred shred tanks, not so much armor pen.

I'd build BC if I was behind in marks however (less than 6 at 20 minutes) since my %damage would suck and armor pen would atleast make up for that.

Usually my build looks like razor+runaan's+frozen mallet+berserker's+BOTRK+either steraks, yuumuu's, mortal reminder, or maw. (with maw rushed earlier in the build).

I'm not brainstorming a build or anything here. I believe either PhyLol or RedMercy released a video recently discussing the build and its strengths.

Black Cleaver is rather nice due to how easily Kindred can stack the armor reduction (2 stacks per auto, Wolf, Q). While it isn't another percentage health on-hit effect, it amplifies the strength of their passive and Bloodrazor (and lets them shred the armor of 3+ champions through Runaan's Hurricane and Q).

They're fine. You need to just manage to convince your allies to help with marks. I say one mark equals two ganks. They never remeber that I'm supposed to gank them though.

It's not really the champ. Maybe a small buff like 20 MS if your Q hits two targets or something like that, just for kiting.

Kindred Tips (From a Mastery 6 Kindred)

Build to counter your opponents. Your damage comes from marks+attack speed, not items. If they have a burst buy Hexdrinker/Steraks. Tanky? BC/Bork. Finding you die too quickly? Spirit Visage or Deaths Dance
Save smite/ignite/BORK for right after the ultimate ends. Then you'll almost guarantee the kill.
If you're ahead continue playing safe. You can easily lose a lead by misplacing an ult or thinking you can dive when you can't.
CS and Marks > Kills. 15 CS = 1 Kill. Play safe when going for marks on enemy camps. Make sure you have wards up to know when to go in when they're away from the camp.
Standard Assassination Combo: E > W > AA > (Cancel AA with) Q > AA+ > Q+. Auto attack and Q as much as possible after the Q cancel until they're dead.
Don't forget to kite. Move around. Dodge with Qs. Save ult for executes like Jinx Rocket or Darius ult, etc.
DO. NOT. DO. STUPID. THINGS. FOR. MARKS.

they know the exact moment they put the nail in the coffin, not sure how likely they are to do any reverts, since they are trying everything under they sun, as long as it hasn't been suggested on the boards....
