Kindred getting worse and worse

Kindred has always been a great jungler but the recent nerfs that she's been receiving has made her less viable until a point where my teammates said that she was a "trollpick". They are also nerfing her more by removing her heal in her w in the upcoming patch. I also noticed that Kindred's winrate has been decreasing slowly yet her banrate still stays questionably high. I honestly think Riot should think about this a little and try looking deeper into other champions. - I know that Kindred is strong in the early game but in my recent games playing her, with her, and against her; it doesn't seem like she's strong at any point of the game. I don't really pay attention to the patch notes and I just listen to my friends and what they know about it, so feel free to tell me more and share you're thoughts because I'm interested.

It's because of her kiting potential, ridiculous scaling into late game, and utility on her ult.

I think she is in the rek'sai camp where LCS players just abuse her kit so well that it had to be nerfed to a level that looks underwhelming at every other ELO.

Her 'q' has a fairly low cooldown, and she has a slow, so it's very hard to punish her. Once she hits 6, she also has her ult, which buys her time for her team to respond if she gets caught out (but this can also work against her, so it's a double edged sword). And she scales incredibly well into the late game.
