How to play against kindred?

Is our only option to silence or hard cc her before she can ult? Is it worth taking her out first over an adc or mid? She is not tanky but it's frustrating. . . . This is sorta like going against kayle

Take her marked camps, and for the love of god, DON'T FLASH OUT OF HER ULT.

if they take Kindred : take lee sin, janna, morgana, gragas. Why ? Lee sin can knock anyone back from the ult. Janna can ult everyone out. With Morgana, you use your ult 1 sec after kindred's ult so they'll either have to leave the zone or stay in the zone and get damaged+stunned by morg's ult. Gragas is the same as lee or Janna.

You can do the same with orianna/nunu/lux/zyra/veigar etc...

basically, you have to punish them from using this ult.

And Lee Sin is a nightmare to fight against as Kindred. He excels at counter jungling, and you pretty much can't leave your jungle because he will kill you if you do. If you can't get your marks as Kindred, you're pretty useless

Yup exactly. Hard counterjungling shuts Kindred down so hard. She's squishy as hell...

Singed and Alistar also. They can knock her out of the ult.

i would say yes to focusing them first like akayle you want to try to force their ult so they cant use it in a fight

She IS an adc, just not one that goes botlane. So... Whether or not you focus her over the bot lane adc depends on which one of the two's had a better game. If you can't burst her down before she ults, then you still want her to pop it early. Once she does, your best bet is to either knock her out of it (if you have somebody on the team with a knockback) or to switch targets onto another enemy and whittle them down as much as you can until her ult ends.

Swarm her--she's incredibly squishy, so keeping wards in your jungle and paying attention to which camp she marks to keep track of her. The second she goes for a mark. Just go balls deep on her. Shut her down early and as Kindred it's hell dealing with swarming her. Because you don't really have any escapes, your reduced q cd is only useful when fighting, and the cd is 7 seconds outside, and it's such short range...just pick her off whenever you can.
