How comes devourer is the recommended jungle item for Kindred?

Imo she looks more like an AD burst- caster?

She's late game scaling, has a passive on hit, and a 2nd passive on hit on her E (you'll get the proc on 2nd hit other than 3rd, like Vayne) and W scales off attack speed. I think you're supposed to choose item 3718 or item 3714 based on needs. (If team will survive laning phase without heavy gank/camping or in need of ganks to get into midgame with a good head start), but, in most cases..people just go with sated if they personally scale well with it, and warrior if they don't. In Kindred's case...she/he scale very well with it. (3 things, not even counting items that are good items to build on them already.)

I'm guessing item 3931 item 3153 item 3085 then tank ( item 3047 item 3111 item 3102 item 3065 item 3110 item 3143 -depending on enemy) is gonna be her meta build.

It got nerfed to every 4th attack on ranged champs tho :s

I think shes kinda like Rengar, devourer works, but warrior is just better. Kindred feels like a champ that wants to roam around, get kills and invade the enemy, not mindlessly farm jungle.

Well...a good devourer jungler is still going to gank before getting sated. Just yer yoloque peps don't cause they're selfish and don't value allies. You still get stacks off assists.

Didn't know about ranged nerf to sated. Though it is pbe, so possibly not stick. I think 3rd attack to trip the doubletap would be better. Just means you'll have to time the E better with sated. (Don't use it till you've already AA'd twice?)

Unsure if she's rengo levels of deleting people at level 6...since...the ulti kinda doesn't work well with that... And still feel she's more super late game than early game dominate. Doubt she'll even do any heavy ganks for a while anyway. Guessing she's gonna be fairly low health in her jungle a lot till she gets some items. Doesn't make much use of the warrior early strength if you're too weak to gank when it's strongest.

Her passive gives her an infinitely scaling % current HP on hit effect. You just need to kill/get assists on marked targets to get stacks of it.

Still, I think that would be better with warrior + blade.

her passive scales with as and is probably applied as an on hit effect.

imo there is no reason to build her with a standart ad carry build. since her passive is item independent % hp damage you can probably build her with a standart irelia bruiser build + either devourer or cinderhulk + bork. and shes probably going to become a gigantic problem because of this.

they need to change her passive to scale with bonus ad, like they did with fiora. otherwise shes gonna be better tanky than built squishy.
