I wish kindred didn't get screwed over.
I'm actually wondering how many summoners even play kindred anymore. From what i hear, only champion players can really play them at all, and if they don't get kills early, their useless at just about anything late game. As far as i can tell, their entire kit is based on only their passive. This means that everything works around their auto attack. They may be marksman, but they are not considered adc. honestly love the kindred, i love how the contradiction between the both goes beyond just physical form. But, they have very little real viable concepts. If they are forced to rely on one thing, their hunts, why is it so easy to negate it? unlike Viegar, or Nasus who also infinitely stack small boosts into something impossibly strong late game, Kindred cannot as easily do this, even if it is a small boost. It is too easy to kill their camps and camp their targets. I can not infinitely outplay every single summoner i come against in stealing camps and dodging counterganks. If i don't stack those points, I lose absolutely all my prowess in game. Even with full build I cannot play. The abilities of kindred do not do well enough to protect them from almost anything. q is a small hop, which may jump walls, but that isn't getting anyone away. Against Rengar, Xin Zhao, Master Yi, Kha Zix, and many other jungles, her hop is nothing but a parlor trick. Late game there is no item that can save the kin from these champs, the assassins have too much burst for kindred to drop ult, master yi auto attacks to death with no chance of kiting or running away, and xin gap closes and just ends kindred with a few aa and a ult. If anyone else feels there may be a problem with the kindred, I would love you to right below, explain your own complaints if you want, or list examples, i would love to hear people back me up on this. If you are against me, i wouldn't mind if you challenged these thoughts, I have an argumentative spirit though, and I may challange you back. [slayer-jinx-catface]
if you are a riot employee, I would ask you don't just throw this away. If you like where kindred is, (which after 5 bad games in a row i'm honestly not
) I ask for assistance for me and whoever would right here with me. Every guide on Youtube i have ever scene is from before the kindred nerf, or they have a 'decent' game. I would like a REAL guide to an effective play on kindred. I've tried dozens of builds, and though i have fun, it stops being fun when the enemy starts gloating late game at you or when you lack real firepower to make a decent effect on your team. thanks and bubye.
favorite build for bots match:

I love when I don't even add any masteries or runes and my kindred hp regen is 13.5 hp per second for no reason.
(the wards help you keep track of your jungle marks)
I hope this helped.
. But, too my experience, kindred isn't an assassin. I see she can be built like one, her kit just doesn't say assassin though. There is absolutely no effective CC, other than her e slow. wolf's wide range doesn't scale well last i checked, and he q isn't exactly a gap closer though. I like her kit, I really do. I just can't seem to wrap my head around this full attack kindred because she doesn't seem like a full attack kind of champ.
bot matches with kindred are mad fun though
While i fail either way in any game with kindred. I have played with the idea of hp regen. Kindred has an amazingly high base hp regen. As such I have ALWAYS wondered if paired with the right runes, masteries, and items, how fast can her hp regen go? without runes, i've gotten a 10.5 bye level 7 with
. with a pot during i got 20+. my hope is that this information can prove useful. I'm wondering if relying on her passive hunt stacks as a only source of damage and building straight tank and hp regen if i can reach a point where i can heal so much so fast that it reaches a point about half as effective as volibear. Where just walking out of battle for 5 seconds can recharge your health. With her kite I think it could be pulled off amazingly. Still just playing with it.
Finnally, I have seen these tips 50 times. I've practiced them daily for a week, now I'm just fed up because I'm still always having my butt handed to me by newbie xin and diana players. still getting caught mid gank bye lux, and still getting screwed late game bye Vayne. I am trying and it is so frustrating when I can take
and get s ranks, yet always have to COMPLETELY rely on my team because I fail every 1v1 that's not before level 6. I wrote more for help rather than anything else, and though i got very little other than some more thinking supjects, I appreciate you writing back at all.
