What the hell is happening to Kindred?

I've played her since release (when Warrior+Thunderlord's was META), then i've stopped playing her @ the beginning of S6 (after Warrior had ARP removed). She received nerf after nerf since then. Yet, somehow, they still managed to have the highest winrate of all junglers.

And i've tried her again right now, with the new Devourer+Runaan+Maw+ Swifties meta. 3/3 wins. Highest dmg dealer, most dmg taken in all those 3 games.

I really don't understand; I've played her @ season 5 with Devourer + Runaan and never felt so powerful like now. What the hell happened?

Tanks are becoming more popular and the Kindred specialize in tankbusting.

Also the item changes didn't end up affecting them particularly negatively, and their bases are pretty good.

I actually find her more successfull against squishies, thanks to ARP runes & Maw flat ARP

i guess you weren't as good with her back in s5? I played her with devourer and Runaan in S5 and it felt just as powerfull as now, more powerfull than now actually. Her earlygame damage, sustain and mobillity is just broken, and if you can make some use of it to stack the passive, she doesn't even fall off. And the ult if used right is just insane.... Even with the current pbe nerfs, thx to the new jungle item she will remain a god tier jungler...
