So Kindred was gutted with rework and every PBE buff is getting reverted

Guess I lost my favourite champ for good. Seriously, with Zac, Sej and Mao reworks they were all buffed/nerfed right in next patch and almost every from there on. But when KIndred's winaret dropped 10% they planned to give them 2 more base armor and 3 more base AD. And even this got reverted! Will we have this weak, self-denieing champ for at least 2 weeks? As I don't expect a hotfix in next patch...

late game Kindreds a monster, if you go red smite, skirmishers > BF.sword > T1boots > IE > T2 Boots > Shiv, providing you farm and dont lose too much on too many lanes you will have a huge mid-game spike and flat-out carry.

i agree though They are in a sad state, i think all they need is +5-7 Base AD and 2% increased scaling, a change to E too as its an execute now AND our only CC used on ganks almost immediatly, i think either we need to be able to;

A) proc it by second pressing E once we have stacked and we command the execute proc, alowing us to properly gank again

B) put the E's slow into W again allowing for counterplay zoning and gank potential back.

right now its about us ''ramping up and making mid/late as early fo us as possible'' as soon as we hit that stage though 4stacks (after items are more prevelant) IE/Shiv man everything dies.

There is still so many problems with her. There is no jungle item that can help her with crit so we all have to rush freaking IE which is very expensive for a jungler and especially if you get counter-jungled. Because she is so weak now, she can't even try to prevent the counter-jungling. She will only be relevant late game. If she failed early game and/or mid game, there will be no late game for her.

very true and i don't disagree, i do think though all they need is a early AD scaling buff, on the PBE it was increased from 54>57 base AD, that doesnt sound a lot but it is, i havnt tested it however and i dont know if its been increased or decreased since.

personally i think she needs her Sustain back, the self heal, and most high ELO kindreds now dont even finish there jungle item after Sabre but replace it situationally mid-late game. again

TLDR:

  • Sustain back
  • increased early AD
  • refine E, E right now contradicts itself, its either an execute or a slow/CC form, riot needs to decide, personally i think they keep both components and let US activate the E proc, give it a 10s ? (thinking of prolonged fights here) fall-off limit upon 3 stacks?
  • let us place there ultimate again.
  • let people TP to wolf.

Its not fair to people who put time into the champ but honestly I am glad that they are trash, I cant describe to you how much I love Kindred's art and visual design and VO, but how much I fucking hate the boring, plain, unoriginal skill design with feast or famine gameplay and one of the most toxic ults in the game imo. Just my opinion, no offence.
