Thoughts on Kindred in the current meta. Part 2

I made a thread a while back asking you guys what your thoughts on Kindred in the current meta were and one of you said it was too easy for people to kill her camps and deny them their stacks. I originally thought that it was kinda bogus because getting your first couple stacks was so easy right? just kill a skuttle and maybe counter jungle a little and boom you have your first 3-4 stacks easy.

Recently i played a ranked game against a kindred. She didnt get a single stack until about 37 minutes into the game. Mind you this was just one game against someone that probably wasnt the greatest player in the world but i mean this must have been hell on earth for that player.

I would suggest removing the jungle stacks completely and maybe putting more emphasis on stacks from champ kills/assists and large monsters like Dragon and riftherald/baron.

How would you guys go about making this champion more fun to play?

Honestly, Kindred is just gonna need a rework. Ever since the original changes to their W, Kindred has been in the shitter despite any quality of life changes Riot throws their way. I don't know if anything really can fix them now besides giving back the mass amounts of lifesteal Kindred used to have.

Since junglers are expected to play a much more supportive role for their bot and mid laners right now, Kindred is basically a troll pick. It takes her way too long, too many marks, and too much time to scale properly, and most teams always play around their bot lane not their jungler anymore.

What I liked about old Kindred was that she was still viable for her on-hit if the other team packed a lot of tanks, for her armor shred and max % hp damage. Kindred has since lost their niche and are now just a troll pick.
