Need help with Kindred.

I main jungle and I would really want to play Kindred since they are a masterpiece of Riot but I am really worried because everyone calls them useless.

Are there any tips you can give me? What spell to max first? Is there any spell rotation or a combo?

Well, you can do it if you want. But let me just say this. After her excessive nerfs (nerfs were due, but not to that extent) after her dominance in high/pro levels of play, her skillcurve has become drastically more punishing, making her near garbage until one gains tons of experience on both her and just gameplay knowledge (rank basically) otherwise.

The standard order is to start W-Q-E, then max Q-W-E, R whenever possible. Practice Q vaulting over every wall that's short enough. That's very important. When you go in for a gank, it's better to save your Q first and run in, tag them with E for the slow and set up the W, and then use your Q to hit them along with your laner.

Wolf's Hunts are broadcasted on the map. You can use this to bait the enemy jungler or play mind games with the enemy team. If you're blue side and your Hunt is on enemy Krugs for instance, the top laner will probably be wary of a gank while others, not so much. You can use this mindset to deceive the enemy team and go for a gank in bot or mid instead. You can do the same with your own Hunts too (Lamb's).

Her base stats and sustain have been removed, so learning to kite jungle camps with her is more important than ever for a good healthy clear.

Ty so much, can't wait to get home from work and play one game with Kindred. As for experience, don't worry, playing LoL since 2012 hahaha and was jungler from the begining so...

Just wondering how can Riot create something as perfect as kindred and than nerf it to the ground just like that.... O.o

Well she was fine, and then got more buffs for literally no reason (cough LC$ cough) and then got neutered once series was over. Wow, I'm getting this strange sense of déjà vu.

I know this is unfair but honestly I whink that champions such are Ahri Azir Bard Draven Ekko Elise Illaoi Khazix Kindred Kled LeeSin Lucian Lissandra Nautilus Nocturne Thresh TwistedFate Vayne Zed and Zyra should never be unplayable. They are just so badass and fun :D
