I used to play Kindred a lot, even have mastery 7 on her but after her major nerf on her passive she never really found a good spot in the meta. It's really sad since I love her so much but it just feels like I'm always super behind especially if you can't collect your marks.

Mastery's are pretty basic 18-12 with ferocity. Sometimes i take bounty hunter if I feel I'll be able to gank a lot. Runes: I pretty much used my basic ADC runes. 9 Armor Yellows. AD Reds. Magic Resist Blues, and Attack Speed Quints.

Build Path: item 1419 item 3085 item 3156 item 3153 item 3022 item 3071

As for abilities it never really changes. Always R - Q - W - E Also your Q CD is lowered if your W is active.

Hope this helps!

Haha ahh I knew I forgot something. just the standard attack speed boots. You're basically an ADC jungler. Those are just the items I would choose from. All depends on how the game goes and what's needed. If you have any questions you are more than welcome to ask c:

I've found that Kindred is basically unplayable right now. Especially with the whole 'adc in 2017' thing - they get destroyed early as if they're a regular adc being caught out in the jungle and late game depends entirely on how many marks you have collected, as your scaling is really crappy otherwise. Overall, very difficult to play especially right now but extremely good in the right hands.

Kindred is basically unplayable against a competent team. It is far too easy to punish her need for those marks. Granted, it causes your team to flounder around and be ready to invade together every 50 seconds (refresh time on Wolf), but if your team is organized enough, she is pretty much stuck useless.

Since Riot nerfed the living hell out of her, her marks have become paramount to her success. Deny Kindred marks, she is weaker than an underleveled ADC. Get Kindred her marks, she becomes pretty strong. I've found it is just too easy to deny her. Riot has tried to breathe life back into her by removing some of the risk, but as far as play goes, the risk of failure on her is much higher than the benefit of reward.

Pretty sure she's like a Tier B Jungler.

I recommend asking on the kindred reddit if you want a more in-depth idea of their usefulness. there's some pretty good guide posts there as well. just be sure to read some of the other guide requests before posting one yourself. it might just be what you're looking for! good luck!
