So initial reaction to Kindred
I have to admit, I'm a little underwhelmed. She's incredibly fun to play with, no doubt. But as it stands, she's on the weak side of things right now. To put it simply, as she stands now, theres not much of a good reason to pick her. From the testing I've done so far, she needs a good amount of farm and kills to get ahead. The problem is, if you're going to spend your time farming up Devourer, you might as well pick someone like Yi or Shyvanna who can really run with it. Her kiting isn't as good as expected, it's easy to catch her even inside her W, and her damage isn't high enough for her to duel people. And it's not even her fault. By herself, she's pretty balanced. It's the fact that she has to be compared to other DPS junglers that kills her. I'm going to give her a few more tries, just to get a better feel for her, but honestly, she's going to come out pretty UP.
