Kindred, the champ that used to be good and now is literally unplayable

Ultimate Deadpoo··4 votes·459 views

So, I haven't played Kindred in the new jungle. But, every single person that has ever played Kindred in the jungle has said the exact same thing; Kindred was overnerfed, and now is being nerfed by the jungle. Simply put, Kindred no longer has the ability to clear well, no longer can keep their health up in the jungle, and this results in what used to be a unique and fun jungler (when Kindred was free I had a great time) into literal garbage.

And its a real shame to, the idea of Kindred was very unique and interesting, from their design to the fact they are a ranged jungler is what made them interesting to play as and against, but now they can't be played. After all, when was the last time you saw a Kindred jungle? I haven't seen a kindred in a long time, and most of the time when I saw one they were played ADC. So Riot, please do us a favor, and give us Kindred back.

Honestly I think having her heal back but making it weaker or take longer to activate would work.

Now that they are nerfing smites heal I feel like it's imperative for her heal to come back.

While the heal back would be nice, I don't think it's the right way to go. The main problem with kindred isn't the clear, which is actually isnt that bad, it's the fact that they can't get marks against any competent team. I would rather get a base armor buff, or maybe that enemies can't see the jungle mark on camps unless they physically see the camp. A delay for the mark to appear on the map for enemies could also work.

If they didn't want to touch the mark system or base stats, reverting the Q cool down nerfs while in the W zone would provide a good clear and dueling buff.

Level 7 Kindred here, I agree completely. The jungle changes fucking dumpster'd them. It's impossible to take those raptors now and it's supposed to be an easy camp. Kindred should just get marks on scuttle only for the early game now

Also people hated the way she came out of the jungle with full health, so that's another reason
