Kindred Buff

Thúnder·Sep 1, 2017·5 votes·2,178 views

I just started to play Kindred recently and then i noticed why I never see this champion. I think she needs to be buffed a little bit with her marks they should be shown for only her team and not the enemy because if the enemy sees the mark they will either 1. go straight there or. 2. if they don't get there in time will know almost exactly where she is. If they have a jungler that has either more health or more damage she will most likely die. Then in the beginning of the game and you have the scuttle on the same side that you're on you better hope the enemy jungler isn't there because if they are and you die you are going to most likely have a bad game as if you do bad early game its very hard to come back from dying.

Yea. Me too. I started playing her, and she is so squishy... Its hard to do anything until you get 4stacks. When you do, you have a better chance... But still have a chance of failing hard. Especially that the enemy always on you. Because you are squishy. (on you= prefer to wait in your jungle to kill you.)

Kindred was fine before

Her recent changes were rushed because Riot wanted to open up the jungle to tank junglers, and her changes coincided with the changes to Maokai/Zac/Sejuani. TLDR Riot basically fucked over kindred mains so tank junglers could take over everything.

Kindred might be one of what looks to be 30 or so characters who just needs a reset of sorts, as she's kinda become something (like what fizz was and still has the potential to be) where she's either ridiculously broken or ridiculously underwhelming with skillcap rarely having anything to do with it.

Are you guys high if kindred doesnt feed and gets one or 2 early kills shes so broken she has more range than most adcs and all you need to do is get like runnas pd bork i.e and essence reaver and complete broken if you can play the champ at a blind pick only bronze 5

bruh you obviously never played her. Go in a ranked game and try to carry your life with her. Before the rework, it was a rewarding playstyle. And tbh, it feels like she is so much more harder to play because she is so much more weaker. Her range is not that big and you cant buy runnans pd bork ie and essence like youre suggesting. You need to rush ie first and never finish your jg item. Even then, kindred doesn't have that much gold. Try to pay that item bill with your jg money. Go ahead cuz it's expensive af.

No, Kindred does not need buff. You just started t pley them and Kindred is not someone that you pick and rekt right away, you need experience

he doesnt need a huge buff but his passive vision of enemy NEEDS to be changed, they ( not she or he ) should not have passive that counters themself and messes your up more than your enemies, also i would add only something to their w cause its just a bit boring, maybe wold has lifesteal inside or deals bonus damage on first strike etc idk but kindred NEEDS SOMETHING, they should stay squishy and high skill cap but not on the level like aurelion sols where like all junglers that can quickly get to your camps counter you

Kindred is a simple matter of knowledge. If any individual knows how she works, you die. If no one does, you get a decent game. If your entire team knows how she works and the other team only slightly does, you can gang stomp their jg or whomever goes to clear marks. If everyone knows how she works, you die.

That last one is the most important, in my opinion. Her ultimate is counter-productive against enemies that know how it works and teammates that don't. She has strong incentive to invade the other side's jungle but no utilities to actually do so.

Kindred is one of the most amazing champions in both lore and flavor, but it pains me to know that that's all she can be until reworked or buffed in some way.

And yeah, I've played Kindred since about the second week I started playing league, if my icon didn't make my love of the champion obvious.

agree but i wouldnt remove the enemy vision completely, i would rather show the side of the jungle where your buff is so like enemy knows its there somewhere but not exactly where like on example you marked krugs and they see that the top left side of jungle is marked so its either krugs, red, raptors, or scuttle in their mini map and that leaves a potential for you to outplay them as well and it will punish them for not having vision of their jungle

That won't work because the jungle is too small. As I run my camps, if I suspected someone in that side of the jungle I could check each camp within 2 seconds. Walk to red gives vision of raptors, then drop ward on Cruggs. On blue you walk to buff past wolves, and blue has vision on Gromp. It's too easy to check the entire jungle.
