Kindred Impressions

Ok so Kindred I think she (Lamb the main) Is a very beautiful champion. I love the the design and i like her q w and e artistically and play style wise. She is overall a very aesthetically pleasing champion. I love her jokes, taunts and her laugh is not annoying A+ on that.

Outside of that her abilities and attack damage scale horribly and she is very easily shut down particularly by early invades. It is also very hard to get her mark stacks if the enemy team knows how to ward and keep an eye on the obvious giant mark on the map. I also think Kindred's Ult is the most neutral and self defeating ult in the game and does not benefit you or your team in most cases. Why well because the enemy can waltz right on into your ult with you and benefit from it just as much as you can. But guess what this cost the enemy team nothing but cost your team an ult! So in reality it hurts your team. I personally cant think of any scenarios where a competent enemy team cant benefit just as much off of your ult as you or your team can. Which in the end does not help your team at all. In fact her ultimate frustrates both teams friendly and enemy. Why because friendlies often times end up using abilities thinking they can kill the enemy but cant lol. In the end her ultimate sort of benefits the enemy team more so than yours because your team is losing an ultimate that could solely benefit your team.

I think her ult needs some tweaking so that it actually benefits her team not both teams. For starters maybe make the heal at the end only heal friendlies? Another thing is maybe make her scale better with AD. Not by much but right now her scaling is laughable. Yeah she has the mark passive that is supposed to counter this but playing against any team that knows how to ward and is aware of her mark pfft good luck getting a decent amount of stacks lucky if you get 5.

Another thing is having ADC as jungle pretty much causes the whole team to be restructured. Why because most current junglers have good engages and often times cc. Kindred has neither. So guess what you need someone else on the team to fulfill this role. Also current junglers tend to build a tank item or 2. Kindred i just don't see that working correctly with her. So you need someone on your team to take the place of this "bruiser/tank role".

So in the end is it worth having her on the team with all of these issues. I don't think she is. I think she needs some changes not sure about the best way to make those changes but i just don't see her or an ADC jungler really fitting into the meta. Even if they made good changes to her kit it still causes the team to have to be built around her. Me personally i think the jungler idea was neat but lets be real here no one needs an ADC jungle. I think the best option would be to re-balance her for bottom lane. I think she could make a fantastic ADC with her kit she just needs balanced for it so she can compete.

But that's just my two cents!
