I bought them in a moment of passion and guided just by how much I liked their lore, but I was really bad at jungling. Now I have improved slightly and wanna try again. How does one exactly "play" Kindred? And what should I build on them?
EmperorPengu1 votesKindred is kinda weak right now. She has a slew of changes on the pbe that make her a lot better tho. Just wait & see if the changes go through then pick her up.
Brutalitops011 votesI would not recommend playing them this patch, as they are fairly weak currently. This patch, I would recommend learning how to jungle using easier ranged junglers. Next patch, however, they are getting a miniature rework that will make them significantly stronger. I would recommend waiting to learn them until that comes out, as if you learn them before, you will basically have to relearn them.
The mini rework moves her % health damage on her passive from her autos to her abilities and instead has her passive grant her autos bonus range. The range boost is that, after obtaining 4 stacks, Kindred gains +75 range on her basic attacks, as well as on the cast range on her E and the arrow targeting range on her Q. Every subsequent group of 4 stacks gives them all an additional +25 range. Her W now deals % current health damage, while her E now deals % missing health damage, and both deal it in magic damage that still scales with AD. The E also crits if it hits an enemy below a health threshold, equal to 15 (at max rank) + 50% crit chance % of their maximum health (so it will deal the bonus damage if they are below 45% of their max health if Kindred has 60% crit chance).
As far as builds go, I would still recommend the same build path for her next patch as this one:
start, then 
and pretty much just a general ADC build, but with Bloodrazor if you're jungling.
