Kindred Kindred, my main, my buddy. Sure, in patch 7.5, she was buffed. Slightly. It makes her work a little better and makes her safer. Thats a good thing because even with the buffs to crit items and her passive, she is garbage. Shes incredibly weak, with terrible scalings, low MS, squishy, and many other problems. Her passive was intended to help her scale into the late game. Whether or not it was intended, her marks getting camped is a massive problem. She is in desperate need of buffs (and a new skin OwO) . My suggested buff are as follows:

  • First, buff her movespeed. 325 without boots. That crazy.
  • Second, make it so that the enemy jungler has to see the camp to see that its marked. Also make it so that Wolf cant mark camps that are missing health, aka when the enemy jungler is taking it. *Third, buff her AD slightly. Its very low, even for an attack speed/crit based adc type champion. *Finally, #makewolfgreatagain. Let Wolf be more useful. A good way to do this all? Make her ultimate something like Nid/Jayce/Elise. Let her switch between Lamb and Wolf form. Wolf can have extra move speed, and be more of a chasing and hunting champion, like a real wolf. Let Lamb be the meticulous, planning, killer that she was intended to be. Keep her slow, but buff her AD so that she has an easier time being a murderer.

Ty rito, also elderwood kindred OwO

I wouldnt even say the Crit changes were a "buff" to Kindred. They took a massive loss in win rate this patch over the last one, and its because of all the changes combined, they lowered overall health and increased overall armor round the clock for a lot of tank items. Lowered Armor pen, and further the crit items were rarely built on them. BoRK was increased in cost, the people that DO benefit from the crit Item change can now burst harder against kindred. The change to Ruunan's encourages building more AD which Kindred scales poorly with. All-in-all This patch 7.9 was a massive kick in groin for kindred, and the sad thing with that is she was still already kind of weak for any one that didnt main her so... Lets just keep kicking some of these champs while they are down why dont we, which before 7.5 is pretty much what had been happening to kindred even since the nerf that brought her to "unplayable" change after change to items made her worse and worse, then buff in 7.5 almost back up to where she was when she was garbage but didnt have item nerfs on top of it just to get kicked back into the dirt by item changes again in 7.9.
