Kindred needs a buff

LeoxQCx··8 votes·1,004 views

Kindred used to be my favorite champ, cause i liked the way she could stay longer in lane because of her heal and the way she could spam her Q. Now she is just boring to play, not fun at all... she is just too squishee and in mid game its hard too keep up because u need too many stacks to get decent dmg. I think riot have been nerfing her too hard this season. Plz buff KindredKindred

She probably needs even more nerfs.. she's still too broken , you're not playing her correctly.

Yoa are wrong. Kindred needs a buff but not in terms of damage, in fact, all they need is a little bit increased move speed because I feel like they are as slow as snail, even with boots :D Everything else is fine, damage is fine, mobility is fine, ultimate is fine, litarally everythig except MS but I don't consider it as a huge buff.

They need base stats increase. Armor in particular.

Base stats buff would not help them because it means nothing late game. As for early game, no, when I play Kindred I can easily clear the whole Jungle with just 2 potions because you kite camps with Kindred right? 15 + base armor or mr wouldn't make much difference but base move speed would and again, if you think that Kindred needs more damage, in that case their Q CD (without W) should be reduced from 8 to 6 seconds OR there should be an "extra" early/mid game safe mark to take. Really, I often end the game with 6-8 marks which is lame even if I do my best to take every single one, I am even counterjungling Shaco and Lee Sin but I really get pissed when my 3rd or 4th mark appears on enemy wolves or a Gromp, it's simply too risky to enter that deep in the enemy jubgle if you are not ahead.

I found this actually had little impact on their actual performance, since you can just build lifesteal and even without the heal I think they can farm the jungle pretty well. I don't recommend taking them into a lane, because they tend to perform best in the jungle and, it can potentially be much more difficult getting a passive stack.

and the way she could spam her Q.

I know that felt weird, but I think it was better in the end because skillshot based and immobile champions have better counterplay against them. And their Q does have a low enough cooldown so dodge skillshots, plus it deals damage based on how many stacks you have. And it hops over short walls too.

Now she is just boring to play, not fun at all...

That's subjective. I still find them fun and rewarding to play.

she is just too squishee and in mid game its hard too keep up because u need too many stacks to get decent dmg.

Funnily enough, usually I do best during the midgame. As long as you didn't mess up or netter yet, did well in the early game you should be fine. If anything getting stacks should allow you to shred squishies and even tanks. Also to get as many stacks as possible, you should play smart and plan ahead.

I think they're still strong this season. Not exactly top tier but still strong if you practice enough. They make a great niche pick, without being consistently banned or overpowered.

Kindred is not viable anymore.

They are playable, and at a decently good level, for those who are extremely dedicated and have massive amounts of experience on her. Or alternatively, are so good at the game that they can play just about any champion ridiculously well after a dozen or so games in Ranked. Which means they'll still have been practicing said champion outside of Ranked a huge amount. That's about it.

That's a pretty big 'if.'

Yeah. :P

Well regardless, I think Kindred could use some work. The removal of that heal really hurt her badly.
