Kindred was overbuffed

{quoted}

the W change was sooo unnecessary, they were doing fine with the buffs from the patch before...

That is riot balance team, they see the mains cry about champion they overbuff them.

The change makes a lot of sense when you relise that they were a zero sustain jungler. What I mean by that was outside of simply kiting, they had no reliable way of staying healthy in the jungle, unlike of say true gritt and itemisation ( he always goes ) or healing passive (doesen't always have to be life steal but some way of staying fairly healhty in the jungle without over-reliance on smite). This can be a problem on certain camps ( like raptors or certain things like soloing dragon ) and they don't tend to itemise into any life steal ( current build looks like something like: , jungle enchantment can be either or , boots can be ).
