I really like the design of this champ. I feel like she is not overpowered or underpowered. In fact, I think she is a really fun champ to theorycraft, as she genuinely has a lot of build possibilities.
Jungle Builds:
Top Lane:
Bot ADC:
Bot Support (best w/Vayne adc because knockback works great with Kindred's ult):
Mimy1 votesI bet she'd be a good on-hit build.. lol (basically what the first one is.. )
IcyPepper1 votesKindred support is really eh.

It depends on what kind of team you have. If top, mid and jg cover AP, tankiness and CC but not AD, Kindred support is a very decent choice.

Look, I don't mean to be sarcastic here, but there is a possibility you can play Kindred as the ADC.

Yes, but Kindred has the unique ability to have relevant damage in late game without necessarily building much damage, which is why they can lane as support. Works wonders with Ashe as ADC by the way.
lolipopevelynn1 voteshurricane is only good if you can keep stacks on her past 8. if you are not consistent with stacks or dont snowball then hurricane is a throw item.
still dont understand why ppl get ghost blade in a late game build on a late game oriented champion tho... especially if your getting LW or cleaver anyway.
Nebuul1 votesGhost blade is kind of a given on her. CDR is actually really important to Kindred as her primary damage spells end up being W and E, which are both heavily cooldown-gated. Then, since her ratios are so poor, armor penetration and attack speed are her best stats. The 20 flat pen really helps her shred low-armor targets, especially if she already gave them reduced base armor from cleaver and/or LW
The hurricane on her is nice because it not only spreads her passive on-hit around, but it also can apply other on-hits as well as the passive on cleaver. Yes, it is best if she gets her stacks up. But you have cleaver or on-hit items, it is still an incredible increase to her DPS since her base values are so meh and she doesn't use crit much.
