Kindred Rework feels terrible in actual play, help?

Kindred rework is literally so much worse for early game. I can't do anything, and never gets strong late game despite having 10+ marks. Of course my teams are useless too so whatever. What build does kindred go now?

EDIT: Nevermind, I just did really well with it and I can see it's strengths better now. I realized it was legit my teams, since your laners have to respond to your ganks and stuff for them to be actually useful :P

Give the community a few days with them and see where things stand for lambs new build, I will be testing some goofy stuff as well but my builds can be.... wonky at best. At a glance I'm thinking I wanna run summoner 11 summoner 6 and will def play around with some blue build and On hit. If anything works really well in norms ill take it to ranked for a few days the real test and get back to you.

Uh... I played it just this morning and did pretty damn well... It felt good to play in my opinion. I was like 4/0 in a 17 minute game. I went Warrior into Phantom and was going for an IE after that. IDK what you mean it feels bad; it felt good to me.

I definitely feel some weaknesses with new kindred.

Early game feels really bad Mid game is okish if you weren't shit on early game late game is pretty rough as everybody just groups on you, typically AD carry stuff, although the damage is there.

I do think they hit the mark (lul) on making them feel like actual marksmen not skirmishers, but they need to fix some things, such as adding bonus damage to monsters on Q or W.

she feels strong late to me provided u more or less play like an adc and build like one too. she's completely useless mid game and almost as bad early
