Please don't nerf Kindred

Recently, Kindred got nerf on PBE. Wolf will attack two times slower (W) and R will have bigger cooldown by 20 seconds. I don't think they need a nerf. Most of the people pick them, because of their ultimate ability. They can save their fed teammate form assassins like Zed. And now Riot decided to nerf their most important ability. Also, nerfing their W will make them a lot weaker early game and it will be harder for them to Farm. More likely Kindred will loss a lot of popularity after next patch if the nerf will come to life. And this is a really fun to champion to play with a very interesting lore. It was so nice having them in the game, because some weeks ago nobody played them. Please upvote if you agree that Kindred shouldn't be nerfed.

I like how Kindred (who was one of the worst champions for a long period of time) who becomes somewhat good now and get's nerfed immediately. Where-as someone like Kha'zix who was strong for much longer took almost more than 4 months to receive some type of nerfs to shut him down slightly.

With perma invis ? He was obviously.

Kindred is just retarded,because she is ranged with good early game and 1v1.She doesnt need items or anything to gank and kill almost anyone solo because of her good base damage,execute and red buff/red smite and after 6 you cant even fight back because she will just put her R and good luck,you cant trade kills even if u are fed and yes,also she is very mobile.She has everything.

The only thing that Kindred had good going, is the early game sustain with W (a new buff that Riot gave, heal from monsters), other good things were; the E exucute (even though it will only Crit if you are below 15% maximum health) and the R (that can be used against Kindred).

But other than that her base damage on abilities is quite awful, that's why everyone builds Crit because her abilities alone don't have enough damage or decent scallings to build full AD.

Base damage on E ? REd buff/red smite abuse with her high AS and range ? Thats retarded amounts of base damage.

Kha'Zix was OP because of his R stealth in bushes. It took a while to fix because they needed to fully rework his evolved passive. Kindred, however, got buffed literally 4 patches in a row. That's so excessive, and now she's overtuned. A nerf was needed for both, but Kha'Zix is more complicated.

I only cared to look into this because Kindred is one of my many mains, Rito pls don't nerf them.

I main them since the start of this season, but it isn't why I don't want to be nerfed. They were good somehow before the buffs. Kindred is kind of unique champion, one of the few ranged jungle champions. Gameplay kind of changed after people started playing them.

Even with these recent buffs Kindred still feels like the same as before, they don't feel a whole lot stronger. So, why nerf them Riot?

I'd say you need to know what you're doing to play kindred.I don't think a nerf was needed for her ult or w.Only problem I ever have with kindred is if she gets fed all she does is spend time on the opposite teams jg.Getting farmed by kindred is way to easy when she is ahead.You can't really run away especially without using flash.I think most of her is fine but once she does get strong she is overbearing and can completely take both jungles without a problem.Even if the team comes she has some good mobility, and kiting.
