why did riot make kindred such a useless champion now? Some may have argued that kindred was an overpowered champ on release but that shouldn't mean to nerf her into the ground making her unplayed in all regions and not even fun now. Riot has made kindred useless and i am pissed.
She was pretty overpowered. Her statistics indicate that she is fine now.
Edit: https://champion.gg/champion/Kindred Oh maybe not. I hate Kindred but maybe she could use a small buff.
Mastery 7 here.
Very weak after fervor changes and new jungle is unfriendly to them, but it's generally fine.
I am annoyed that they kept going on about kindred being a high skill champ when to use that as an excuse to nerf mechanics that were actually quite simple. And kept nerfing the damage for functioning as a champ who's late relied directly on their early.
Kindred main Mastery 7 here.
Honestly, I started playing them about a month and half ago way after those nerfs. I can kill and carry just fine it's a bit hard ultra late game, but early and mid game they are really good. The CD on their ult is a bit much, but other than that they are fine. The only thing that bothers me is their W will not attack enemies that go into a bush or behind a bush where their is no vision even when you has lamb run through the bush and continue attacking wolf just sits there and does nothing. You can easily do this bug with the scuttle crab when it's making it's way behind that little bush in the river.
The new jungle isn't too bad for her just takes a bit more kiting.
this is my typical build if the enemy team is 100% AD I switch guardian angel out for thornmail.
Kindred are still good but not as strong as before. But she's not as strong as the other niche picks except in the hands of Kindred mains.
kin was the first actual jungler i learned, i miss the passive heal, but i understand how broken she could be, being a %hp marksmen and all
Jungle main here, playing a champion that gets progressively weaker the longer the game goes on and provides less and less map presence and utility the farther in you are is just a terrible choice for a jungler, maybe it would be acceptable for a tank jungler but for a squishy one shotted thing with ranged attacks rivaling twisted fate? hah no thanks.
also you could play kindred but why bother? just grab graves and be strong early while growing even stronger every second that passes while laughing.
well, let's say it like that... kindred is the only champion i got more than 20 kills (with like 6 deaths) on a losing game since i returned from a long hiatus 3 weeks ago
here's the deal with kindred, she's balanced high tier rank, but that's a problem, she needs balancing so that she's good in low tier ranks, she has the 'Azir' problem, azir is god-like in high tier play, even get's banned, but in lower ELO he's shit.
I plan to buy her next, by the time I hit ranked/learn how to play her properly she'll be good to go Kappa.
Kindred useless? Don't make me laugh. These have been considered significantly more useless, but can still make game-changing impacts with skill.
