Whats with the gutting of kindred

Been awhile since I played league, but kindred was my favorite jungler when I left. I came back to find her practically gutted. Why? From what I see they nerfed several aspects of her, and removed her heal sustain..

This boggles my mind. Then again I've never thought highly of the riot balance team, they tend to lash out randomly at champs for reasons, then leave half of them untouched and move onto a new "problem" slash half the champs, ignore the others, and move on.

Kindred atm is in such a shitty spot. With her sustain removed, she can't reliably go into enemy jungles to get her marks, as even if you do manage to kill a jungler, I've noticed many people will come to kill your mark even nearby laners. If you wait until a lane is backed with a jungler gone, chances are your mark is gone too.

Most junglers have some form of built in sustain, either through shields, or passive heals, or just straight up tankiness, Kindred has none of that anymore. Leaving her on lower than normal health compared to other junglers, making her unable to 1v1 in most cases, and therefore unable to get her marks in enemy jungles, or risk dieing in the attempt.

Her kit has low mobility, and with most champs having dashes, binds, slows, and knock up/backs, they an easily wait till your E, then do one of their own gap closers, binds, slows, etc. and you can't capitalize on your only way to keep the enemy within auto range, even with your Q.

Her Q not prioritizing champs has been an issue since release, which still makes for awkward moments when minions are around.

Her Ult, which is extremely clutch, and niche and is only helpful half the time which doesn't take into account it requires team coordination, and or intelligent use that you can't bet on seeing in most pub matches, or ranked matches, unless you're in a 5 man team, making her ult just about useless to most people. An ult that can just as easily turn a game entirely in the enemy teams favor with 1 mistake click.

Her attack speed seems to have been gutted, as well as damage. I need to build almost full attack speed runes, masteries, and items to get any amount of proper damage out of her at any point in the game, early, mid, or late. Which makes her very squishy, and low over all damage, until you can get your marks stacked, but you can't get your marks stacked because you have no sustain to risk the enemy jungle, unless you're already snowballing. Your only chance is to mark enemies and gank them, but in most cases when an enemy is marked they play safe, and are very difficult to kill...

So you're fucked, no matter what you do, unless you're playing against a significantly lower skill level of players. Which shouldn't be a champs balance point...
