Kindred is trash

Riot it amazes me how you guys either smash a rework out of the ball park or flop really hard on them. Kindred was in a better spot before her rework which is fucked up because they were considered to be below average then. I visit the Kindred mains reddit pretty often and pretty much they all are rushing item 3031 first after item 3715 because there is no jungle item option for them that works well. Warrior clear is too slow and delays your core build too much. Warrior does not give crit; it does not fit with Kindred's new kit. As for Bloodrazor, Kindred is not an on-hit champion anymore, thus Bloodrazor does not have the same synergy it used to. It's just not strong enough to warrant buying.

I don't think the rework was a complete failure, it's cool how they can function without marks in general but they could still use some work. Also, can something be done about marking champions actually making the enemy be scared? Warwick's mark is a perfect example of this.

No, she was not better before her rework. She was one of the worst champions in the game.

"They", not "she". They were much better before rework. Why do you thinkthe were the worst champ? Now the best build skips jg item upgrade. Now best Kindred players can't get to 50% winrate, they hover around 48%. Crit items are too expencive for a jungler. Jungler work is helping team in early, but it's the weakest phase for Kindred as they are adc. Jungler needs some CC for ganks, but the only CC Kindred have is also their execution spell.

Doesnt have to do with the rework being bad. Zac was also just sitting at 38% wr after the rework after he got his buffs. Stop crying and just wait for her to be buffed

Yeah, except he got buffed next patch. Kindred's all buff got reverted and will maybe come back in 7.13? Also I think he got something more than +2 base AD, because that's what Riot planned for Kindred

Oh, so the +3 armor got reverted. my bad. But see what kind of buffs Kindred gets compared to Zac? Laughable 2AD and less mana on E? Kindred doesn't have problems with mana at all

Dont deny the power of a buff.

Vayne's 3 AD nerf in the past lowered her winrate by 3% (from 52-49%)

Lamb is a female, you play as lamb, I will call her as such. You don't call Kled "they" either, do you?

Kindred got nerfed into oblivion. Picking her meant you were at a disadvantage because of how far away from the meta junglers she was. They reworked her and removed the problematic parts of her kit and made it possible for her to be buffed in the future without becoming the same issue all over again.

Well because Kled is Kled and Skaarl is Skaarl, Kindred is both Lamb and Wolf. But yeah, I call them "she" most of the time regardless lel

That won't help much :/ I already commented about every problem there is about this rework in my opinion on this page.

I think alot of kindred's problems lie in the fact that people force them into comps without a front line

I've never seen rito trash a champion as fast as kindred. Ghostcrawler must hate them.
