Lets just call Kindred a Marksman who has the potential to Solo Lane situationally within Competitive Play and Ranked Teams in which the Support and Top Lane together when they get laneswapped on.
A purely ranged jungler seems gimmicky as hell.
Tartoken1 votesI have just seen Kindred and their abilities, I was kindof worried at first. Her Ulti was the thing that worried me more, just because you can end up accidentally giving the other team a heal. Although, I think a ranged jungler would be quite cool, seeing as there aren't too many ranged junglers at the moment. One thing I do like about Kindred is their Q ability combined with W which would make Kindred into a more mobile and untouchable state. Still don't know about Kindred's Ulti though...
ABlueQuaker2 votesThe Ultimate is interesting to say the least. As a dedicated AD Carry, it would be the only reason to pick Kindred over something like Jinx or Sivir.
Mark my words, though, Kindred will not be played as a Jungler in competitive play unless it is severely overtuned - and surely Sated Devourer will have something to do with that if it happens.
Tartoken1 votesYes, very true that. I am really looking forward to seeing if this champ works out as a jungler though, maybe in the future? I don't know. Kindred is a very, very interesting champ at the moment, in my opinion...
Randomonium1 votesYeah, I'm very interested to see how well sated devourer works with Kindred. I'm assuming that with it she can proc the bonus damage from her E in just 2 auto attacks.

she is actually really good in the jungle. I was able to clear blue, gromp wolfs, pickup a kill mid, chickens red, and stones on first round if you kite well enough
Dryad Soraka1 votesJunglers aren't strictly melee..... . .. . soooo... . . .
Tartoken1 votesYeah i thought that too, though I would like to see if it works out. Maybe... just maybe...
Bronze 71 votesi dont know what is gimmicky means(if u mean a range jungler can be op in that situation), my opinion:it can be if there was a twitch player,or maybe a quinn, or a less chance vayne(all i know),but that range jungler can be op if there is some sord of gap closing between her and the other opponent team/other than that:i dont think its gonna work(except if u be twitch)
