"Kindred is going to be overloaded/broken/overpowered"

They said that the AP itemization changes would make broken.

REALITY: Vladimir didn't changed that much, but the meta changed and people forgot that Vladimir exists.

They said that would be very weak with the Juggernaut rework.

REALITY: Skarner was incredibly broken; as broken as old Kassadin and early season 5 Warwick. They had to hotfix him because Skarner was so incredibly powerful.

CONCLUSION: Stop assuming that a certain champion will be broken or weak before he actually hits live. This applies not only to new champions, but to old champions will be reworked. It has been only a few hours since Kindred was revealed and I am already seeing people calling his kit "overloaded"!

Kindred haven't even hit PBE yet, so there's literally no way to know how strong they are.

She (As Lamb is the main one) seems like she's going to be really strong if played right or snowballing really hard if they're allowed to jungle safely or gank often. But otherwise, they seem entirely balanced.

well ill just assume that what they wrote down for his kit is what he is then.

His kit is overloaded with mobility, utility, and anything that creates an "undying" effect will always feel like total bullshit when used Tryndamere Bard so, just like the last bullshit champion they vomited out of their new content team Ekko he will be banned for 2 weeks, over played in team builder, then nerfed 2 - 3 patches in row OR tie Kalista in the most bullshit champ ever and never really get messed with like LeeSin until he becomes unpopular and get a buff because bigplays
