ast season I consistently bounced around plat 3-diamond promos with Kindred, and pretty much am doing the same thing this season only I am already pretty close to hitting diamond this season.
Feel free to ask questions while I'm messing around with Heroes of the Storm and eating some cereal.
Also, I'm apparently the 700th best Kindred in the world atm. I'm certain that number will dwindle once I get out of plat.
I main jungle and have been interested in bringing Kindred in my champion pool, I still have to get another 3000 ip to get her, but any advice on starting off with her? Such as early game-late game, common items to build and clear routes? Much appreciated!
To first get the hang of her.
I'd start with a very basic set of adc runes since those are easier to clear with. You don't really want to delve into the more complex rune pages until after you have a really good feel for her/know your damage/what you're capable of vs X champ.
Clear paths it really varies by jungler and what rank you're at.
For ex: If I'm up against champs like Lee Sin/ Rengar/Nidalee there's a pretty good chance I might get level 2 cheese invaded. So, before I even start my red ((Stone golem side start)) I'll ward the bush behind it by physically walking over there. Otherwise I'll just do stone brothers, red, and then rush over to blue hit blue smite blue and then go invade them at their red and kill them.
If you're not feeling as dangerous/deadly back and then play the patient game.
by patient game I mean if you're mark lands on a scuttle bug/chicken people you can just chill by it and wait for the enemy jungler to come try and nab it up and then you can kill them + mark and then go gank. But, Kindred in a nut shell is a hyper tempo champ where you attempt to destroy people as fast as possible, aacquire a large amount of marks so that you can secure late game.
That's pretty much your core right now. Don't really care what anyone else says, BOTRK is a must on Kindred. The active + the additional scale to your passive makes it better on you than any champ due to how percents work. 
is very niche and only useful if you're really ahead/know what you're doing/against a specific team comp. Other than that 
is typically the roster of items you'll be buying. In a realistic world you'll almost never hit 5 to 6 items. So, in most matches you'll typically look like this: 
come late game, it's best to place your marks on the tanks/bruisers/assassins like Rengar and sit in the back. This is the most effective way of acquiring marks late game since those champs are the ones that usually dive your adc and they basically deliver themselves right to you. So, if you win the team fight, or at least break even you'll almost always get a mark from every fight.
Don't you feel Kindred could use a buff tho for their attack speed? It seems to be like the slowest attack speed in the entire game of all adc's. Seems to be. You will either first before forced to waste gold on buying attack speed items, or rush the jungler item, or BORK.
I just think they could use an attack speed update, and oh, a fricking mana update. Their mana sustain is very low, again, most other junglers have better mana sustains. Once you pop W, and use a full chain of W, you're practically out of mana from using the Q/dance of arrows.
So mana and attack speed.
Other than that, Kindred is honestly fine where they are at. Just wondering if you think they could use a buff in those fields,especially the mana sustain field. Kindred is in my top 5 favorite champions on League tho after Ekko, Riven, and so on.
