Is kindred OK botlane?

I want to learn all the roles to a decent level, and I found I like the most Are they considered a 'snowball reliant' laner?

Thanks for any help/feedback if I pursue this more than the little bit I've done.

No. Kin needs to snowball via jungle. Don't take them bot lane, ever.

Since the nerfs, it's unplayable

It's hard for her to get her passive stacks off the jungle camps when you play botlane, so it's really just not worth it.

It all depends on how well you know how to use Kin and the sup you have but I have seen her do fair bttm. I would give it a shot. Talk it over in queue and see if the team agrees. I for one like to be a team player when champ selection is up but I also feel I bought the champ and the skin out right and if I want to run them in a position and I know it wont hurt the team but help them then I explain why I choose a certain champ. A lot of people I have ran across as of late have this certain meta in there head that only 5 champs can be ran and where they go and if you don't listen they throw the game to try to prove to you that your selection didn't work even though you did your job and didn't feed and held lane. I would say try it. I have seen it work.

Shes retardedly strong in laning phase b/c of her passive heal. But after laning phase has passed, adc kindred is kinda not very good. Reason being....jungle kindred can farm for her stacks very easily all over the map...adc kindred is stuck in a lane for 15-20 min and cant farm her stacks at all. Leaving her mid/late game very lackluster honestly

Win lane or lose game.

With a strong CC (or tanky CC) support, and if you bully the hell out of the other lane, it can work.

The most important thing is if you force the enemy out of lane and it's early, roam to pick up marks. Basically anything but the enemy top side jungle, as that's too far.
