Please don't go through on the new Kindred nerf

I get it, she is too strong in higher Elo right now, and I am assuming by the new nerfs you are feeling as though the last round of nerfs didn't help it entirely, but please don't remove their jungle sustain.

Maybe in higher Elo it's just extra power, but in lower elo where people aren't as good at kiting and such, it'll be a lot harder to clear, and it's going to make them really hard for new players to pick up, or lower elo players to play at all. If you really want to touch on their sustain, lower the amount of stacks gained from moving, or eliminate them entirely and make it only gain stacks on attack. That way they will be much weaker in higher elos where kiting is utilized properly, and they will be only a little bit weaker in lower elo where barely anyone properly kites the jungle camps.

I don't want to see kindred being able to 1v1 bruisers and juggernauts even when he gets in melee range because of his low cds and insane damage and sustain

Honestly I'm tired of how soft riot has been on kindred despite her being so massively overpowered for a number of months. The thought of going light on her again so she can continue to be easy mode sickens me.

I can understand tuning down a champ that is oppressive in lower elos but leaving a blatantly overpowered champ alone because low elos don't know how to move between attacks is dumb. How about we make kalista just auto kite when attacking while we're at it? Sounds great.

First of all, i'm not really sure how Riot has been soft on them. That last set of nerfs really hurt their early game hard and shifted their power spike to mid game, but just overall it was a pretty harsh nerf.

The healing nerf that I proposed would be light on lower elos and harsh on upper elos. I obviously don't have any stats because idk where to fine Plat- win statistics but most Kindreds I see aren't that great or hard to deal with. Again, not saying they aren't that good right now, just that people in lower elos can't effectively use them too much.

Also I can't really tell if you're joking when you are talking about Kalista auto kiting while attacking? I think you're joking? I'm 95% sure you're joking.

Due to the location of the image I'm curious if its just for ARAM since the picture taken is on the Howling Abyss...

I noticed that too and hope you are right

I can hope so too. I'll just sit back and wait though since that PBE update is still a W.I.P.

Nope, update today says that they are lowering their base armor and armor growth (a lot), but they are adding a 50% slow vs monsters on w to compensate for the heal removal.

Thanks for letting me know. Haven't checked it since then.

Let it happen, there needs to be a difference between the long time main kindred and the trash lcs wannabe kindreds.

Its a bit unfair that she keeps being nerfed patch after patch I think she shouldnt loose that heal.
