KINDREDS NERF

Quantum Rush ··3 votes·583 views

Kindred is basically useless in top now since their nerf You cant use her q and they're trying to make wolf be more viable... he really doesn't do much unless your jg.... riot said they don't force a champion down a certain lane but when kindred's w gets buffed to 50% damage to monsters it just shows that they're forcing them jg which isn't good anymore because her q starts off on a 4 second cool down with wolf so you take more damage than necessary and you cant go top because top because they are dependent on the Q ability to jump around and kite the enemy champion but clearly the main idea of kindred is being thrown away... They say kindreds early game was too strong but there as been many times that I've played her it has shown other wise So yet again riot is forcing her into the jungle because riot wants you to play the champion how they want you too... So basically Kindred top is dead and Kindred adc is dead and almost in any other lane she is dead because they decided to throw away her whole idea of being a fast marksman who kites the enemies, I mean Kalista didn't even get that much of a nerf and she was also ment to kite the enemies too.

But... Kindred was literally DESIGNED to be played in the jungle...

I'd think the whole jungle camps giving passive stacks thing would make that pretty obvious... Any position for Kindred other than jungle has always been and will likely always be sub-optimal.

Mid Kindred works pretty well. You have a ton of sustain (especially how I build them) and have the power to roam to gank and take marks if you need them

Youre not really getting the point of this thread. Sugar says that Riot doesn't enforce a role onto a champion, which in fact they have said that. By pushing these nerfs on to kindred and sub-sequently sending them more into the jungle, they're enforcing the jungle roll. This person obviously loves Kindred top more.

They don't enforce where a champion goes, but they have to balance the champion around where the champion is actually going. Jungle Kindred needed a nerf and trying to nerf her in a way that doesn't hit an off-role that is already pretty bad and rarely played complicates an already complicated problem.

If Zed needs a nerf, does he need to be nerfed in a way that protects all the Zed support players out there? Do they need to give him a compensation buff to another part of his kit so Zed support isn't more nonsensical than it already is?
