Kindred mains average a 62.4% win rate with them, the highest of any champion.

And people just picking them up average a 47.27% win rate on their first 5 games, and are above 50% beyond that. To put this in perspective, Azir starts at 44.06% and ends up at 55.06%, and Yasuo from 43.88% to 52.42%. (Source, for platinum and up ranked games this patch)

She's also the third most picked and second most banned jungler, and over a 90% pick/ban ratio in MSI, where she's won 15 out of 26 games. This isn't some obscure champion festering in the shadows of its mains, like Shaco or Fiddlesticks, this is a champion picked or banned in the majority of games.

And her core item, bloodrazor, is getting seriously buffed next patch.

MSI was on 6.8, the patch where kindred had a 56% winrate, they've since been heavily nerfed.

Kindred is also getting nerfed again in 6.10, so relax.

The best way to nerf Kindred is to make her Q function like Protobelt, where she fires arrows in a barrage in the direction she dashes, so that if she uses the ability to kite, she doesn't get extra damage on top of the escape. This will make her much more difficult to play and master and significantly reduce her reliability.

The problem with kindred is she doesnt sacrifice a damn thing at any point of the game.

Her E W and Q are some of the best Clearing/Sustain/Dueling tools for before lvl 6. so her early game is Amazing, and on top of that... She scales. its almost foolish trying to go for scuttles as a mark with an enemy kindred because she can and WILL 1v1 you unless your khazix.

By lvl 6 she already had some good stacks or good kills and to top it all off lvl 6 she becomes Tanky in a sense. She cannot die in her ult and has a pretty wide mobility in order to escape Death after the R finishes.

Riot should really look at their champs before making them. Kindred is either a OP or UP champion. Never can be well balanced,

While im here... Can we Nerf lucian?

The recent nerf to their Q in 6.9 hit them pretty hard (4% winrate drop). MSI was played on 6.8 (pre-nerf) so it was expected that we would see a ton of Kindred. Stats considering experience on a champ take a while to update since they usually only become accurate after a long period of time. Champion.gg's Champion Experience Graph is based on the last 2 patches (6.8 and 6.7) which are again pre-nerf and not the current 6.9 patch.

Quote from the website "Champion.gg bases all data off the current patch apart from the player experience section - which uses the past 2 patches." https://champion.gg/faq/

No offense man, but twisting statistics to prove your point like this is pretty dirty. You would make a great politician though :)

Jax starts at 42 and Jax mains only have a 50% winrate.

Balanced champ.

That kindred has a particular win% for the 2014-2015 Ranked Experience from the link you gave. Look at the patch by patch ave. win rate.

Kindred is broken, welcome to League of Legends.

It says (2014-2015 Ranked Experience)...

Not like it takes over 125 games and is a steady linear graph that directly correlates games played (aka, experience) to winrate. But sure, QQ more.

Yeah but Aurelion Sol mains (1% pickrate) have around a 60% win rate. We have to nerf him first.
