Kindred

Kindred Kindred, the Eternal hunters.

Such a unique twist onto that whole grim reaper fantasy theme and yet they feel so flat in-game.

I love this champion so much but I'll have to admit after the rework I am really struggling to make them work, they feel so damn weak at almost every stage of the game, I've tried a variety of builds and play styles but it doesn't matter, if your team falls behind it is so difficult to pull it back on them you literally require the enemy team to stand still and let you auto them praying that they don't turn their attention onto you.

Riot made them into a scaling CRIT marksman in the JUNGLE which I feel was such a huge mistake they need items and passive stacks to become a viable threat and gaining those stacks demands so much risk.

Why would you pick Kindred now? When there are so many other better options.

Pre rework I had a reason to pick them especially in the tank meta % health autos? Yes thank you!

Now if I'm in champ select I don't think 'Oh I can play Kindred because...' there is no reason to pick them.

I'm hoping that other Kindred mains out there (All 3 of you) might have similar experience/advice?

Yes, she's bad right now. Riot has been buffing her regularly, and I believe she has another buff slated for the patch that's about to come out.

I think just re-reworking her is better than trying to buff what they broke.

But... what buff? From the sounds of it, 7.16's buff has to do something about the visibility of Kindred's ult in Spectate mode.

And they removed her buff from the 7.15 which was a response to a bug fix.

I've been making her work, and I got a pretty high win rate on her... but she just feels like shit now. A constant struggle, even when you are supposed to be big.

I just checked again, and it got reverted. There was going to be a buff to her Q.
