How are the changes in the jg going to affect kindred?

I've been curious as one of my favorite champions is kindred, and i'm gonna start picking them up again, so, as the title says, any changes that will affect kindred?

edit: how did this get a downvote... it's just a question..

Well, they haven't removed or added any camps, so I don't see how she's going to change mechanically. She's going to need number tweaking, sure, she's needed that since the overzealous nerfs, but that's about it

mmhm, I actually was gonna main kindred (they was one of the first few champs i bought) the first time i got on league of legends i saw kindred and fell in love with them. The nerfs hit them way to hard, I keep trying but my marks get stolen, I get killed so fast and don't deal enough damage. I had 18 marks in one game and still didn't do much damage :I

Their really not weak at all, can I ask do you kite camps properly and do a full clear close to 100% HP? And how do you build them?

I'm not the greatest at iting at low lvls as I'm still trying to find out the boundaries for monsters, and it's hard to kite since basic attacks are undodgeable. been awhile but i start off with: bloodrazor, bork, boots of mobility, bloodthirster, ruunans, and trinity force

Trinity force isn't the best buy on Kindred due to the fact that they have one of the lowest base Attack Damage in the game. Black Cleaver or Phantom Dancer would be better for kiting/ chasing purposes.

Sorry for the late reply.

For this posts reputability please refer to my kindreds ranked win rate (81%)

Bork, trinity and bloodthirster are bad buys, his is because kindred does not scale with attack damage they scale with armour shred/penetration so your runes first off need to be penetration runes mostly.

As for the build bloodrazor yup that's my main buy however straight after is hurricane this alone gives her tons of early game power and more burst as you trigger your E on targets a lot quicker.

After that buy black cleaver, then maw if you need resist or if you need armour but sterraks gage, however if your facing an ap jungler after bloodrazor buy hexdrinker then go on to build hurricanes.

After that ghost blade/blood thirster/guardians/infinity are good buys.


As for camp kiting use the walls, pull them and hop over the wall press W hop back over and of course use the full leash (I still can't do this all he time 100%)

As for moves I'm not sure if you do but always take W first it's deceiving but does more damage than q or E and max w first so go W>Q>E max W then max Q and E last.

Edit: try not to use Q or E in your first few jungle rotations otherwise you'll find mana depleting quickly and your banks will be limited and you really want first blood if you can get it.

Last thing try NEVER to use E on jungle camps if you can help it as it really does deplete your mana once you have bloodrazor you clear super fast anyways

Of course use it on dragon and a baron.


Sorry I swear this is the last point, you can solo drake at level 5 incredible fast just try to have raptors to sweep quick.

And a little trick if you just before the auto attack animation ends press Q when you lane you fire two shots so you can stack your E and prof it almost immediately for burst on ganks (or team fights)

Yes pretty much I will screenshot my masteriesif you like? Won't be quick though as I'm about to go to work you could check op.gg for thenmastieres I guess?

eh, i'd rather see what you have in mind

B00B001 votes

Mmm have in mind? Have in mind for what exactly? Dinner? Lol

AgeOfTheMage1 votes

also for quints, should i get armor pen or attack speed?

B00B001 votes

I use attack speed I prefer them as they help me clear faster earlier, I do have armour pen set though saved and ready as if I'm fighting a tanks jungle I'm going to need more pen early to invade than speed.
