Kindred needs a huge buff.

I just played kindred again. I got a couple of early kills and ganked well. Then I had no damage for the next 40 minutes. It was pretty much a 4v5. I could'nt do anything. My autos felt like i was shooting paper arrows. Kindred's win rate is also really low; its hanging around 45%.

How many marks did you have by the end of the game?

Kindred doesn't need a huge buff. We don't want to see a Kindred dominant jungle again. Even in her current "weak" state, a good Kindred player can do well without problem.

She doesn't even top a 50% win rate. At all, under any amount of games. I wouldn't call that "doing well"

I like Kindred, and I like playing Kindred even though I suck at them But they're just too good when they get ahead. Infinitely stacking % current HP damage is extremely powerful, and makes them unbalanced if their early game isn't weak. Because Kindred is a snowballer.

Kindred snowballs incredibly powerfully, and if fed it's pretty much GG because a well stacked Kindred doesn't really have difficulties fighting anything that's not a Rammus, Malphite, or fed Veigar.

As it currently is, Kindred is a lategame champion. Which is good, because when their early game was strong they dominated the jungle.

Kindred is a ADC, after all if you feed the botlane it's pretty much a gg, so Kindred it's the same.

That why i don't understand people like you :/.

At the same time Kindred need some power in early, to make their late game.

=> mark, you need to fight for mark, but you can't actually. (try to invade correctly with Kindred lol, i think you have a big surprise when you are spotted by the jungler ...)

All the kindred hate :c

Rather than Kindred hate, it's more of "Don't give unnecessary buffs" fever. It reminds people of things like the 3 hit crit Xin got out of nowhere.

Sidenote: Nice summ name, Shyvy is adorable c:

well, riot hasnt moved it yet. so im fine.

Yeah now that I think about it. All they did was raise her skill floor a bit so she's a high skill floor/cap champ when she used to be low floor high cap. If you don't know what you're doing pure gonna get Rolf stomped. Since she's a popular champ many people are playing her and getting stomped, causing her win rate to be low. But in reality she's still a monster. It just takes work.

She still a monster in your dream , if you see a Kindred in game just rush their jungle and kill them, it's like a 4vs5 when it's happen.

The think with Kindred is she basically can only jungle so if she's weak she not gonna see any play. I believe she was over nerfed.
