It's sad that they got me into jungling, I loved them since release, played them before they were even considered OP, then LCS junglers hit her up, and people realized how strong she was. I just don't feel she's great anymore, what do you guys think of her currently?
THEY are fine. Kindred's hovering around a 51% winrate currently which is actually pretty good. They can take Jungle Objectives extremely fast due to all the %health damage they stack up and can tear through targets (squishy or tanky) in the late game. The nerfs to the Q hurt their early dueling really badly though which caused most people to drop them. Overall just focus on getting stacks. If you get a decent amount (usually 8 or so) you'll be fine.
She's still pretty good but
A) You need to actually be good with her. Stats show her winrate goes up dramatically with number of games played. B) You need a team comp that can tolerate a squishy jungler with no CC. C) You need the game to go 30+ Mins. She needs time to scale up both her items and her passive stacks before she's strong.
Oh also it helps if your team actually knows wtf her ultimate does.
Don't be a hipster.
I don't like the ADC in the jungle idea.
Laning ranged vs melee is a big advantage for most. So a lot of times you don't want to pick a melee tank top, because your laning phase is going to suck. However junglers have NO REASON not to be melee. They don't need to contest creeps. They don't 1v1 the enemy jungler (at least if your laners respond to invades). So picking a range jungler really puts your team at a disadvantage I feel like.
Tank junglers are optimal. Tank supports are second best spot. Tank top is third best spot for tanks, and yet it's most often regarded as the most important spot.
I think that bitch got what she deserved.
extremely sub par champion, just dodge if someone pics it on your team
she's still very strong if you're good with her, but most people aren't so she seems weak
early game sucks since they nerf armor. you need to have decent mechanics to fully use her kit. kindred really doesnt feel that great to play in rank because their better champs to pick than kindred
im a meta-slave so i just dont play her anymore
I think she is fine, I can still win about 60% of my jungle matches on her in mid diamond rank (dropped a tad recently bad streak but was mid diamond).
