I know her W scales off of AS, but it doesn't make sense why they'd skip Warrior all together. Maybe the earlier AS will help stack her E better? Anybody have thoughts as to why it's being valued over Warrior. Most NA Junglers go Warriors on Kindred instead of Devourer.
FurretHasAGlock3 votesThe post above is true as well, but I think the main reason would be her passive, as it deals percent health damage on hit per stack she gains.

Lol, makes sense. But yeh, I've been playing her a lot recently with spotty results and everytime I look into something to try and continue getting better I always run into building discrepancies. Korean's go Devourer, everybody else goes Warrior. Some get no AS and go full Armor Pen, others go pure AS. I'm beginning to think she can be built anyway you want to really, as long as you can play to that style.
Leanus Crain2 votesIt's the Koreans they could build luden's on kindred and it could work.
Hello I am Bird1 votesKoreans can build anything and make it work.
You judge.
You die.

I'm not saying it's terrible or anything, I am just curious if it's worth giving a shot or if somebody could explain why it would be a better build path than Warrior.
The information I would gather as to why is this..
But with all of that, it's still a risky call going Devourer. She does not scale as hard as Yi does, and does not get the 2 hit passive on Devourer anymore (changed to 4 for ranged). Although with her passive stacked 6+ and a BoRK, you would be doing significant chunks to tanks on attack 4. I've only tried it once and the game didn't last long enough to really get a good gauge of it (loss in a normal).
Hello I am Bird1 votesOh, I'm not actually sure myself. It's just more the fact that everyone hails the koreans and what they do as gods, and am poking fun at that.
Zorasama1 votesThey could build her full AP and still stomp your team
Wild Wes1 votesIt's because of her passive dealing %health damage. It's like why Shyvana's go BORK except Kindred has the damage on her auto attacks already without needing to throw a fireball at enemies first.

I can stack my passive pretty effectively on her, and can usually hit 6 stacks before 20 no problem. So 6 * 1.25 = 7.5% health per auto, which is better than a BoRK currently (6%). Usually can end a game with around 10-12 stacks, because once laning phase is over, and you're capped at 6 (since it'll move to epics after 6), you're really just marking randomly to stack it since you can't mark in the middle of a fight. So a build like..
or 
would be substantial on her.
FioraWillCarry1 votesI don't know how many of you know this but when Kindred was released, Devourer was the recommended enchantment not Warrior. They changed it in one of the patches before the end of season 5. Everybody was using Warrior at the time as it was more powerful as it had armor pen. I guess Riot took notice and changed it. But all my best games with her were with Devourer. She seems to be a better duelist with attack speed.

When she was released, Devourer worked on ranged champions the same way it did for melee. She'd chunk with Devourer + Passive + BoRK (at 8% instead of 6%) so every 2 autos would hit 15.5% > 31% health damage. Where now with BoRK (6%), it would be closer to 13.5% > 13.5% > 13.5% > 27%. Plus back then, the Warrior had armor pen which made it a lot better.
