Kindred Really Isn't That Bad

Stop being winrate focused, she's really good if you know how to kite and animation cancel.

I've played a ton of games with Kindred, and I really enjoy playing them. Once you get good at her, you can snowball games quickly by translating your early lead into a tower and/or drag.

Here's a bit of a tip: Right click your target in the middle of your dash. Your auto completes as soon as you finish dashing, and it resets your autoattack timer, allowing you to get more hits off.

Literally any champion can do well if you know how to use them well. That doesn't mean kindred isn't a bad spot right now though.

People dissing your main just feels so bad...

So I posted this.

Precisely. The second highest winrate in the game right now is Aurelion Sol jungle. Who plays Sol jungle you might ask? People who realllllly like Sol jungle, or 0.2% of the playerbase.

I like how your top 2 champs are really skill based. Then theres Garen.

I was a noob back then, played the heck out of that champion.

I've been looking to pick up Fiora, she takes some serious skill. Then I'll be able to replace that scum that's infesting my profile.

I thought people were gonna be like: ANYONE CAN PHOTOSHOP THAT SHIT.

I uploaded the original at first because I didn't want people to see I used to main Garen. USED TO.

I was a noob at that point, alright?

Like sure, she's still high skillcap and some people can do well with her. What I was trying to say is, with absolutely abysmal winrates until 125+ games on her in Plat+ ELO, it's probably not worth picking her up to start learning her. If you're a hardcore Kindred main though, you should stick with her.

{quoted} If you're a hardcore Kindred main though

I think the image implied that.

Yeah, for you, it's fine. I'm just saying the skillcurve over experience is so punishing now that it's not worth it to play Kindred unless one is already a long-time main of them, basically to like the general audience in a way. So no, Kindred isn't bad, she still has immense potential. It's just she's effectively bad for most because to get to said potential, it takes a ton of experience.

Yeah, I'm aware of that. I just wish people would stop treating the hardcore mains like the first timers.

There's a clear difference.
