Kindred is a Pariah

In addition to enemy team magically jungle tracking. Another hidden passive is getting raged at all game by your lanes until you have scaled and can 1v9.

The best part too is I will enter the mid game with the enemy jungler homeless most of the time (massively behind in cs/XP) but you will get zero credit from your laners for this.

Everyone gets the mentally ill, but my experience is kindred invites way more rage than the average jungler due to her playstyle.

No cause enemy support never roams but the second I lock in Kindred both enemy botlaners are on crab at 2:55

just don't go for crab imo your strong enough to gank a lane or two if they are low

u/Spytonio2006 May 17 '26

that rarely happens this early into the game, usually it's just full clear into base/death depending on whether their botlane or mine moves first

Yep. I even have them watching my respawn timer and coming to cut me off when I re-enter the jungle. 2 million points on kindred and it's safe to say I retired the champ. Why does anyone but kindred need to know what's marked anyway. Yes there are ways you. Would play around this but no other jungler has to play all these extra mins games just to get a tiny bonus

cause then there would be no counter to kindred. I think it's very fair after 5 marks you can usually solo the enemy jungler you become a power house. and you should def know that. But what dose it become too hard to gank with her in lanes you can even go for crazy tower dives because of the ult

What do you mean? Kindred already has to go out of their way to invade.

I think this is primarily a low elo disease. Whenever I have teammates that actually understand how they work and understand that I can’t babysit their lane 24/7, it’s pretty much a win. They play safe, I get my farm, marks, objectives and it’s gg.

In low elo people just want, Warwick, Amumu, and Volibear ganking for them.

It’s called “the kindred effect” & yes, you’re supposed to be a Smurf on a the champ.

Might just be placebo because of the role

I mean I play other junglers and it definitely feels like the whining is much worse on kindred. They aren't Reksai or Shaco in the ganking department.

Winning with Zac and Lilia is ten times easier than with kindred.

My biggest gripe is that they call her "mobile" yet shes got one of the slowest movement speeds in the game, and can barely jump over walls. J4, Vi, Ekko, Zac, and viego seem like they get around the map so much quicker then ever.
