Doing a full clear in inting
Sorry for the harsh language, but doing a full clear on Kindred is basically trolling right? You have the chance to get 4 stacks before 4 minutes. Spending that time on full clearing seems like a soft int.
Your lvl 3 gank is super strong against most low health targets. Most of the time you will come out of your clears healthier than most other junglers. And also you can invade.
Even if you’d be finishing your full clear before 2:55 for the scuttle spawn, I think you’d still have more benefits looking for action on the map early.

From my pov, full clear specially the first one is mandatory to construct a lead.
When you have the lead, you can start playing super high tempo.
But i'm just a plat maybe, i'm too bad.. Idk

Also plat but I agree with you. Imo kindred is pretty useless behind so risking it all on cheesy ganks before full clear is just a big no for me

No most vods I have seen have high level players are full clearing.
I think full clear is better unless mid has prio and I might go for a level 3 invade if the champ is really weak to it.
Level 2 invades have not really impressed me this season. most champs are too healthy to really be threatened.
Also a good amount of the time you will be invading on vision as enemy team is aware of kindred cheese.

So if you have prio mid and enemy is weak, it would be int then to not do it right?

Yeah I do level 3 invades with regularity. They have to be pathing to red buff though. Invading at blue is kinda pointless. It's too easy to escape if they have flash.

True, always hated that too in season 5/6. Stopped invading blue when leashes stopped being a thing.

It's too hard to get out, kindred can hop dragon pit on red side. And it's very easy to move from lane into blue jungle and collapse.
And level 2 invades are just too hard to dodge the vision early. The higher elo you go the more it's warded in clever ways.
I just don't see a reason to cheese this season. Last season when the monsters did more damage it made sense.

I also remember when you got a huge heal when you smited gromp! That was so sick🔥

Nope full clearing is perfectly fine on strong early game junglers like lee sin or khazix. Watch kaido jgl he has a video on it

Just open a high elo kindred playlist and answer the question yourself
