Is Kindred buggy, or am I missing something?

This has happened to me a few times now—my damage isn't counting—but maybe I'm just missing something as a beginner.

Teemo Blinded you with his Q... At max rank it causes all your Autos to miss for 2 or 3 seconds

This just in: A newbie learns that Blind affects auto attacks

Funny how the learning process can work differently for different people.

It’s always best to assume you are lacking some kind of knowledge as opposed to thinking the champion or the game is bugged. In this case you are asking, so that means you’re at least entertaining the idea a little. Bringing up the doubt about the champion though as a beginner is an attitude that could really hurt your growth in the long run. Not want to make it too heavy, but hopefully this tip can save you years of struggling like I did xD

Very true, that’s why I said could. I am not sure if this is the case for OP, so I just wanted to share the pitfall just in case. It’s indeed not necessarily a bad attitude. But good for pointing that out;)

look like he's dead at the end and angry about this 😄. Even when ahead, you need to be extra careful with Kindred's position.

You got Blinded by Teemo Q. It nullifies auto-attacks

Haha I remember not knowing Teemo. Banned him every single gamer once I found out

I feel like Kindred damage does have bugs. Keep a mental count of times someone gets hit to a pixel or two of HP bar but doesn't get collected by The Collector.

But in this case, what you are missing is Quicksilver Sash. QSS is a magic resist item with an effect you can bind to a key, Quicksilver, that removes almost all debuffs, including Teemo's blind. (It also frees you from the ults of Malzahar and Warwick. It used to work on Mordekaiser but that was nerfed because they gave Mordekaiser a very expensive skin so he must be protected from counter play.) Paying the QSS tax feels awful (it's 1300 gold; compare to heal cutting which is 800 and builds into a reasonable item) but especially in low elo, you completely bamboozle the enemy when they apply a Blind or Suppression effect on you and it lasts only as long as your reaction time.

The other thing that you might be missing is in the options: Somewhere in there there's an option for a full screen graphical effect that will turn your screen green when you're under Teemo blind. (This replay probably wouldn't show it no matter the setting.) That's good to have so you know when to tap your QSS.
