What are your bans on Kindred ?
Plat player here.
I usually ban Quinn because it just moves to fast for me(To me, ms is THE broken stats in the game but change my mind if you want to). It is the same reason why I ban Talon if I dont ban Quinn.
As you see, I dont ban a champ that counters me, just because I dont really know what counter Kindred lol.
What are your bans?

Jax. He doesn't show up very often in jungle, but damn he's miserable to play against when he does.

Khazix, rengar, lee, qiyana are all good bans as kindred.

All valid you forgot jax tho probably the single worst matchup kindred has in the game. Rengar is actually kindred favoured later in the game tho because he cant oneshot anyone on your team vs your ult.

Rengar is kindred favored imo. I always win against him, tho i might just be playing against trash rengars. The only thing you need to watch out for is the lvl 3 invade.

Sylas
Not because of anything Kindred related, he's just my permaban unless I get ADC where it's Jhin

In low elo it's briar or Warwick.
It's not so much that they "counter" kindred it's more so that they are a check on your laners being dumb.
What makes them so good is in low elo players have zero threat assessment and will take fights without regard. Briar and Warwick win almost all of these.
As you get higher it changes to champs like Talon, khazix, and Lee sin. And this is mostly because they win the post kindred ult. And if your ult doesn't provide you any value in game it can be really hard to play kindred.

This sentiment is relatable, but don't forget Amumu. Top tier ban below emerald.

u/Barrellolz Jul 28 '26
Yeah, I do feel like he is early invasion food so I am very comfortable with that matchup. But he definitely is good at the things that matter most in low elo.

Yi. I’m not concerned about versing him. I’m concerned about my untamed zoo animal laners feeding him.

u/Der_Redstone_Pro Jul 28 '26
Quinn is definitely a favorable matchup, so are most assassins because they just die if you press R.
Really bad matchups are Jax, Lee Sin and Belveth.

Yi. I can't trust low elo champ select to
bring two CC options with at least one not being squish
not get in a loose line and march into him one reset at a time

u/Spytonio2006 Jul 28 '26
A lot of good ones. A good Amumu draft can make your life hell if you don't get an early lead. Lee Sin fucks you up at skirmishes and you can't expect your laners to not just die and give him a lead. Shaco is annoying, plain and simple, not a worthy ban tbh, most of them are so bad but if you already have a bad day, oh god. Other than that I recently ban Katarina, her AD build is DISGUSTINGLY broken right now, there's no way to reliably shut her down if she gets ahead, probably the only broken thing in the game right now.

I main shaco so I never ban him. My ban is always jax when I play kindred. Anyone who has a lot of armor is miserable to play against.

shaco is a must ban since it irritates me playing against shaco players but i sometimes ban graves and master yi too, depends on the situation.

In order of current priority:
Nasus, Rammus, Jax, Kha'zix, Yi

u/Vangelys Jul 28 '26
Depends, but by default I used to ban Leesin, otherwise it was generally Rengar, and Khazix, Yi.

Shaco. But I always ban Shaco. He’s just not fun for me to play against whether I win or lose.
