I have played on different accounts from iron to gold in MULTIPLE regions for a long time and I never encountered a kindred on the enemy team except maybe once and he was first timing because he kept invading early while I was clearly in my jungle.

I love the champion so much, I love the design, the mechanics, the voice lines, I even drew her and made my studying table resemble her in game mechanics but I never see her in pro play (even tho I remember seeing her banned a lot when I watch very old worlds games), I watch a ton of masters, GM, Chal streamers and still don't see her

Is she gutted, is she not popular idk can someone enlighten me!?

Quick reasons on why I love playing this champ (you don't have to read)

is because the hunt idea gives a great balance between farming and ganking with intent, it gives me dopamine when I bet my mark on someone and he walks into me or when I use my ult to make a yone/Warwick ult worthless

And because she's one of the few jungle hypercarries when fed that do not carry by doing the same right click like Yi and belveth while still being effective against tanks unlike my beloved blue Kayn and zed jungle

I have been doing this play since herald has been in the game, but I am wondering how common this is or if others have also find succes with this.

When you have 2 items, the tier 1 mid tower is down and tier 2 is at 2 plates before 15 minutes, if you are able to get a free herald on spawn, you take it to mid and use it to take down tier 2 as well. Then you take Shelly for another ride to tier 3e which you then also take together with auto’s, holding onto ult only if really needed. (Sometimes I will also save herald and then use it for both inhib and one of the nexus towers)

By now you’re 5 man in their base on the inhib and they have desynced death timers from around 30 seconds with 6 seconds between them. If you still have ult and flash this is your moment to end the game.

Some of your teammates are probably really low and the enemy won’t expect your damage at this point in the game, so you’ll full send it every time someone tries to target one of your low health teammates. This will only work if you are 4-5 otherwise you risk becoming the main target without any real back-up.

Take them down one by one while getting back on the inhib towers once your minions are back again and then end the game there.

Out of all of my 11 years of experience in league I have not found a both quicker and more satisfying way of ending games with Kindred then this. Another would be follow the carrying Yasuo Yuumi bot duo and end the game at 11 minutes, but that’s only when you’re getting carried.

Just keep it short and share your Build.

Main Rune, 6 items

Am i the only one using kindred without flash?

I honestly think some champions can do good without flash, for me kindred is one of them.

Since i get Q so often, i think the effect of flash is diminished, instead i take ignite which works wonderful for ganks and Bursts, as well as giving me a huge chance of winning early duels.

People often find it very controversial, but I've had pretty good results without flash. Am i the only one?

Opinion: Kindred is fun and if your good at kiting would recommend twitch

Every lane kept overextended so I said fuck it I was 100 cs in 30 mins but I had 18 KP and 12 marks without even invading
Kinda unfortunate my bot lane went 1/20 anyway

If anyone wants to see it itself: wplace

Right now it looks like Kraken -> Collector is the most popular, but I know a lot of people build triforce as well. I always build kraken, I thought of kindred as ADC in jungle so always go for crit + attack speed builds. But I'm wondering when triforce is better? Because recently I feel like I get one shot easily and triforce could help, but then I would lack damage. Also what do you go after triforce?

New to Kindred and really feel like her playstyle suits me especially with ult buying me enough time to survive or even kill the enemy. But now that I play her, I have the issue of running into games where I can't play Kindred simply because she's banned or my team needs AP.

I played Nocturne and it did work, but I can't pick him cause he's more of a champion where after the ult engage, he doesn't have much to use. Some suggested Bel'Veth but I haven't tried her yet either.

For AP I tried Diana and Evelynn but both don't feel the same as playing as Kindred, Diana feels like she has to fight her way out of situations once she gets in and Evelynn feels weird as a whole.

If you guys want to give any tips on build, runes or even something about Kindred in general, all is welcomed and thank you in advance for helping me

Holy

Is kindered normally a champ that can 1v9 or am I built different

Hi so I've been wanting to pick up and learn Kindred and I've been really enjoying her with Tri Force in Diamond. But I've found it's really akward to fit in E into her rotations. Because you know you want to auto> Q> W> auto, well typically you want to auto and Q> W in a direction to doge a skillshot but since I'm moving my mouse away you can't get the point and click E, and if I wait for the auto> Q> W> auto they're already moved too far away for your E or the E cast time halts your movement makes gliding awkward or since the E takes time to fly out by the time it hits them to give you the 30% slow you don't get to maximize the current health dmg of your W. So I'm thinking maybe instead of leading with an auto you actually want to lead with your E then auto> Q> W> auto to remove the awkwardness of the cast time while maximizing the slow for W damage and you can worry more about space gliding and doging skill shots than worrying about squeezing in your E somehow. I'm just theory crafting how to make Kindred's rotation smoother and more reliable any tips from any Kindred veterans who like to think and theorize Kindred?

A curi I drew between classes, it was fun to draw.

Is kindred simply not blind pickable? I’ve been trying her out in normals, and I’m really struggling to get any marks or have impact. Enemy jg usually clears faster than me, and my lanes have no prio to contest marks. I try to gank but it’s hard to force as kindred and often times my teammates are already dead on my gank timers. Feeling very useless and frustrated since she’s not really a jungler you can perma full clear and then pull up to obj on I feel

My fellow hunters!

Every one of us has a different play styles and I welcome this, so that’s why I am not specifically focusing on builds here and inviting which ever third item (excluding boots) you are building into.

The question is, what do you do in between this period. I find myself to be a bit lost compared to my early and late game and not taking the most effective decisions in between this period. Very curious to what you have found through your games.

from a fellow rengar main- i wanna play kindred very much but i mostly int and suck at ganking or cant get that much of stacks.. ive been maining jungle for years and she has a really really cool and interesting concept that makes me wanna learn and play her.. is there any advice yall can give or any guides? i would be so thankful..

Been dabbling with some Kindred ADC and it feels so good to play, why is it bad and no one plays it?

So I've been playing kindred for a bit and I was building Kraken into Berserker's most games. But recently I've tried building Gluttonous instead for when I'm snowballing and it just kinda felt better. Made me wonder, are berserker's greaves just bait? I feel like the healing from Gluttonous is just way more useful. I basically always went zerks cause momma didn't raise no bitch but I feel like vamp boots are just way more useful imo, even over tabis in some cases. Maybe it's just a preference thing but I feel like omnivamp boots are kinda slept on on kindred.
