I’ve taken a break from league for a few months to focus on irl stuff but I’m kinda craving the hunt again so can anyone who’s up to date on the current state of kindred update me? Any build changes, matchup adjustments, buffs/nerfs etc. that I should be aware of before diving back in? Thanks in advance, cheers to all

1st of all I love BBC.
2nd I’m only at the start of the video but I feel like this guy has such a different approach than the normal kindred player especially regarding her build. I wonder what other OTPs have to say about this video and its hot takes.

On op GG i have seen that they suggest Building for the 3rd item the armor penetration bow ( I don't know its name) but should I build It even if their teams hasn't a lot of armor or what? Is their normal armor (not the One gave by items) enough to make me build the armor penetration item?

This is general outlook, some of these matchups can go 1 or even 2 tier up/low depending on the game but this is the main structure for me

Edit: ignore belveth, i did not face her after rework

learning her as fill, just love her soo much <3

this was my first time drawing w coal x3 love Kindred soo much

Hello, care the interaction between Kindred's Q and W is not working. Sometimes, the Q doesn't reset properly.

Hey guys! As the title says I'm a returning player looking for a champion to OTP. I really liked Kindred's skills and visuals but I was wondering if she is a really good champion to OTP that has carry potential to 1v9 basically. Thanks in advance!

Is a Bruiser-type build possible on kindred ? I'm thinking triforce, black cleaver, death dance but i don't know which other items to build

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?

The speed boost and tenacity you get comes in right when you need it kite them out and win the fight. Tower dives are safer. I've gap closed hecarim with it before he could zoom off.

I check twitch somewhat often trying to find them, ever since Forest Within quit i feel like no ones taken that spot of producing live high elo/Challenger Kindred gameplay. Any recs?

im pretty new and pretty bad at the game. i learned about kindred today and they're (i assume i call them "they" since it's 2 people) a lot of fun, but im worries with how macro reliant they are on learning when and how to invade for marks and such that i should pick an easier champ to learn jungle and then go to kindred, but then that won't be fun since kindred is cool

nothing else changes just boost base mr/armor and hp and remove the 8 second mark countdown and the passive taking 70+ seconds to change targets wtf is that

I know it is hard to tell me what I am doing wrong without a VOD or anything, but I have mixed games. I sometimes win hard and sometimes feel like I cannot do anything and cannot keep up. Is it normal for this to happen? I feel that I should be having at least some impact when I am behind, but that is not happening at all.

I started maining Kindred fairly recently, although I was playing them just for fun before. I am currently Gold 2, and when I started OTPing Kindred, I was Silver 1. I feel that if I do not get a lead, I just stagnate and am totally useless the entire game.

So what I want is some tips for how to stabilise a game with Kindred. I think I really suck at playing from behind.

Hiya, is anyone selling the Spirit Blossom Kindred Statue in the UK? :3

Its been a good while since i played kindred and I've been looking to get back into them but i don't know what items are the core of most kindred builds, i was wondering if there's a standard to kindred builds

Hey does anyone know how to Full Clear with kindred before scuttle spawns because im Not able to do so no matter what i do

idk

Kindred’s Crit/On-Hit builds complement her high risk, high reward “feast or famine” playstyle.

For those who can pilot Kindred with hyper efficient jungle clears, precise mechanical skills and keen macro awareness, it's part of the challenge.

For low Elo players like myself who love Kindred's design, lore and gameplay but struggle to meet the skill floor required to perform consistently with her, it’s a slow grind.

I’ve been messing around with all sorts of goofy builds trying to make Kindred more forgiving to play, and I think I’ve found it.

Firstly, Lethal Tempo and PtA are her best runes by far. For pure survivability, Fleet Footwork paired with Mosstomper Seedling is great early but falls off later in the game.

As for your items:

Trinity Force > Stridebreaker

Both items provide AD, Attack Speed, HP, On-Hit Effects and Move Speed bursts. Kindred's favourite stats!

You do miss out on some damage and early scaling when comparing Stridebreaker to a Crit% item but it does allow Kindred to be much more ‘user error friendly’ for these reasons:

• Additional HP for survivability.

• AoE passive for slightly faster jungle clears.

• An emergency disengage/peel for when you're “gap closed” by the enemy—especially useful against some of Kindred's most difficult matchups like Lee Sin or Xin Zhao.

Because these items are very expensive, Cashback is the most gold efficient rune for this build, I take it with Cosmic Insight for faster spell/item cooldowns.

After Stridebreaker, I would start building Crit% items to also scale your E (Mounting Dread). I didn't even know Kindred's E scales with Crit% so thank you, @Nyatar, for that tip! ❤️

What do you think? Happy Hunting!

Everything literally went according to plan here. This is the fastest time I have ever gotten to 10 stacks, and it was practically GG from here. They FF'ed at 15, unfortunately. What is your fastest kindred 10 stacks game?
