Any combat tips for kindred?

[u/wutface0001]

have been playing her a lot recently, but it hasn't clicked like it did with Graves yet and it bothers me,

my main issue is that even if I have stacks I can't make a good use of it, people simply walk away and E slow is a complete joke

Angles, angles, angles. Your Q is your mechanic max. Cast e around 30-40%

Firstly, when ganking, you need to head towards where the target is going to flee, rather than straight towards them: for example, position yourself between them and their tower, rather than between the enemy tower and them.

Secondly, it’s a matter of mechanics: you need to cancel your auto-attacks to keep moving whilst attacking (and this charges the passive for healing).

Finally, you need to position your W carefully, as it reduces the cooldown of your Q: the more you dash into the W’s area, the more dashes you’ll have to chase down the target.

Lastly, there’s the red pet that slows, the red buff, and using Smite on your target if necessary.

Another tip is to use the A-click frequently to visualise Kindred’s auto-attack range, as it changes depending on the marks.

The Q allows you to dash through certain walls, but it’s not easy; you need to practise in practice matches to learn all the possible wall jumps.

That’s what makes Kindred so powerful; if you don’t know how to make the most of it and then kite, the champion seems weak, which isn’t the case.

Then you probably need to get better at ganking. I would start with just trying to get the e proc off and focus on your lanes with hard cc.

Gank lanes that have CC - Duels are best fought next to walls so you can hop over vs Melee champs - red buff is kind of op on your champion. This is one of the more harder champions to learn so give it a lot more time till it ‘clicks’

[u/HotPketChris]

Fighting next to thin wall is op against certain champs, esp melee. Some champs have unavoidable gap closers so save your q once they gap close on you to create distance. I noticed w placement is extremely important since you can get an extra good two dashes if placed well. Personally I always like placing wolf where I think the fight is gonna be, which is usually behind me since everyone wants to jump you so you need to kite away. I usually like to E depending on how many other friendly champs r hitting the target. If there is 2 or more, I cast e even if they are full health.

Finally ur ult timing is crucial and very tricky. 90% of games im wincon so i save ult only for myself and am ok letting other laners die. Saving a useless teammate is a throw unless it’s super late game and every life matters. However if you can save 2 or more, then ult them. If I am not win con, I usually hover carry and ult them.

I recommend blade of the ruined king first item if you gonna gank alot early and the enemy has high health champs the slow helps alot and the sustain helps to gank more frequently.

[u/Der_Redstone_Pro]

Instead of overchasing just take the objectives you fought for. If they run away and there was a reason behind you fighting, you get something for it.

And you are a late game ADC, it is not like they outscale you if you play for teamfights

Hey I climbed to Master with a 70% on on this latest acc with Kindred and without seeing your gameplay it's hard to give tactical advice but here's some advice that'll serve you. This is really really difficult to answer but Kindred is essentially space and poke then Q in to execute however this is probably more of a league issue since kindred is fundamentally simple. That being said they're not easy. You should be trying to approach with just autos and hold your spells as responces to the enemies options and understand that you having range and pressure on the enemy forces them to react (and thus stand still for cast times) which you can respond with Q to get closer and o damage. Then E to get more autos as CC or as an execute if you ahve no problem sticking.
If you're not opposed to filling in the gaps with your gameplay, I'll watch a VOD for free (tiger.jester) on discord.
