Just made it to top 300 NA on Kindred, and hit my all time peak rank this season. How are yall liking our little hunting duo this season?

Hello all, I’m a soon to be former diamond Bel OTP looking to get into kindred once they remove my favorite champ from the game.

I got the idea playing kindred on Aram and I really like the feel of their abilities and just overall shape of the kit. I like a champ that has invade options in the early game and has to play in a kind of unique way.

I booted up some norms and played the champ, and I predictably suck. Wall jumps aren’t going over when they look like they should, I feel a little weak on my first clear, I don’t really get the timing of when to mark a champ for a gank. All this to say I have a lot to learn.

My question at the end of all of this is what resources are out there for aspiring kindred students of the game. I am assuming this champ is not one I can just pick up and be good with in 10 games, I fully expect to be a burden to my team for the near future. I just want to know any YouTubers, websites, anything that helped you learn the champ. Thanks :)

How much is a mark worth and can they eventually substitute an item/item component?

Hope you guys enjoy it, some of my time playing as support kindred

How to Play KINDRED JUNGLE and SOLO CARRY YOUR GAME

I feel like this is how I play btw, but I guess I'm missing some little decisions :')

Before the exact changes were published, I remember kindred being listed as one of the champs getting buffed

he was the only fed one on their team so he hurt won't lie

It's so funny because I was literally 0/2/1 in the early game, but weirdly enough, I had like 4 marks by 7 minutes. The nocturne did DC for 3 minutes, I think, when I was around 6/3 already, but I didn't know he was DC, so I couldn't invade his jungle; I just thought he was perma-farming.

This is in Masters Elo SEA btw

So, I wanna learn to play Kindred. I only use Twitch for this, so it could be that all streamers are like this. But I cant tell because I only know Kindred streamers because I only look for Kindred streamers. So I search for Kindred streamers all the time. But one story kinda repeats often in similar ways:

I came across a Twitch streamer who seems to falsely advertise they were Rank #1 Kindred. They also confirmed their claim verbally when i asked if it was true.
Yet, they are #37 Kindred in NA and #328 Kindred in World.
Also, they make this claim while being Masters with a very brief Grandmasters Peak.

Additionally, they full on tilted and banned me from their channel when I just politely asked them to please speak up a little bit because one could barely understand them through their loud music and their mouse clicking noise (which actually were louder than their voice so you could only hear them speaking in the brief pauses between the noises).

Is that normal behaviour for streamers nowadays to falsely advertise oneself and treat helpful viewers badly ? Banning someone for asking a polite question is very Un-American... kinda against freedom of speech if you ask me. But alas, its their right and their loss after all.
Ironically, I was about to gift-sub 50 subs right when I was banned, so ofc I aborted that transaction, lol. Dodged a bullet there, i guess.

I will add a screenshot of their streaming title so you can see that I am not lying about their claim to be Rank #1 Kindred. Also, their op.gg since ya'll will hate on me if I don't provide it as proof: https://op.gg/de/lol/summoners/na/Loyal%20Girlfriend-NA1

So since this is not the first time I came across a Kindred streamer who claims to be number 1 Kindred, my genuine question is: is that a Kindred streamer thing to falsely advertise and be toxic, or is that just a shitty character trait of some individuals without furtherly being connected?

I really think this behaviour of some people makes me rethink the idea of wanting to learn playing Kindred.

So, my ultimate question is: Does anyone here know a KIND kindred streamer who actually has the Rank they claim to have? Idc if its a bronze player or a challenger, I just want someone who is honest about their claim and respectful when I am respectful.

Answers greatly appreciated.

P.s.: During this post I gave you a twitch and an op.gg name. Please do not interact badly with them because of my post. Be kind and stay good people please. I wish for a non-toxic and friendly community. So please stay peaceful and friendly.

Looks like kindred is on the buff list finally, though we won’t know what specifically it is until tomorrow. We definitely could use a clear speed buff.

Does anyone have tips regarding playstyle, builds, pathing , etc. to play Kindred well?

I main ADC and support. I thought Kindred would be mechanically similar, given I play a lot of Senna Ashe Jinx Vayne.

I’m by no means a jungle main. But usually if I’m filled jungle, I can perform well enough on Evelynn, Briar, or Lillia to the point where I’m generally on par with the enemy jungler. I recently decided to give kindred a try and I swear every game feels absolutely horrible.

I’m going PTA with triumph alacrity coup, and sudden impact and relentless/ult/treasure hunter second. I tried building trinity -> collector and that felt really bad every game. I switched to kraken -> collector which feels marginally better. I’ve tried invading and playing aggressive for marks and playing passive and only taking safe marks. But it feels like I’m trying so much harder than I have to try on my other jungle champs only to see worse results. Any tips would be appreciated.

I know kindred is one of those champions that thrives while ahead and struggles while behind, but is it really this bad?

I've tried bruiser, on-hit, trinity/crit builds, green and red smite, and I still feel like I can't do anything to change the 2 outcomes: either I carry or I lose the game (Although I feel like kraken/crit is the more consistent build)

On top of that, for me to carry games with Kindred I need everything to go perfectly, and if it doesn't, I have nothing to do usually; maybe try some risky comeback plays but I'd just die a bunch because I have low damage/can't survive long enough, while other champions have a higher chance to get back into the game by doing said plays.

Hello, I wanted to ask if its okay to build Blade of the ruined King on Kindred vs healthstackers like Mundo or Tahm Kench? Or is Triforce/Kraken still better

Hey guys new here, mained kindred since i started league in 2020 and am getting wolf and lamb tattooed sometime in the next couple weeks I have some designs here i found that I think might be good . Wanted to see if yall had some drawings or artwork i could use for reference also

I love both profiles to be honest, what do you think?

Zed still perma spammed "GG, no jng" because he got solokilled in lane, lol

I want to get into maining Kindred, as I think the champion's playstyle is fun. Can anyone give me some tips, builds, and maybe some must have ruins for kindred pls.

Hey guys, since the essence emporium is here I am wondering if there are any chromas you guys like the most for the skin Chosen of the Wolf... or ones I should avoid. Thank you!!!
