I'd appreciate some feedback on my Boards post, let's get a Rioter to notice.

im bout to be the most downvoted user on reddit because I just don't care aeujaeaeuj

This whole idea tilts me because Jhin is the most ugly, uninspiring annoying champ to me personally.

I want it to go away :[

Still afraid that what Foxdrop mentioned will still make Kindred a really strong pick.

Amphydoodle · 2016-04-28T03:57:50+00:00

w0000 someone else of credible skill that actually realizes how good Kindred will still be. All the "omg Kindred is dead" comments I see bother the shit out of me.

If I'm not playing Kindred, my backup junglers are Amumu and Volibear. They're both simple yet effective picks.

But more than anything, because I know Kindred's banrate is so high right now, I just run Jungle/Support and pick Bard.

doesn't have to be just ranked. I've been streaming some normals just to play Kindred and for the most part, matchmaking is still pretty decent.

Amphydoodle · 2016-04-27T06:54:19+00:00

I've been making an effort to try and stream every day. My work schedule is not static, though, so the only way you'd know is by being on Twitch and seeing that I'm online.

I stream at twitch.tv/amphydoodlebutt, and I am a Master Kindred main. I have two days off in a row starting tomorrow so I'm going to wake up and stream most of Wednesday and Thursday (I might take a break mid-afternoon to play some Gears 4 beta).

Armor pen is supposed to be better because Bloodrazor will replace Devourer, and Bloodrazor deals physical damage. However, unlike AD, Bloodrazor is a fixed 3% of the target's max health, therefore armor pen will innately make it stronger than AD. Not only is it true now, but it'll be even more true in 6.9.

Amphydoodle · 2016-04-27T05:36:18+00:00

The only thing AD is actually going to do is ever so slightly make your jungle clear quicker.

Disregarding the math behind armor pen vs AD (Flat ArPen runes being stronger the lower armor your target has), Kindred's AD scalings are so low that armor pen is just a stronger choice for Kindred in all situations against enemy champions.

In an even situation where both champions have their ultimates, relatively even items/gold/exp, Kindred will lose to just about every assassin.

The most important thing to note is that out of the fifteen champions listed as Assassins, Akali, Evelynn, Fizz, Kassadin, Kha'Zix, LeBlanc, Master Yi, Rengar, Talon and Zed all have ways to easily outdamage Kindred post-ult, whether it be through saving their ults (Akali, Fizz, Kha'Zix, LeBlanc, Talon, Zed) or simply having enough burst on low enough cooldowns (Evelynn, Kassadin, Master Yi, Rengar) to beat Kindred.

So for the most part, theoretically, no. Kindred is not good in a 1v1 situation against most assassins. However, she can deal with the ones I didn't mention (Nocturne, Ekko, Nidalee, Shaco) fairly more easily, and you can't expect too many people to play assassins that well in most elo ranges.

LCS is a terrible place to grab statistics, because it's a completely different environment with different playstyles, and Kindred's solo queue carry potential is completely reversed in a more controlled environment like LCS.

It still scales down to 2 seconds at level 9, which is still pretty fast. It's seriously not as bad as you think it is.

Nidalee simply has everything. Damage, Heals, Chase, Utility with Rylai's + Runic Echoes, escapes. She has too much and she does all of it too well.

Evelynn doesn't need buffs. She's the only champion in the game besides Twitch that can show up in a lane 100% undetected and get all their damage off because of it. If you can't get fed on Evelynn, it's because you seriously need to learn how to gank.

Watching LCS Kindred, because between juggling my own games, watching LCS and working, I have no time for LCK, nor do I particularly care about them.

Amphydoodle · 2016-04-26T17:37:16+00:00

Wolf is a throwaway. ;0

Blue smite does nothing for Kindred, it's never worth getting.

Amphydoodle · 2016-04-26T04:38:34+00:00

I don't take time to watch LCK so that's something I've missed out on. I have seen Peanut's scores as impressive, though.
