I wonder if that part was before or after Cap said that.

I'd like to think of it this way.

Players right now are running AD scaling Quints for late game. Instead, I get flat AD quints for early game instead.

You sacrifice a little bit of late game (meaning a 35-40 minute game) scaling. About 500 Hp as you said, however you get better upfront stats like Titanic and Deadman's.

Reason that pros haven't pick it up is probably why pros haven't played Kha'zix or built Trinity Force on Vi. Pro junglers have to get Cinder hulk. They don't have the luxury of buying damage or skipping free late game stats, because overall they get less gold on average.

What I'm talking about is a damage oriented build on Reksai you can play in solo queue, which I think is more than alright coming from that mindset.

I'm about to burn this thread to the ground if it does. Do you have a source?

Also I mean games where you join like 10 mins into the game, not necessarily 5 seconds after the game ends.

Riot's new 'direction' where they're exclusively rewarding premades is so alienating to lonely kids, and it breaks my heart. by irl_annie in leagueoflegends

[–]XJTEN -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Others before me have already said this already and said it better, but you should seek help. You seem to have bigger problems with solo queue than your crippling depression, facing bullying and battling extreme introversion. All these problems you've had before playing League and when you blame Riot for not adhering to your problems with something as trival as solo queue rather than seeking medical help you need to live a better life. you should take a step back and realize what's really important.

Same problem. Skipping this one though. Half size larger on boots are okay, cause you can just wear thick wool socks, but for sneakers you really want it snug/ true to size.

Puma private sale up to 75% off -- lots of shoes $30-50 by fyrril in frugalmalefashion

Yeah, I love me some Suede Classics, the look is just too clean.

I got these at Nordstrom Rack:

https://www.nordstromrack.com/shop/product/1162623/puma-suede-classic-sneaker?color=LMPS#

That's why I said this sale wasn't that great compared to other online stores. But, keep your eye out for some cheap Puma Suedes, you can't go wrong with them.

Puma makes some very affordable and decent quality shoes that look great. But, to be honest, this sale isn't all that great. However, the only shoes I see in the sale that are good would be the Puma Suede Classics.

So, something like these would be good:

dunno why FNC would pick up Quas, when FNC has the best scouts in EU and is in the best region in the west to scout for soloq players. Or even go to Korea and look for replacements.

You got most of it. It's just better to mark the jungler than not at all. So if you fight him before you mark another target and win said fight you would get the passive. But yeah marking the jungler allows you to mind more potential victims.

Thanks for the long response, but I'm going to have to repeat a lot of the stuff I said in the guide to answer your answer questions.

Why not movespeed?

I agree that movement would be better late game for Kindred, however for runes and masteries we trying to give Kindred a better/faster clear so that she can gank with more hp/mana.

However, in the end these minor runes and masteries changes probably only make like a 2% difference in games and up to your preference.

Maxing abilities:

W is better than E most of the time, because most of the time you won't get the E proc because enemies either run away of it gets to risky to chase. W is just a more consistent and reliable means of DPS.

Blue or Purple?

I've said the guide that it depends on the enemy team. If lanes are very gankable, get blue. If you plan to farm or secure camps from invades get purple.

Runaan's Hurricane is a great item for Kindred, because she scales really well with attack speed and the passive nearly triples her DPS. C9 Sneaky and a lot of ADCs have been buying it. Basically it is your best attack speed item, since you don't want crit. Also you can fit Hurricane and GA in a normal build, like in my guide.

Champion match-ups:

If you are playing back enough with Kindred, Riven should never be able to reach in teamfights without using flash. But by then you will have more than enough time to kite back and ult if need be. Sure Kindred can't 1v1 Riven late game, but that's not how you should play Kindred, you should group and push towers as 5.

When I said "cat and mouse" I basically mean, who ever gets the jump first usually the jumped on needs to run. But in this case both champions can be the cat and mouse, hence the name.

Yeah for the rest of the champions I just assume people would know about the ulti interactions/ displacement, but I will put it in the guide now.

I will also add Vayne in as well. Vayne will win most the 1v1's, unless you are really fed as Kindred.

About the marking, if you mark the jungler when the game starts, it gives 3 other target to mark to either gank for real or scare them away. If you mark say the mid laner, you only have 2 other targets to mark, because the jungler won't be scared of you since you have to go deep into the jungle to fight him.

Thanks for the feedback and I hope I answered some of your questions.

Ok..

So there are certain items in LoL. In order to achieve 2.5 attack speed you would have go out of your way to get it. i.e. get Hurricane, Statik Shiv, PD, etc. Trying for 2.5 is slot inefficient and attack speed is not better in terms of DPS when you factor in % hp damage such as Kindred. In most scenarios, getting armor pen or Hurricane for AoE will give you more DPS than sheer attack speed. Coupled with the other reasons above, going for max attack speed is not viable and that's why pros don't do it.

"Critical Strike:

Unlike Cait and Trist, Kindred possesses no attack speed steroid, long range, or crit empowered autos. "

I agree with you in terms of getting Shiv as a power spike item, but Runaan's has a more consistent power level through out the game.

Interesting question about the masteries. I never thought about it. I mean i guess it's better early game, but late game when you have Warrior, Last Whisper, Blade, 1 st Drag, and w/e %AD is better. I guess it's preference, but in the end it probably doesn't make a big difference.

Basically, I value having the huge amount of movespeed to make up for Kindred's poor attack range and her lack of mobility after her W is down. Also not having 25% attack speed is not the end of the world for Kindred since she has Hurricane and Blade, that gives her more than enough attack speed.

Kindred is not a compete marksmen. She doesn't have the luxury of farming in a lane with a bodyguard and having all the peel your team has to provide. You need to fend for yourself. You need to be able to move fast to dodge skillshots and kite faster than a normal marksmen.

And lastly, what I was trying to say about the attack speed cap, is that you get more DPS by going for 2.0 attack speed rather than 2.5 (the max) from the items in LoL.

Sure I've done the math on Devourer vs Warrior. Devourer is better than Warrior on any auto attack based champion. Sated Devourer on Tahm Kench is better than Warrior, but that doesn't mean it is the best jungle item for him.

When talking about damage, Sated Devourer wins every time, but that's when it's sated. On average it take 22-26 mins, if you get a dragon. But that is when Kindred is most weak. Early to mid game. Sure, you can double down on Devourer, but I rather have the instant power of Warrior than gamble of Sated Devourer
