Haven't played Kindred jungle but it feels like I can just go counter-jungle (him/her?) with just about any jungler.

I just meant that she's squishy, and you'd generally want a beefy dude in the jungle, right? I should have phrased that better.
Yeah, but they* are the assassin-esque jungler type. They clear camps for like... seconds if you hit level 9-11. Their main weakness is that the jungler may try to take the camps that have Mark of the Kindred, which will weaken Kindred. And that is my observation (I played as them, was satisfying for someone who doesn't play jungler often).

Sig made by me!
I personally feel like that if you're able to not get **** on early you're fine. It's like with Lee, either you do well early or you'll not be able to do anything later/reach your powerspike (Lee/Kindred). I do think though that she's very strong mid to late, depending on what you build as your jungle item. Also, OHQ actually played her as adc so I suppose it isn't terrible.
Thanks to The_Nameless_Bard for the sig!

Actually Mark of the Kindred is a very good baiting tool as you can setup easy kills with that. Just have vision around that camp (or crab) probably ask for some help from one of your teammates and get an easy kill or make them aware that is yours! At first I hated the thing that enemies can also see which camp is marked but I kinda like it now.
And also don't forget the fact that he/she/it can easily solo dragons and not even losing too much HP. I think his viability in the jungle will depend on the Season 6 changes.
Kindred ult if used properly can make up for the fact that you only have one tanky frontliner. Mid laners that can dive in and then zhonyas can effectively be used as frontliners too, and its not out of the question to have a tanky support such as leo/braum either. The fact that kindred isnt tanky is not a big deal in the slightest if you don't pick awfully around her. Hell, theres many situations where the top laner is either squishy, (kennen/rumble) or rushes damage items and isn't really tanky at all (fiora/riven) and it isn't really ever a problem.
