I love this guide even now after a year of not being updated! I followed this guide without utilising Mythics first off and it worked great! Though I do hope it'll eventually be updated, it still works brilliantly! Love it 100%!

What are some good supports to play with kindred ADC?

(8) |

That's an interesting question; Kindred has supports that they like to have for general gameplay and others that make good comboes. For instance, both 's and 's ults pair amazingly with Kindred's, but they require precise timing and are useless if done wrong, not to mention neither of their regular kits work amazingly with Kindred's.

On the other hand you've got champions like who plays a really strong lane with Kindred and can work with or without you in lane as an aggressive playmaker that needs to be focused down, but Pykes ult actually clashes with Kindred's unless the Pyke can get that timing exactly right and the Kindred player fully trusts the Pyke.

It honestly depends the most on your own personal playstyle and if you know your support. Most things can work, but I recommend checking the matchup section near the top of the guide for details.

As Another Kindred Main I can say following: I'm really into using conquerer instead of Press the attack. But Whyy... Ever wondered what happens if you get your E with a full stacked Conquerer through ? Ohh a 150% crit with a part of true damage DOES hurt.. even without the E's passive. +You get unexpected Sustain in a 1v1. So my Rune Setup is:
Conquerer for the true damage and heal
Triumph
That attack speed thingy
And Last fight works great with the ult cause it gives you more damage that coup de grace
in the second I use sorcery with rising storm and absolute focus:
Means you always get AD for free...
I personally feel better with that setup and I played adc kindred ALOT (Honestly I think it's easier cause people can't really counterpick That one they mostly will think that kindred is in the jungle)

I have been alternating between the two and what I've found is that Conqueror is indeed stronger... in 1v1's. Press the Attack comes out much better in team fights and for sustained, spread damage, which is more in line with my own personal playstyle, hence my general recommended keystone. Press the Attack is also more friendly to newer players or players unfamiliar with the intimacies of Kindred's timing and kit. That being said, I do agree that Conqueror is definitely a valid pick and is better for sustain and burst.

The reason I don't like Last Stand, regardless of ult synergy, is that it actually only benefits you if your enemies are outside of the ult. At that point, the extra damage will hardly be beneficial when compared to other runes in the same line.

Absolute Focus with Rising Storm is definitely an alternate rune page. My issue with it is that, in Kindred's nature they are a scaling champion, meaning that you should be winning late game regardless of runes. ADC Kindred is weakest in the early stages of the game, and Eyeball Collection allows you to more easily snowball into your marks, granting the late game scaling, while Sudden Impact gives you the early damage you lack during the laning phase.

That being said, your build is certainly viable, it really just comes down to personal preference! Thanks for adding input for other readers who want to experiment as well!
