For now I must say kindo's guide is slightly better. I have had some good results using shieldbow, as it gives a lot of good sustain and makes kindred overall harder to kill.

An other thing I don't fully understand is that Anivia is on tiny threat, whilst champions like zed and yasuo is on major. Especially yasuo isn't too much of a threat in lane because he doesn't have enough burst and mobility to burst you down. Zed isnæt too much of a threat either es he relies a lot on his q, which is something that is relatively dodgeable with q. Kindreds ult also counters zed hard.
I have had some big trouble with anivia as it is hard to dodge her q because of its speed and hitbox. She also has a good burst for the end of kindreds ultimate.
I haven't had too much trouble with malzahar either, as long as qss is built pretty quickly. Kindred outdamages malzahar at basically every point of the game, especially with qss.

It might just be that we have very different playstyles and that different things works differently for us, though.

Thank you for the comment!
I appreciate the feedback and I'll check on the matchup section again, as it was based off my own experiences against those champ, based on when I made the guide like, 4 years ago oops.
Personnaly I have no difficulties against Anivia's Q, and as a Malzahar main, I've seen and destroy many Kindred Mid. However, knowing the two champs are my mains, it's obvious I know the weakness of both and exploits it easily.
As for Yasuo, I admit kindred is now a good pick against him. I'm not sure about Zed, but I'll be sure to check the matchup section soon to be sure everything fits today's LoL, and not season 6 LoL.
Azir is a good example of a champ I used to counter with Kindred and now I can't do anything in lane against him.
It might take a while to do since there are matchup that aren't happening often.
Thank you again for the comment, I really appraciate it and it helps a lot upgrading the guide!

Rermo99 (7) | November 29, 2020 4:56pm
Thanks for the comment! Indeed it is a real good item, one of my favourite actually. I'll definitly do some modification after this week's testing!

I just wanna suggest that sneaky discovered that if u take cull + Cut Down u get the bonus dmg so u would practically amp up ur dmg by 10% easily but this scenario fits ONLY if u want to play very aggro and poke ur laner so maybe update the build and put this if u want to.

Rermo99 (7) | August 1, 2020 9:35am
Poggers, imma try this I always wanted to find a good use to Cull! Thanks for the comment I'll test it later today and see if I change it in the guide!

I'm a pretty bad Kindred player but is it a good idea to roam a lot and take waterwalking if you pushed pretty well?
1
Rermo99 (7) | July 27, 2020 6:03am
Maybe if you roam a lot, and when I say that, I mean a LOT. But I still think you'll miss some important runes in domination or precision if you go for sorcery. Thanks for the comment!

I need to ask, have you tried opting for conq rather than press the attack? While press is really good especially at the early game, I feel like conq can provide more during mid to late game especially in team Fights as it provides kindred with much more sustain, and by using her q and w building it should be easier in comparison with any other ranged champion!

Rermo99 (7) | June 16, 2020 5:11am
Hi @ Dude Fortunate, I really appreciate your comment! Conqueror is arguably a good rune for Kindred mid. It gives a lot more sustain to their gameplay, but early game Kindred mid is crucial. You have to get your marks, and it will be a lot easier to get a first blood lv 2 with PTA or even Hail of Blades. While Conqueror is getting better for team fight, I admit that I play them more like an assassin than a sustain damage ADC. This goes with how you play them. If your style of play fits better with conqueror, then it is indeed a better option and, spoiler alert, you pointed what I'm secretly working on for the guide xD. I'm slowly but surely updating my Runes section to show more runes path possible. Remember that Kindred mid are versatile. You could even go with glacial augments and it will be gokd in some matchup.
Hope that was useful, and again thanks for the comment!

Quoted:
The Zeal is the first option for your first back item if you choose to go for the Stormrazor.

Stormrazor does not build out of Zeal! Still a good guide

Wow, cool and interesting guide! Tried mid-lane kindred one game, and it wasn't so bad! It's kind of like playing lucian mid. However I personally think kindred is inferior to lucian mid as he has more lane control, and kindred doesn't do that well without her marks.
1
Rermo99 (7) | November 7, 2019 7:49am
Haha well lucian mid is a real pick, it's like compairing Teemo supp to Braum hahaha
For me I do very good with 5 or 6 marks as kindred mid because I'm used to it, I've played Kindred only in mid lane since my second game with them. The gameplay sure need's adaptation and time to know what are the difference between mid and jungle, and to notice that jungle is a lot better lol, but playing them mid lane is pure fun! To balance that, I take Yomuu's as first item because the lethality deal well with the damage you loose from your passive with low rate stacking. I'd say with a early 3 stacks and the serrated dirk for lethality, you can kill a mid laner with Q >W >E >AA >AA >AA within 3s.
Thanks for the comment! I really appreciate the feedback!

So I sort of fell in love with Kindred, and started playing her in the jg. But I am u sucker for anything off-meta, so I decided to check this out. So my team needs an ad midlaner, and I remember this and lock Kindred. Guess what.
Pentakill, that's what.
Now I play Kindred mid much more. I still take her jg (and bot), but damn mid is fun. Also, after a game of Tristana adc, i accidentally left heal as my summoner spell. Have to say it synergies really well with ult especially if u have a kill lane bot with 2 ignites. Helps win teamfights.
Also, it's really fun watching the enemy at 1hp going out of my ult. Much less when my teammate leaves.
Anyways, nice guide! Thx!

Rermo99 (7) | May 16, 2019 10:57am
Haha I'm happy to hear that! Thanks for the comment, I really apreciate it. Heal is indeed a good choice even mid for the synergy with the ult, but in my case, I usually play aggresive and go for the kills with ignite. Also, iif well timed, igniting the enemy just before your ult end will reduce the healing they'll get from your ult, and might help you a lot in 1v1.
Anyway, I'm glad you have a lot of fun with my guide and thanks again for the comment!

To be honest, I did miss an early kill on the enemy because of this. Great tip tho! You might want to put it in your guide.

Hello Rermo99,
I happened to see your guide in the refreshed section and since we kinda seem to share a love for Kindred (although I‘m a main support player), I thought I had to check it out.
So let‘s get down to my feedback:
I really love that you‘re able to transfer your love for Kindred via this guide. That‘s something pretty rare in my opinion and definitely makes your guide very special. :) I think you already focus on quite a bunch of crucial information, like when you explain how and when to get the Marks.
However, I happened to notice two things that you might want to imrove.
Firstly, there‘s this typo you did with strengths. You misspelled it in your banner and in the heading as „strenght“ :/ (sorry to point that one out >___<**)
Secondly, your synergy section is looking somewhat empty since there‘s only a handful of champs you‘ve added.
But anyway! I really love this guide and that it also looks somewhat artesian with the changing banners in the end. It‘s awesome already, really. :)

Cheers, Wicked Cherry.

Hi Wicked Cherry, thanks for the comment! I really really appreciate it, and I'm happy you point those two thing, I'll check to correct the typo xD For what is about the synergy section, it's quite hard for me to update it sadly. I don't have much time to play league since I'm playing like 10 games at the same time and you know, school takes a lot of time xD Anyway, I don't always play kindred mid and I rarely play League of Legends because of, well, LIFE, and I also happens to don't even know who really goes well with kindred mid xD
As soon as I'll have more time thos summer I'll try to come back on updating frenquently but I can't promise anything for now.
Thank you again for the comment!
