Introduction

Kindred was introduced as a Marksman Jungler, but with the recent itemization changes for many champions, i.e Sunfire/Gauntlet on every top-laner, I decided that Kindred, with their insane kiting ability, immense trade potential, and infinite sustain, would make a great tank frontline.

Masteries

With Kindred's change to her W, taking Fervor is a lot more risky than is recommended. If you feel confident with the champion and the matchup, Fervor can grant easy early lane dominance, which will allow you to snowball your lane. However, in a less-favorable lane matchup, Grasp is preferable, as it is her only early-game sustain ability. Without that sustain, Kindred is easily out-traded by champions like Yasuo and Taliyah.

Matchups

Most top-laners counter Kindred, with her being a squishy marksman with no reliable escape and no hard cc.

Pros / Cons

Pros:
    Good kiting
    Good sustain
    Great frontline
    Lots of utility with Gauntlet
    Can solo many carries late game

Cons:
    VERY weak early game
    Punished by any champion with a gap-closer or long-ranged harass
    W changes make sustain difficult
    Weak wave-clear until Gauntlet
    You'll probably get flamed by your team
    Most popular Top-Laners right now counter her
