The first death between you two decides how this game will go. If you run into him at lvl 3, dodge his Q, and you'll beat him early giving you a huge lead. Watch out for his ward hops. He'll tend to get to your marks faster than you do so expect him to be aggressive because he know's he has a chance of snowballing. a 1v1 with Lee Sin is a coin flip. You'll win 2v2's so counter gank him early on to keep up. You outscale him. Yes. He can ward hop right onto you, Q, R, right out of your circle and connect his Q. This will always kill you. Dodge Q. A good Lee will wait for you to use your gap closer.
Shyvana
Super hard to deal with. You're going to want to get a black cleaver to kite better. She'll run you down, you can try to kite her but she will catch up. She becomes a monster because her goal is the same as yours... She's going to counter jungle.Kindred's has a hard time with Shyvana's because they get caught out and have to 1v1 her. She only has one escape and she's going to use it to engage. Stay away from your carries. This then forces the other team to make a choice: "Should I jump on kindred, or should I jump on their ADC?" They will almost always go for your carries.
Master Yi
LOL. He's going to press R, run at you and you'll die. Even if you ult yourself. Let's say you ult, proc your E, 2 auto, your ult ends and you try to proc it... He got enough auto's to use another alpha strike which goes away when he does this. So even the burst won't really work on him. You can try to kite him but his Q range is larger than your auto range early. My advice is to build tanky. Tabi, Cleaver, Bork... This matchup sucks.
Pantheon
Okay so. Don't fight this dude early. Wait for team fight's. He can only target one person at a time so fight him when he's focused on front line. If he ult's your team you're forced to ult. Pantheon is so bad late game it's a joke. You got this.
Rammus
LOL. He's going to buy a thorn mail... You can try to kite him. But if he flashe's on you... You're going to die. Try to get a lead because you're going to need it.
Xin Zhao
LOL. I don't need to explain this too much. Once he get's to you, then try to Q away. He can ult you out of your ult and kill you so fast. He's one of the few champions that beats you at lvl 3 with double's. Get Tabi's and Mortal Reminder.
Nidalee
She jungles just as fast as you but she plays like an assassin waiting for her spear to land. If you get hit by her spear in a team fight, I want you to notice how fast she'll transform into tiger and try to pounce on you lol. Anyways. That's a mistake if she actually jumps onto you. She can kill you if you don't react in time to this. Just Ult, E combo, and she's going to die if you positioned yourself right. They all play the same. You have so much room to outplay this. But so does she.
Elise
Elise has a terrible early game. Just go counter jungle her early and snowball on her. If you wait to long she will scale and you'll miss your chance. Dodge her cocoon. This is a skill matchup. But you have the advantage starting out.
How's it going young cubs, my name is Abel and I am a Kindred main. In this guide I'll be going over what you should be doing in team fights and where to be and how to improve overall with Kindred. These dudes are about to feel Exhaust from running so much over and over after you've read this guide. I want you to understand something first. Kindred is really hard to start off with. They have a huge skill cap and requires so much micro to play. And since they're in the jungle you have to macro everything as well.
