Returning Player - Review my Build
Hey fellow Kindred mains,
I last played League roughly 2 years ago, I used to play mostly Draft and Quickplay (now Swiftplay), often experimenting with whacky builds.
Highest rank reached was Silver 2 with Kindred JNG and Senna SUPP.
I've done some research on what's new and am trying a build that maximises Kindred's sustain and ultimate potential.
For those of you who have hundreds, if not thousands, of hours on Kindred.
Anything that you immediately notice wouldn't work? Or could be done a little better? What do you think and why?
I'd like to understand where Kindred currently stands and how she interacts with different items.
Good hunting!
UPDATE 03/07/2025
Thanks for all your input, looks like I was way off "mark" here!
For those who asked, I enjoy trying off-meta builds and unconventional items on my favourite champs.
I've adjusted my build now based on everyone's feedback, delaying the "Bruiser" items to late game.
And no more Experimental Hexplate.

- PTA and Domination Secondary Tree
- Trinity Force > Kraken Slayer
- Black Cleaver > Sterak's Gage > Overlord's Bloodmail
Games rarely last long enough (for me at least) to reach Sterak's Gage but, at full build, I seem to have much healthier K/D/A numbers with this build than full Crit/AtkSpD.
Really enjoying Kindred again! She seems weaker when I last played her 2 years ago, or maybe I've gone rusty, but still my favourite champ alongside Senna.
