Kindred: Champion Spotlight | Gameplay - League of Legends 

They forgot Kindred. This champion should deserve more love. Best concept ever created

Whoever designed this champ deserves a raise. Really clever aesthetic and backstory.

kindred is hands down the most beautiful champion (my opinion)

of course Lee sin didnt watch the spotlight, he's BLIND

"lee sin didn't see the champion spotlight" I see what you did there rito, I see what you did there

4:00 listen to his suddenly excited voice, I bet someone told a neat pun right before he recorded that part.

I love lamb's voice and singing and I don't even play her. The singing is just beautiful

I want a reverse Kindred skin... like reverse Annie

I love everything about their character, their appearance, aesthetic, voice acting and abilities. Even the god damn idle animation is awesome, good job Rito.

how bout making a red riding hood kindred skin fits perfect for them lamb is red riding hood and wolf umm he is just a wolf

The one time Riot cared about Kindred was the month of their release. Wish they would look back at them now.

When they are talking about remembering to use kindred stacks (at 6:17), the enemy team has: -ezreal wukong top -mundo galio bot -soraka mid What is this, my ranked games?

0:01 Wait, rated T for Use of Alcohol and Tobacco? But Graves doesn't have a cigar...

"Kindred is the manifestation of death on Runeterra..." Then why the fuck does her ultimate prevent it?

Bring back heal on w

Im really sad that Kindred never had a cinematic like most champs..do you know so many amazing things you guys could've done with them in a cinematic?? UGH! you wasted a good opportunity 3: they are such a beautiful champ to not make one for them...DX

I think this is probably the most beautiful champion they have ever created.

Lamb can have a friend., but Graves can't have a cigar?

They should do a cinematic about him It would be awesome. The guy who made Kindred also made Aurelion and Bård. Champions that always existed, all powerful entities of creation, life, death and magic, energy, everything.

Stop nerfing Kindred Rito

I'd rather spend 6300 IP on a cigar for Graves

"Use of Alcohol and Tobacco" If that's true...then why can't Graves have a cigar

I love Kindred, but whenever I ask my team to help me with the stacks, they just say I will lose farm dude, just go and be carefull.

To this day, Kindred is still unique and different to play as. Her mark mechanic adds depth to her play.

I haven't even played her yet but well... I main her

the mindgame outplays with that passive are gonna be hilarious

Riot came from this masterpiece of a champ to seraphine

She really needs to be buffed

Oh boy! A Tryndamere Ult for the whole team. What could possibly go wrong? ᵏᶦᶫᶫ ᵐᵉ

Another squishy jungler? *Veigar intensifies*

The year is 2021. I am currently remembering when not only the champion design was actually good, but also the champion spotlights were actually fun to watch.

I love the character, I love the game play, but what I loved most with this spotlight, was the fact how indepth you explained Kindred. I would love to see more Spotlights like this one, where the character is explained in detail so we'll know what to expect. Perfect job!

wat TRI FORCE AND DEVOURER WHAT IS THIS SUGGESTED ITEM BUILD

every new champion is so fucking overloaded

This Champion is the reason I started playing League in the first place :D

Honestly, if this guy appeared in wild rift, I would definitely main him, he is so helpful and deadly.

3:28 "Get yo damage on" Jesus christ phreak what are we gonna do with you

So if you kill the personification of death does everyone not die while Kindred is on their death timer?

I just love Kindred way to much. - They are fun to play. - Their lore is far more intresting compared to many other champions. - Lamb and Wolf have beautiful voices that fit them well. What more could you ask, except for the heal on W. But still...

problably the most well made champion spotlight, really enjoyed watching it and learned a lot. Well done phreak!

Meanwhile Darius remains untouched...

that ult... Hi, we're basically the grim reapers of this imaginary world called runeterra.... so our most powerful ability is to keep people from dying.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Kindred is honestly such a beautiful design...

Whoever made this Champion is AMAZING, AN AMAZING CREATIVE PERSON!!!

We're just gonna put this out so you think you'll be getting Kindred tomorrow. When in reality we pushed Kindred to the next patch which you won't see for 2+ weeks.

I would so totally install back league and play kindred. That hero is just arousing, evokes this feeling of mysteriousness. Come on now, "have they forgotten us yet, little lamb?" "I'll still know us, though they try to forget... so we will remind them." Like as if i'm stepping into a dark thriller or mystery somethin, along with that eerie background music; now that's just disgustingly sexy! Forget the Champion release, make a short movie on this.

princess mononoke !!

Editing is great ! I like this spotlight a lot specially how it starts and ends !

Riot makes a new Jungle Adc and completly overnerfs the single best jungle item for her... Logic

This champ is just what I need. Now me and my premade Bard gonna make our team ragequit two times faster!

I love this champion so much, everything from the backstory to the model to the very atmosphere of it. One problem, however.... I go 0/10 with this champion every game. I don't know what I do wrong, but I SUCK at this champion. It might be because I main tanks, but this champion has a charm that I cannot resist; I might start maining ADCs so I can learn her, lol.

"Can only be seen in life's final moments" Omg the cinematic is so clever!!

7:12 "lee sin apparently didn't watch the champion spotlight" well, he's blind...

Anyone else see this champ and think of Wolf Link and Midna for whatever reason?

This is such a cool design for a character and those voices used for lamb and wolf are amazing.

My real name is Kyndred and I approve this video.

This might be one of the best champion lore riot has done in a long time. I love it because it adds a new feeling of attachment to the characters. Hope to see more of this in the future

I think i will try them on all lanes. Jungle and carry looks promising, but I think he/she will be nice at mid with good roaming potential and maybe even as support thanks to his/her game-changing ultimate. It looks quite balanced to me, good kiting potential, high skill cap and being squishy looks like good deal. In addition (as jungler) Kindred will rely on counterjungling which will be very dangerous due to her lack of hard cc... and Kindred will be very vulnerable to enemy counter-jungling. I cannot imagine how Kindred can win early 1 v 1 in jungle against guys like Xin Zhao, Lee Sin, Rek`Sai. She may have a chance against Master and Shaco but I am not sure until I see it on my own. My prediction is... Kindred will be a memepick. Just like Bard. Good players will make him/her works, but I think it may take quite high amout of time (just like Bard) for players to learn how at least not to troll with ultimate.

"Mobile marksman" >lowest runspeed for a jungler in the game, literally can't outrun any of the other junglers, despite her kit being entirely based on roaming around the jungle, which would require a higher speed

been playing since beta.. this is by far my favorite character design

That ultimate shouldve been Bard`s

woot had to nerf devour before she came out too

With every champion spotlight I watch, I am more and more convinced that Kindred got the short end of the stick.

Who's here after 2024 Cinematic?

katerina is gonna enjoy this guys ult so much. Just wait for the whole team to stand on it, get everyone low, and faceroll for easy penta as soon as buff ends

I smell perma banned in rank

nice job with all the champion spotlights they are all very helpful

Kindred voice acting is soooo good! I'm in love with Lamb now O.o I painted a skin for Kindred called "Foxbun Kindred" :P

I'm honestly really excited for this champion. Mainly because with her ultimate she's gonna be such a hard counter to assassins. I'm also excited because it'll be neat to see how the professional scene adapts to an ADC jungler, whether they'll pick her up or if she'll just fade away. Either way I'm excited to play her and i honestly think that she's pretty balanced. At least in terms of her kit. I'm not sure what her numbers are so maybe her ratios or base damages are broken or something but aside from that she seems fine. She's not SUPER mobile unless she's inside her W and she has only 1 form of CC, and it's soft CC, so if the enemy laner has some mobility they'll be fine so long as your laner has some kind of engage, or CC or follow up.

Love that piano backing.

Thank you for this! I've wanted to master Kindred. She's my favourite character in the game

Very interesting character, quite excited to get to try it out.

5 years already passed... Still this champion is beautiful

Anyone when Kindred marks them : Is that a challenge ?!

I saw what you did there in Arcane ep 5 , minut 21:50 the two masks! i got so hyped up when i saw the masks

"There is a bit of time after a camp is cleared to avoid giving directly the information to the enemy" Me a Kindred main : *clear the enemy krugs for mark* Game the second I kill the big krug : *Kindred, milestone passed : Mark Master* *The enemy mid laner and top run there to kill me down* God dammit

Finally a Rengar Counter. GJ RIOT

Kindred was op on release. Then nerfed to the ground and forgotten for like 2-3 years. Got minor buffs and is in a decent place but definitely is weaker than meta jg champs. Sad cause Kindred is such a neat concept for a champ.

I've been waiting ages for a champion that suits my style of fighting, Jinx was the closest but since i haven't played in ages I decided to check again. Now Kindred is my main o3o

So we have to wait till patch 5.20.......... Fuck this shit i want to play kindred

Welcome to League of Legends champion spotlight featuring Kindred, The Forgotten Hunters

Don't worry Rito, Yorick hasn't had a new skin in 4 years. But sure, keep making new champs

The character and the music reminds me of "Ori and the Blind Forest" and I Love it.

Okay... So this champ has a... Passive that makes them do more damage the more they kill enemies with it. A Q that dashes forward and deals damage to 3 nearby enemies. A W that casts a very large AOE skill with a special creature in said AOE that attacks whatever you do. A point and click slow for an E that, if you attack 3 times while they're under the effects, it deals max health percentage. And an R that basically grants immortality to all who enter it. Enemy OR ally. HOLY SHIT THAT'S AWESOME. I like these unique and weird champions that require you to know how to play as and with them, in order to succeed. Like Zilean, with his weird ult, like Bard, with his weird... EVERYTHING. And Now, Kindred, with her weird... See 'Bard".

I love Kindred. I love them. I just love them! I’m still a noob but I’m going to master the ways of kindred cause I’m a kindredmain 🥺🖤

i love kindred.. Favourite art style, Love how Wolf and Her interact with each thou.. and she can be very dangerous.

Bring back this kindred i loved the old kindred😢😢

compare the spotlight with the 1st ones xD

2spooky4me

I instantly fell in love with this champ

look how good kindred was when she came out...now look at her in season 7. :T

“Kindred is a pretty complicated champion” Samira and Aphelios: “allow us to introduce ourselves”

Their voice lines are the best in the game!

I still remember how they teased this champion with its marks while you are in game. I was so excited to see them and wasnt disapointed.

Because of the cinematic i love kindred even more.

Just thinking, but wouldn’t it be better if this champ worked like Nidalee? In a sense that you could switch between controlling a Wolf or a Lamb. I feel that it would better portray that they are two halves of a whole, because right now Wolf seems like a follower, a lot less important than the Lamb.

So Kindred is the reason for the recent nerf to Sated Devourer. IE: Ranged champions can only proc SD once every 4 attacks. Ironically, this nerf didn't do anything to the champs people are most complaining about, Yi, Xin, ect.

I freaking love kindred one of my favorite champions ever !!

I have played LoL from 2011 to 2014, and I am considering coming back to the game for this champion.

Who else is here from the wild rift 5.0 video where kindred was revealed?
