Threw together some picks. I wish I could take the time to actually, like, look into everyone, but sadly time is a luxury I don't really have at the moment.

Jungler Marksman with an AoE Tryndamere ultimate. Specializes in getting stacks from kills that increase maximum percentage of life damage to enemies. In short, if Kalista was a Jungler... |

You sayin' I like dudes?

;o
Also super psyched about Kindred as a character even if I'm underwhelmed by their kit (the Wolf seems more like a sidekick than an equal entity). Still gonna get them on release. |

Kindred looks a lot like Xbalanque from smite in terms of playstyle. Get Kills & Assists for permanent stacks, destroy people with kiting. But that ult is broken as shit though. Take one of the most high priority heroes in DOTA (Dazzle), copy his ult, and make it AOE...
Still I really like Kindred. I wanna see how they fare as Bot/Mid instead of jungle, I think mid would work with Kindred being able to roam and invade the jungle to hunt, and bot would be super safe past level 6. Imagine the tower dives with this guy! EDIT: Oh, Kindreds ult also saves enemies that are inside it. Thats... kinda stupid honestly. Like if they're giving it a drawback, this shouldn't be it, maybe decrease the radius or make it last a little less. Cause this is AOE this makes it impossible to pretty much anything with it aggressively. Last edited by Midgeorge; 09-16-2015 at 12:45 PM. |

I'm also less interested in seeing Kindred in the jungle and instead in the top and mid lanes.
Am excite. |

I mean, if your team is losing a fight Kindred's ult could be used to change the tide, but if the fight is going even remotely well its going to hinder your team more than help it.

Actually it has great use in tower control or split pushing. Since the ult only affects champions, minions, or monsters, a team (or Kindred by themselves) can throw down the ult and take out a tower without fear of being slaughtered by an enemy team defending the tower. Obviously there are situations where this isn't ideal but it's definitely useful.

Kindred will be so good for tower diving and team fighting. The ult is actually really broken, and while it can protect and heal enemies as well, well placed Kindred ults will separate the good player from the bad.
I've watched ADC Kindred games and from what I can tell it's not really viable. For a marksmen Lamb's range is too short and if you're going to take it into a lane I'd imagine mid would work best (as a top laner myself, I just can't see it working out, but who knows). I apparently still have PBE access so tomorrow when I get home from work I'm going to play a few games of Kindred in different roles and get a feel for 'em. Bonus video: Kindred is broken |

I would imagine the sustain and lane harass she gets from her W would more than enough to make up for her short range, added to her kiting ability. I think her ult isn't really suited to a primarily damage dealing champion. I mentioned Xbalanque earlier, his ultimate makes everyone on the enemy team have reduced vision for 5 seconds and at the end of it, stuns anyone who is still moving. This kind of thing would've been fine, cause it has some sort of engage. But the ult that she has just doesn't seem to fit right with the rest of her. Seems like she has it just cause Rito had the idea and didn't think to have another champion for the ult to work around. Like, thematically a hunter shouldn't be fucking saving enemies or even friends. Its the same case as Tahm Kench, like, everything else is great but the ult just doesn't fit and seems there for the sake of it. I suppose throwing it on the right person is key, if you put it on your backline in a standard face-off kind of teamfight (tanks at the front, damage at the back from both sides) then it would keep your tank(s) alive whilst the enemy backline is still vulnerable. But if its a more scattered skirmishy teamfight then it'll be really hard to determine who to put the ult on. I'll give her a go in all roles when she comes out. Obviously she'll be strongest in the jungle, but I hate jungle yet love the marksman role. Bard/Kindred botlane sounds pretty strong Last edited by Midgeorge; 09-17-2015 at 09:52 AM. |

I don't think it'll be an extremely popular or even viable one as it lacks many things that Quinn has, but against champs like Garen I feel like it'll do well. Low CD dash, sustain, and a 70% slow. Quinn's issue is that her Vault can so easily be interrupted and she's completely targetable during it, whereas Kindred has a quickshot for a dash instead. EDIT: Oh and Lamb's Respite can sorta help with Garen and Darius ultimates. |

Changed my Pick'em picks cause of some rumors floating around about scrims. AHQ underperforming, FW looking like an even footing team, so iG takes second spot. CLG performing well, so they take FW spot for second. Origen massively overperforming according to a few coaches, so they take second spot for now, will have to look at their Soloq rankings to decide fully.

Because a Tryndmere with his ult, Kayle ult, Bard ult, and Zilean ult wasn't already overkill

Still a high chance they'll get it :o I doubt AHQ will pick Kalista again without knowing that Veigar is out.
Anyway I'm glad I got to see Fnatic fuck iG up without showing any new picks, good chance they could even go 6-0 in their group. Also even though CLG won this should be a good lesson that you guys shouldn't underestimate the Flash Wolves. CLG got the literal dream composition and still struggled to beat them. I think if NL was on over Kkramer they would've won. I rate NL. Like, he's really good. Last edited by Midgeorge; 10-01-2015 at 06:57 PM. |
