Overrated or underrated: Kindred

So, I just pulled him today from a grandmaster crystal. He is pretty cool, the design and special animations look cool and he is in general, fun to play and has some cool utility (after I tested him in some matches). But I've seen a mixed reception to this champion and he isn't talked about all that much. Most people say he's pretty mediocre (at least on attack).

He’s for sure an annoying defender

SagaChampion

You can trust him on your defence

Defense mostly

Polygon

Mephisto level defender

I'll be honest, I completely forgot about him

I don't find him a trouble in defense? He can be played around, unlike maestro, so you don't need a specific counter. Just try to stay away from him and don't let the degens stack on you, still those degens don't deal huge damage unless they stack a lot, and his root, can be played around by having a bar of power.

Why ppl are too afraid of him in defense?Am I missing something?

Ironic that you mentioned Maestro as having no counters to play around his mechanics, cuz Kindred is a perfect counter against him. #Atrophy 🙂

Nah I meant, you need a perfect counter like kindred or mojo against maestro.
But against kindred, you don't need a specific counter, you can play around those degens, But having a counter helps
That's the difference I want to point out, as someone compared mephisto with kindred, Mephisto really needs a counter as playing around without a counter is really tough, but kindred don't need one.
