Kindred vs Viego

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Kindred's ranged dueling and high early pressure to contest marks and river fights when nearby lanes have priority.
Focus on securing marks and objective control to leverage Kindred's strong scaling and ranged objective DPS.
Avoid committing to fights without lane support as Viego can punish isolated skirmishes with resets.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize pathing around expected mark spawns and contest river control when lanes have priority.
Use ranged kiting to punish Viego's melee approach and avoid isolated fights where he can reset.
Track Viego's pathing to shadow volatile lanes for counter-ganks and deny his reset opportunities through objective control.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights where Viego can use (W) stun and (R) reset to snowball.
Beware of forced smite fights around objectives where Viego's reset can turn the tide.
Be cautious during low-health clears or when your lanes lack priority, as Viego can invade or counter-gank effectively then.

Early game

Start with a path that prioritizes early marks and sets vision before entering enemy jungle to contest marks safely.
Fight for first Scuttle only when your lanes can move first to avoid risky isolated fights.
Avoid overcommitting to invades before securing lane priority or when Viego's lanes can collapse on you.

Power spikes

At level 6, leverage Kindred's (R) to reset fights and kite Viego's engage attempts.
Exploit Viego's vulnerability before his first fighter item by denying early takedowns and forcing him out of jungle camps.
Respect Viego's power spike after his first fighter item when his sustained dueling and reset potential increase.

Win conditions

Use lane priority to secure marks and kite river fights, denying Viego early resets.
Convert skirmish advantages into objective control by leveraging Kindred's ranged DPS and (R) for extended fights.
Counter-jungle and track Viego to delay his scaling and prevent him from snowballing through resets.
