Actually a champion having shit ratios doesn't mean they don't scale well with items.

Twisted Fate only has 3 AP ratios and they're all pretty meh yet he still scales and synergizes amazingly with items (Lich Bane, Luden's Echo, Zhonya's all work perfectly with his kit)

Kindred also has amazing item synergy, BORK adds up to a LOT of damage with her passive, Runaan's lets you spread your damage, Armor Pen also increases your damage output by a lot since she only deals physical damage, most notably her passive. It's true that she doesn't synergize well with common ADC item paths like IE into PD into BT, she has a unique build path which is what Riot wants ADCs to have since it's so boringly linear rn.

Top lane she works pretty well especially against immobile melee champions, since she's hypermobile and her kit lets her harass amazingly well. Stacking the passive is a problem tho, sometimes you're able to get the rift scuttler or you can kill your lane opponent. But if you fall behind you won't really get any stacks for a while.

Bot lane stacking is easier with a kill support like leona against squishy sustain lanes like vayne and sona/soraka etc since you can swap around between the two  targets and woN't have to wait 4 minutes all the time and they're fairly easy to kill in an all in. Otherwise Kindred ADC is very subpar as she's either outranged all the time and/or outdamaged.
