Kindred Passive breaks when it targets Rift Herald

Has happened in 100% of games with kindred so far after recently purchasing her. The first 2 or 3 buffs will hit camps in the enemy jungle. The fourth will hit Rift Herald but every subsequent proc will hit Rift Herald. Even after 20 minutes. The passive remains working and you can see it disappear once the time runs out however it will again retarget a jungle monster that is no longer there.

Testing this in a custom game at the moment to make sure it is recreated a third time.

at 19:45 Rift herald died and kept the buff active. Will monitor Baron to see if the buff will ever transfer to him, as well as solo baron later to see if he gives a stacks though he does not hold the buff.

50 Minutes in-game now. After 16-18 minutes Kindred's passive only hits baron. Not sure if that's intentional, however killing baron when he does not have the buff DOES still give a stack of kindred's passive. After killing Baron, the passive will wait for baron to respawn. Still could be a bug, at least the big guy does give a stack at least.

Results inconclusive. Second baron did not give a stack.

[slayer-jinx-unamused] Here's to hoping this gets clarified/fixed/attention. 3rd baron did give away a stack, so he's only somewhat a Scrooge. For newer kindred players however I wish more clarity was provided to let players know their passive will stop hunting camps and only target baron after 15-20 minutes.

Also noticed this. However, I was already at 6 stacks from jungle monsters so I'm not sure if that makes a difference.
