How to fix Kindred

Kindred (The Eternal Hunters) - Champions - League of Legends

As you can see in the link provided and by the title of this thread I believe that Kindred is very underdeveloped. Her, win percentage falls well below the 50% median almost like Syndra did before she started getting popular and had a couple buffs to bring her into the average players hands. Now, I don't want to get too technical with it as I believe a couple fixes could set her up well in the jungle/adc roles.

  1. Make her Q target Champions first followed by weaker units. What I mean by this is that her Q has such a small area to operate in already that I feel it is even made more gimp by the fact that her Q doesn't already target champions. Granted, when activating Wolf, she gets a large CD buff to her Q, which gives her the ability to kite within in her own circle, but the problem still exists in that area. If minions are present inside of Wolfs attack range then she targets minions instead of champions; whichever is closer.

  2. Let her Q proc her E when trying to snare someone. I don't think I have to put much into this as her Q is already considered AA but doesn't give her E an ability to proc. I would just like to see her Q ability be able to proc her E ability.

  3. This one maybe a stretch but try to follow me along with this. I find her ulti confusing, almost useless in a all in team fight, and most of all just under appreciated. I think that the whole idea is really cool and I don't want to change the numbers or anything but what I would like to see is for Lamb to be able to heal her allies and give them, heal over time buff, once the ulti has come to an end. While Wolf can will attack the weakest person from the ulti.

In other words, Lamb gives a blessing of some sort to her allies at the end of the ulti and Wolf will wait for the end of the ulti (mind you everyone will still be invulnerable at 10%) and strike whoever is the weakest.

I believe that these three will solve her problems without having to tweak her numbers. She is strong as she is but she needs some love to be able to compete and get noticed.

Please share any ideas you may have or anything you don't agree with in my assessment.

I'm just annoyed they keeping nerfing them. On the PBE, their ult can only be self casted now, hopefully they revert the change.

I think they need to put her passive heal back in. Her entire kit was designed around gaining stacks by moving around, and at 100 stacks she gets a small, not at all OP heal. And then they removed it. That heal was her saving grace in the jungle (where she belongs) and made up for her slow, low damage early game in bot lane.
