So, I have one problem with Kindred...

The dance. I'm absolutely in love with the visuals, the kit, the VO, everything...mostly. For a duo of spirit hunters, I feel there was a lot more they could have done with their dance, Lamb prances, turns, and prances. Wolf glides about her. And I know it's likely a reference I'm missing completely that would make it awesome, but it's just.... boring. When I think of a contrasting spirit duo, I think polar opposites, I think of balance, fluid, spiritual motion. This current dance really failed to impress.

I do however, have a suggestion, one dance in particular came to mind as a suitable replacement, The dance of the Dragon, from Avatar. https://imgur.com/RxGrlaj I think this dance would fit perfectly, because of how Wolf hover's ever Lamb's shoulder, and it just seems way more harmonious and spiritual than their current one. What do you think?

EDIT: I understand that it would be very difficult to go back and get entirely new animations just for their dance, I understand, this is just something I'd like to see implemented, perhaps in a future skin of theirs, either way, I'll be buying their bundle, and playing a lotta them.

This would be perfect

Out of curiosity. Has Riot EVER changed an animation of a champion once they hit PBE? I mean like, totally change it and not just tweak it.

Anything like it would be pretty cool. It does feel like a bit of a let down considering how fluid everything else is looking.

Dances are usually comical, not serious.

This is an amazing idea.

As much as I like the idea, Riot openly said that out of all the work they put into champions as of late, dances are at the bottom of their list unfortunately. Most of the time its just a single looping movement now, instead of dance movements.

Stop whining about everything. This community is never pleased with anything.

Here I was thinking it was gonna be something along the lines of why Quinn, Bard, and any other champ with an rng passive faced. The unreliability of said ability. Quinn's "vulnerable" passive procs what ever it wants. Oh you've vaulted k I'mma come down and mark them at the same time. Or Vayne is at 1/8 hp k I'll mark support. At least Garens mark doesn't hinder him. It's more like a notice "Hey kill this guy he probably has a bounty." Then you have Bards chimes that riot did fix for the most part and no longer are you trekking into enemy jungle at 2 mins in.
