Why are you forcing new champions into a lane?
I don't know how else to word the title, but I feel like Riot is trying to force new champions (Or remade champions) into lanes to change the meta. While it's not a bad thing to try and change something; forcing change isn't the way to go about.
First we got Morde's rework. and it originally attempted to force Morde into a duo-bot lane with his W only capable of use on an ally or ghost. Recently changed, Morde still has a passive on one of his abilities that gives him full experience for killing minions, attempting to replace the common ADC instead of giving the full exp to him regardless of his position on the team.
Now we have Kindred, who's sole passive is gutted when they go into a lane. They do have the ability to roam, but it's denying her experience, giving the enemy laner tower damage and free farm, and the ally jungler their camps just to stack their passive when a camp becomes marked.
And, yes, she can choose which enemy champion to mark, but she needs to obtain those kills to stack, which can be hard or near impossible in a fair lane fight without an ally ganking or the enemy making a mistake. And it also isn't as fast or effective in numbers when she goes into the jungle.
Anyone else think this is what Riot has been trying to do, and the attempt to force a role needs to stop, and instead try to make a champion unique in any given role or situation?
. Of course he was awful in lane to begin with, but the rework essentially forces him to go into the jungle. Some people actively want to try Skarner in a lane, and sometimes if you have an AFK and need to cover toplane, then your passive just gives the enemy jungler free gold while he's taking your camps.
