Kindred, do they really fit their theme? Disappointed.

This post is not about whether they're is overpowered or not, it's about that new champions should bring something new, what does kindred bring? A marksman jungle? Is that innovating? No, it's just like how some supports can top lane and support.

Do they set up a good gank and get rewarded for it ? No, they put their w down, put their e on someone, spam dash and autos and the enemy laner dies, outsustains other junglers with a passive that can be used without even having to fight, doesn't really have anything new or special in her kit besides kiting seen on various other marksman, an ult that doesn't even fit their theme.

That's how I see kindred, kind of disappointing, she's fun to play because her ganks are so ridiculous and her sustain is arguably the best out of the junglers but that's about it, was hoping to see something new other than what seems to be a Frankenstein champion. (Heaps of things already seen put into one champion).

And what might be the most disappointing is when I'm playing Kindred it feels like wolf is an accessory, not my other half.

While Riot have done well to make them balanced (In most places), I don't think they've met the 50/50 dream team (Two champions in one if you know what I mean).

And do I feel like I'm playing the embodiment of death? Nope, their ult saves people even. (When I play karthus I do feel like I'm playing death itself).

(I'll use exact numbers here)

Let's look at their kit:

Passive: This is the only part of her kit that fits her theme as a hunter, everything else while of course you could argue are tools to aide her, they aren't anything special or unique) (Though aiming priority targets is normal in league it rewards you more for it).

Q. A Dash similar to these champions:

W. Sustain that charges / On auto attack sustain by ability.

W "Wolf attacks nearby enemies and while in this field her q get's reduced to 2 seconds"

So "Wolf" Does DOT to nearby enemies or the enemies that lamb attacks... ...?

A field that empowers?

E. A THREE HIT PROC. (Kind of for varus)

R: A field that effects enemies and allies in the same way:

Prevents death by ultimate:

My view on kindred.
