Kindred Buffs?

Kindred feels pretty horrible right now. Literally feast or famine incarnate. I personally think the Q changes should either get reverted but she needs help in general.

She needs them and I've argued night and day over why:

  • The hunts might as well be marked as bullseyes, because any smart players will camp then and kill you when you go for one. In my last few games with her, I've either not made it fast enough or had to fight just to get hunts. She's poop without them.

  • She's slow and it takes forever to get to the hunts and escape from enemies.

  • A full build Graves can have stats of 385+ AD at 1 AS/second. A full build kindred is going to have 100+ at 2 AS/Second. You'd need double the time to do the same damage with Kindred.

  • Her casting range on her ult is not far enough. If you could cast it further, you could start a fight and put it somewhere for an escape. Instead, you basically have to put it on top of you.

  • Her hp and armor are just pathetic. She struggles in the 1500HP combo meta we have.

I'm Level 7 on Kindred, and I agree. They is very weak at the moment after Riot gave them too much, realized what a monster was created, and proceeded to nerf her into non-existence.

Ideas for buffs:

  • Give her a decaying movement speed boost if her Q hits more than one target
  • Make the 3rd E damage scale off AD
  • Reduce time it takes to mark enemies to maybe 5 seconds
  • Jungle marks appear on nearest camp that applies rather than RNG
  • Passive damage is more effective on Marked champs (maybe 50-ish% damage increase on the bonus Q and current health damage)

Give +5 MS. Give some base armor back. Optional: Return the heal, but against ENEMY CHAMPIONS ONLY.

Seeing as Riot won't buff "Miss 31.67% Winrate Kalista", I really don't see a world in which they would buff Kindred. Sorry.

They should give Kindred 50 more range for her autoattacks that way she doesn't struggle trying to duel other ranged champions or give her more movement speed or base attack speed.
