Kindred's Ultimate: Lamb's Respite

I feel like Bard's ult is more for creating picks and punishing people who are out of position, whilst Kindred's ult serves more as a tool to win teamfights even though you're behind as a team, and also as a burst counter.

Finally, consider this: You are a Katarina waiting for your team to weaken the enemies enough to go in. Your team seems to be losing, but then the friendly Kindred casts Lamb's Respite and despite your team initially losing, they manage to weaken the enemy team a lot and both sides are near-death after the ultimate ends. Cleanup time.

Not exactly. For one, you can't just fire it anywhere. You have to fire it under a friendly target. That, and the cast range is far shorter than Bard's ult. Second, the ult's not going to do anything for those with full HP, rather they are friend or foe.
Thirdly, people can still move under the circle, even the one initially targeted by the ult.
Finally, people can be moved out of the circle, rendering it ineffective to those forced out of it.

It's more of a modified version of Tynd's ult + heal, instead effecting everyone within a close area. If it actually could fire anywhere, than ya, it would be a lot more like Bard's ult.

While I definitely can see how it can be useful, I can also tell it's not going to be as OP as people think. The heal is not that great for an ult, and those who stand in it can still be effected by CC.

Honestly Kindred just seems to be a huge counter to heavy burst champs, and will probably just shift the meta to favor champs with better sustained damage. I can think of quite a few AP laner's that are going to love countering the crap out of Kindred, like Cass and Vlad. Champions that favor longer battles will always beat out kindred, and that's the lambs inheirent weakness. The Champ isn't gonna be op unless you attack the champ from the wrong angles. A lot of people are just so set on using assassins to carry themselves up the ELO ladder because it's easy and simple, and usually is hard to counter once you get snowballing. It's just a ranged champ that can finally negate the Danger's of being squishy, and everyone's crying foul because they want to cheese the game as much as they can in ranked.
