Put more power into the stacks, like maybe making Q apply a % of the damage, and nerf her base damage. If she can't clear the jungle with weak base damage, give her a little % extra damage to monsters.
Right now you can ignore the hunts and still do amazingly well on Kindred, which is sad because in my opinion Mark of the Kindred gives the healthiest and most satisfying minigame.
MunchCrunchLunch1 votesaround good team play kindred can't really get much stacks beyond the first 6. always 2-3 enemies just waiting for you in a bush. sure you might get ones off kills or assists but its unlikely since everyone with the right mind play safe when they have the mark on them
TheSlogs1 votes"Good team" and "2-3 enemies just waiting for you in a bush" don't go together. You would give up way too much advantage to do that. Also people will play safe with or without the hunt on them since they are against kindred, but not anymore that just careful because you can't sacrifice that much.
TehNACHO1 votesExcept, strategically, that's not the point of Kindred.
Kindred is more like Lee Sin than they are Master Yi when it comes to the Jungle, in that a lot of their power is front loaded into their early game leverage than it is their hyper scaling capabilities. Vayne does the %health shred hyper carry job better, and Kog'Maw blows both of them out of the water when it comes to being a hyper carry. Kindred's hunting buff is really just a crutch to make sure they don't totally fall off a cliff come late game due to them building in a way to leverage their early game.
TheSlogs1 votesThat's simply because her base numbers are overturned. If you look at her kit, you would think she would be someone that should be focusing on late game.
TehNACHO1 votesExcept if you really think she's just plain ol overtuned, how come her win rate actually decreases based on how long the game is?
Furthermore, looking at her kit, one of the most important influences, her auto attack range, puts her pretty squarely against the normal hyper carry standard. Hyper carries in this game traditionally have well over 550 AA range or can reach it in the case of Kog'Maw, meaning that if anything, this suggests Kindred contrary to being a late game hyper carry.
