Kindred - Unable to Differentiate Friendly Kindred Ult from Enemy Kindred Ult

During teamfights, you cannot readily differentiate between an ally Kindred's ult and an enemy Kindred's ult, thus making players unsure if they can go all-in or should back off.

This should be updated for clarity for Team Builder and Blind Pick game modes. Knowing if your ally Kindred still has ult can make a huge difference, and knowing which Kindred ult is in progress at a glance would help teamfighting. You can't rely on the enemy Kindred to ult and save your team, but you could somewhat rely on your allied Kindred to do so.

tl;dr Clarity please.

Edit: I know there will be people who will say it doesn't matter, but it does. Knowing if your ally still has their ult without taking your eyes off the fight may not seem like much but it can make all the difference. And I know they do the same thing, but you need to know if your ally still has their ult or not.

Another Edit: I'm aware of the green dots and what they mean. That doesn't mean the ults shouldn't have color codes on them to save me from looking away from the fight for something that could be right in front of me with no effort on Riot's part.

It doesn't matter which Kindred casts the ult, but you should be able to tell by positioning and situation. Who casted the ult shouldn't make any difference at all on how your team reacts.

Lastly, your teammate icons should be either on the left of the screen or the above the minimap with ult timer circle by each champion. Green if they have ult, empty if they just used it, partially green and progressively filling while on CD.

Green dots above minimap. Train to keep an awareness on that. as well as hp bars. Hard to split focus but it is helpful.
