The Small Changes I would Like To See On Kindred
After playing and watching kindred abit there are two simple changes that I would love to see maybe implemented for her in the future if she needed some interesting changes.
-
Make her Q apply on hit effect, so Tri Force proc, lifesteal, manamune etc, you get the idea. (at the very least apply a stack for his E)
-
Make her Q reduction from W a amount or % based so you can build CDR/rank it up and make it more relevant late game and more useful.
So the reason for the above.
- It really seems like his Q should be a mini runnan's for that one jump and apply on hits, especially considering he has tri force for his recommended and that it really feels abit out of place that it doesn't apply on hits especially the fact that it does not put a stack onto his E this seems super out of place with how he feels like he should combo. I can't be the only one that feels like this (its like rek'sai's burrowed Q not slowing even though everyone seems to think that it does or should do that, but it doesn't) it feels the same here for kindred with the Q.
2.1) It feels like his Q becomes much worse the later in the game you get, because at level 2 a 2 second CD on that ability is really good and allows you to get some good trades in however as the game gets longer and that 2 second flat mark stays the same it becomes more and more useless especially seeing as how easy it is to get out of the W it really feels like at most you get 2 maybe 3 Q's off in that time. It feels like you should be kitting or jumping around people in the W area and have it set up as a area you don't want to fight kindred (think like trundle on his ice) and you punish people who try to fight you in it.
2.2) Its especially annoying as it makes any sort of CD useless when you have W active it feels like the W should reduce the Q CD by a flat amount (e.g. 5 seconds) or % based (think Fiora Q, but only in the W circle) that way it allows you to jump around the W area but not make the ability overbearing when out of W or when it is down.
I think these small changes would open kindred up to allow more play with in her area and fit more with ideas and themes of how she seems to be wanted to played, with there being some major sore points that seem massively out of place (Like Q not applying stacks for E) that just seem like they should be changed.
P.S I purposefully went between he and she when talking about kindred cause of the theme of kindred.
