She is an adc for the jungle, that is something new.

I like the idea, I just wish it executed Kindred's identity of two working together better.

They're only for jungle cause Rito says so. You could've done it before, and if you were good, you'd do fine. They basically copied the idea from things people innovated by themselves so that they could fill in their lack of creativity. Also with the sated nerf on ranged, They'll be worthless.

The only ADCs that could reliably gank were Twitch (invisible assassinations) and Vayne (Hard CC), though. All the others (Ezreal, namely) brought nothing but damage. I'm still on the fence about Ashe Jungle (which I haven't seen period, much less see work). Nevertheless, I think I've seen Draven Jungle work.

You could play bruiser botlane before and some people did it, but it wasn't meta until they released a bruiser, who was especially designed to be played botlane (Mordekaiser).

this was their chance to do Quinn right.

They instead opted for a mobility 3xstacker %maxHp paragon of blandness.

Wolf does less than Valor.

Let that sink in for a moment.

Players can not play AS Wolf.

Even if you ignore Quinn's ultimate, Valor does way more than Wolf.

If by "does more" you mean, "is the entire base of Quinn's kit" then you are correct. If you notice, Quinn doesn't actually DO anything herself besides vault and AA. Q? Valor. W? Valor. E? Quinn, then Valor again. R: Literally just Valor, until the finisher which is Quinn.

If you can take a second to understand that she directs wherever and when ever Valor does something then yes. It's also true that Valor does do more than wolf. They are more a perfect duo champion than Kindred. Riot missed the opportunity with Kindred but hey, we still have Quinn and her amazing other champ Valor (WHO I WANT TO PLAY STRANGELY MORE THAN QUINN). Valor and Quinn share the passive. They share the QWE and R. Kindred shares the E, passive, and R. (And why is it that Kindred has so much range for a jungler and yet Urgot only gets 425?)

And then you realize that Kindred--Wolf and Lamb--is ONE entity. Quinn and Valor are technically separate beings, and even have different champion portraits.
