Since its last nerf we no longer see any Kindred, I remember that there was a buff on the PBE but it was cancel and since nothing, do you have any info for the future of Kindred ?

They've been talking about buffing Kindred and changing the way their marks appear since they implemented the new minimap icon system for Ivern, but here we are 5 months later with nothing. Can't help but notice the Anivia and Nunu changes that were announced with Kindred's have been implemented though.

Kindred might not be the easiest champ to play, but with practice kindred can wreck late game; its all about prioritizing stacks above all else. If they want to make kindred more viable they need to rework how stacks are gained to make them easier to collect. Despite having games where I get tons of stacks and just 2-3 shot ppl with my aa alone (thanks botrk for synergizing so i deal an extra 40% current hp) ontop of the crits; I also have games where the laners kill my targest before I can get to them and I get almost no stacks and then am completely worthless all game.

Kindred is ok-ish as is, but reworking stacks would definately help, although I dont want them to chaneg what sstacks do; I love the %current hp on hit, I just think that there should be some rule or mechanic in place to smooth out the stacks so they cant become impossible to get, but maybe limit them by makign them harder to get as you go along or adding in extra effects?

Idk maybe make stacks be like rengars where you dont target ppl but get each person ocne then after that maybe stacks can give other utility effects like out of combat mov speed, attack speed, or life steal or something. idk lol, but getting some Rioter's opinions and having an open conversation would be great.
