Kindred's Current Reliance on Mark System - It has got to go
Kindred is by far a feast or famine champion with a very special caveat.
Marks.
I'm seeing scorn and bullying behavior from Kindred player's own teams, stealing marks from friendly Kindred junglers as much as other teams might.
The mark system can be pretty rewarding when a mark is achieved - but Kindred's system of making smart choices is utterly unique and utterly vulnerable - and telegraphs any gank Kindred might be right outside to go for.
This is why Kindred is only picked maybe 8% of the time on op.gg all over the world
Proposal: Have Kindred gain marks on assists from jungle monsters and also make it blind to the enemy team.
Kindred players will still have to make that sacrificing choice between not two objective points (a lane vs a jungle objective) but THREE as Kindred must - because levels in marks (every 4 then 3) are required for this champion to function.
If Kindred decides to mark an enemy champion, just put out a scary general teamwide voice effect ringing in their ears, or even better, let their entire team know one of them is marked. Its a great fun theatrical effect and does not weaken the champion.
Upon completing the kill, let the team know what just happened.
Change the mark system's vulnerability to complete bullying from all sides! Get RID of It!
It completely prevents this champion from truly shining.
Kindred will always be vulnerable as an ADC squishy, there is no harm in making Kindred on the same level of predictability as *all other Junglers* - There *is no other Jungler* that can be weakened and attacked by members of *both teams* *and* without even having to engage Kindred in a fight.
