Kindred Change Ideas

Hey there, Onwodori here.

So Kindred needs a pick up I, and many others, think. Maybe we can't have them back to where they used to be, but I feel as though a decent sized rework to redefine them would be nice.

Namely, I think a new playstyle would be appreciated. Their ult has always felt strange to me and many others have pointed out 'why is death preventing death?' So, a new ultimate that is just a toggle like Nidalee's is my idea, allowing you to actively swap between controlling Wolf and Lamb.

Lamb's abilities would more or less remain the same, but Wolf would have a more aggressive, bruiser-y style, such is his personality.

Here is my proposed idea:

Wolf Passive: Wolf still keeps track of the amount of stacks of 'The Kindred' they both have, but rather than extra damage, Wolf gets additional health regeneration based on the number of take downs. This can range from a nice tick to keep them middle-d health in the jungle to something like a Mundo passive towards the end of the game.

Q - Wolf dashes towards the cursor as Lamb does, but instead of Arrows, he bounds and pounces, damage and slowing nearby enemies.

W - Wolf asks Lamb to watch his blind spots, Lamb autonomously attacking the first enemy that attacks Wolf after the activation. To protect her dearest Wolf and make sure she doesn't shoot him, Lamb attacks with intent, attacking slower by 50/45/40/35/35% but has an additional 5/15/25/35/45% critical strike Chance

E - Wolf's next auto attack is empowered, dealing additional damage and shredding the enemies armor by a percentage. If Wolf's E is activated after Wolf has pounced onto an enemy with Q, they are also rooted for a duration.

R - Swaps between who leads, Wolf or Lamb. For a brief period after switching, Lamb receives a 10/20/30% movement speed increase for 2 seconds and Wolf receives 15/30/45 armor and 10/20/30 magic resistance for 4 seconds. The toggle has no cost but is on a static
