Idea for Kindred's QOL change/Rework

I have an idea for Kindred's passive QOL change or rework, call it whatever you want. Kindred's early game is too weak due to her low base stats, she has no room for catch up once shes behind because she relies on her passive way too much aaand its really easy for the enemy jungler to steal her marks. Pretty much every single non tank jungler can 1v1 Kindred early game, Lee Sin, Elise, Evelyn, Warwick, Xin Zhao, Jarvan, rven Rammus, etc. and take her mark right in front of her nose just like that. The problem here, isn't just the fact thah Lee Sin is going to assassinate Kindred at lvl 3 due to her INSANELY low base stats, but also the fact that ENEMY CAN SEE THE MARK AT THE SAME TIME YOU DO. No, I am not going to ask for a buff as Kindred really is strong at 8+ marks at 20 minutes but.....it barely happens, 8 mars are close to impossible to achieve at 20 minute mark because they either appear far away from you, you cant get there in time before it was already taken or, you simply can't fight for it because you are weaker. That leads to another problem, your next mark, after scuttle crabs are going to be enemy Raptors, Kruggs or Gromp, if you dont already have an upperhand, you are taking SO MUCH risk to dive deep into the enemy jungle because you are probably going to end up dead. In order to fix this without buffing Kindreds base stats Riot should just give her some sort of lead when it comes to her marks. I dont care if enemy can see my marks but I really hate that they can see them at the same time I do. Just give her 30 seconds lead, let her see the mark 30 seconds before they get wisible for the enemy team so she will have enough of time to travel from one side of the map to the enemy Gromp and at least try to contest it as it is already closer to the enemy because its deep in his jungle. That could help Kindred and prevent the situation when she cant reach her matk in time and it would also encourage enemy jungler to ward his camps more often. Playing Kindred at her current state isn't rewarding in any sense, you have to decide either to gank or to go for the mark, if you decide to gank, you can fail or not and dont get the mark, ot you can risk and go for the mark that can easily be taken away from you because you are either late, or enemy jungler is thate and you arent strong enough to fight and contest it. Its like playing an important yet high risk - medicore game within a game with the potential to lose both, the mark if you decide to gank or the kill if you gank but are too weak because you don't have the mark.

If you dont like this idea, why dont you make her less reliant on her passive, because, let's be real, Kindred with 4 marks at 20 minutes and Kindred with 7-8 marks at 20 minute are completelly different chamipion. Remove her passive bonuses on her abilities, buff her base stats and abilites as a compensadion and give her completelly different passive or do something similar like you did with Rengars bonetooth. Remove bonuses for her abilities, compensate her with base stats and give ger simething else after marking and killing enemy champion, it doesnt have to be anything big idk, it could be slightly increased MS when chasing that same champion as it was marked and killed before (goes well with her theme as a hunter, just remember how Kindred hunted that woman in the lore) or give her Q extended range when bouncing backwards after scoring a second marked kill, idk, that just crossed my mind. That champion simply needs help.
