Why not make kindred's passive benefit from life steal

Seems like a buff that could arguably be considered a QoL buff, and should not make for a large swing in performance.

Upvoting for the sake of buffing kindred in general

That would be okay I guess. But her base stats (MS/armor in particular) need a buff more in general. And the Heal passive on her W should be returned, but either on champions only and/or lessened healing amount/stacking time length.

considering one of the core items is botrk is this really a smart response for the obvious reasoning of the proposal?....

Should be fully applied healing from passive, and they build runaans anyway, making the healing it grants even more substantial, same with bork.

That's absolutely not a QOL buff. If you think that's a QOL buff you don't understand what QOL is. It's just a straight buff.

Also it honestly makes Blade of the Ruined King too much of a power spike item for her, similar to if Azir's soldiers could apply Nashor's Tooth. There's such a thing as too much synergy between a kit and a single item.

They mean specifically just the bonus from her Hunts, not from items like BOTRK.

i thought all physical on hit damage is considred for lifesteal. if it doesn't already something is wrong

kindred is something of a special case, it has been brought up before so it is safe to assume that it is intended.

There are some intentional exceptions. Bloodrazor's physical on-hit doesn't apply lifesteal either. Riot specifically said that this was intentional when the item was reworked.
