Champion Reveal: Kindred, the Eternal Hunters

So, although it is likely we will have answers in 24 to 48 hours from P.B.E, I'd just like to throw some questions about this champions abilities from the reveal today.

If you have not read the article about Kindred yet, I suggest you do so.. C:

-How long are champions/large monsters marked for from Kindred's passive? -Will the bonus damage from killing marked targets be physical or magic damage, or based on recent champions.. true damage D: ? -Is Q, Dance of Arrows treated like three basic attacks? If so, do they apply on hit effects I.e. the bonus damage from Kindred's passive? -Does Q, Dance of Arrows, apply a stack of E, Mounting Dread on hit? -Does the stacks from W, Wolf's Frenzy scale with general movement or distance covered? Edit: -How will Kindred's W, Wolf's Frenzy active scale? And will it apply on-hit effects or proc E, Mounting Dread on hit? -Will Kindred's W, Wolf's Frenzy damage scale with bonus passive damage? -Will W, Wolf's Frenzy or E, Mounting Dread be cast able on large jungle creatures? If so, will there be a maximum damage for W, Wolf's Frenzy passive and E, Mounting Dread?

That's all for now, since I haven't reviewed the entire article about his playstyle that contains more useful information, but I'm certain I'll be back with an edit soon enough. :D Really great champion concept guys, instant-buy! item 3067 Nocturne

First, omg an ADC jungler. I've wanted this for so long, ever since Jinx was so OP on release that you could actually take her jungle and not die to the camps(then they nerfed her "early game" :P). I miss the old leash system though, playing full Attack Speed and just abusing the reset by shooting before the camp reset. Devourer Vayne too, that was pretty awesome. And now Riot's making it for real, a champion designed to be an ADC in the jungle, and one they'll actually balance around and provide a niche for. So excited.

I'm going to guess that the buff will last on champions for at least 30 seconds, probably a minute. It marks champions across the map, you have to have enough time to actually get over there to gank. Maybe monsters will have a reduced duration(and definitely reduced reward)

Bonus damage will probably be physical. It'll also be pretty small, like maybe +6. They also say "a stackable boost", so it might not even be bonus damage, but maybe special effects like Bard's passive(AOE, slows, more charges, etc.) We'll have to see, but it's probably not going to be significant enough to snowball the game, since otherwise they'll be really hard to balance.

Q looks like the same as basic attacks, I'd guess that they are. Maybe they'll be like item 3085 E will probably work like Braum passive and Runaan's does i.e. yes, it will stack on Q. W will probably work like Statikk Shiv and Luden's Echo i.e. distance covered(whether by moving, getting pulled, recalling, etc.)
