Kindred's thematic of being the representation of Death shouldn't mean the champ is dead to players
So Kindred has been probably my all time favorite champion since their introduction (with the possible exceptions of Kayn and new Evelynn) and I've played the champion through all of the highs and lows every Kindred player knows. From the secret OP pocket pick to the literal god who stomped the meta to getting nerfed and nerfed and nerfed and reworked and nerfed some more. It's been a long time since the Kindred has been in a good place, but they were in a decent enough spot that I still play them a ton in normals and play them if my Kayn and Warwick get banned in ranked.
This patch though... Jesus. I literally warned Riot months ago in a pretty fairly upvoted forum post that stayed on the front page for a few days that I was worried Kindred and Ivern were going to be absolutely obliterated from the game as a result of being intrinsically tied to ADC and support items, respectively. Well the patch finally came around (and the support nerfs are next patch) and nobody bothered to throw Kindred even a little bit of power in the way of concrete stat increases. Sure, they made the respawn timer on camps 10 seconds less but they also made Scuttle so incredibly important that it's probably even more hard to get the camps now than two patches ago.
The Kindred rework is a patch known to anyone who plays a lot of Kindred. It ruined the feel of the character, it changed the identity of the character, it changed the damage profile of the character, it made the character a lot less flexible in what they could build. Riot basically forced Kindred to build crit or be entirely useless and now that crit has been knocked down a peg for bot lane, Kindred is basically knocked off the map. Bloodrazor-Black Cleaver-Frozen Mallet build isn't viable anymore, crit build isn't viable unless you get superbly ahead, and the champion just feels dead.
Riot please do something to help our old friend Kindred out. And while you're at it, please don't let the support nerfs (which are deserved) delete Ivern from the game in the same fashion next patch. I know the popular champs are important but it really sucks when no effort is made for months at a time while blatantly OP champions like Ezreal are either allowed to be way too strong or get tinkered with over months with the smallest adjustments ever to make sure they are in just the right spot.

with burst stats in all of her abilities because of %/hp damage stats. Now she actually scales and behaves like a normal champion that has to work for the marks. How the fuck did that ruin the feel of the character? You lost the feel of getting free elo? Well i can't argue with that.
or something else at the end.
, while having lamb as a spirit floating around. Statswise, is sturdier, having more armor, hp and magic res, but less single target damage
