Riot can't make you guys happy.

Honestly, when Ekko came out people were like "his kit is to overloaded" even though he had some new and cool mechanics. Now the new champ comes out and I keep seeing people complaining "his kit is too simple and its been done". You can't have it both ways people.
Also, just because they have similar abilities or mechanics doesn't mean they play the same. You aren't going to use Kindred's ult the same way you would Bards. Just as his other abilities.
