With the new Jg Changes it might be time to change how Kindred's marks work

Currently Kindred's first mark applies after Scuttle spawns which means they will most likely be dead by the time you get to it or you have to take it before your mark appears. With the rise of junglers with strong clears and superb Kindred wont be able to survive invading against the enemy lee, udyr, shaco, etc. So my proposal is to give Kindred the first 2 stacks in their own jungle and give them a few QOL changes they've needed for a while.

I think with the new jungle changes Kindred's marks should appear as follows-

  • 0-1: Gromp, Krugs, Raptors, Wolves (Kindred's Jungle)

  • 2-4: Scuttles, Gromp, Raptors (Enemy jungle)

  • 4-7: Scuttles, Krugs, Wolves (Enemy jungle)

  • 8+: Blue, Red (Enemy jungle)

  • Only Kindred and allies can see which camps are marked unless the enemy has seen the monster while it was marked. If the enemy sees the monster while it is marked the camp will show up on their mini-map until the enemy kills the monster or 15 seconds after the camp is killed by Kindred or Kindred's allies.

  • Epic monsters should always give a mark.

  • Quality of Life Change: Kindred's marks will no longer appear on camp the enemy in currently taking.

Thoughts?

... no... kindrid marks arn't the issue.. the issue is riot stupid fucking change that needs to flat out be reverted. i will literally not play this game again until this shit is fixed, yeah kindrid is completely fucked... about 30 more junglers also just go completely fucked by this.

the only thing comparably as bad as this change riot has done is "dynamic que" that is the ONLY thing that beats this out in terms of complete stupidity.

i dont like giving riot a hard time i really don't they do some great stuff. but their balance team is composed of complete fucking morons or the people in change silence the people who speak up against thier insanity, and the same people have either left the company or are now too scared to talk back to thier supervisors.

congrats riot. you finally did what you managed to do in season 5... you made me quit. last time it took you 8 months until i came back. how long are u planning on waiting until fixing your fucking bullshit this time. becuase i am flat out not playing this game with this change here.

i warned you.. EVERYONE fucking warned you. but nooo YOU DON'T FUCKING LISTEN.

and yeah.. i am swearing... congrats.. u ACTULLY got me to swear at you... you want to know why?

BECUASE I FUCKING CARE. I LIKE THIS GAME.

and i have to fucking stop playing it because you CHOOSE to make it COMPLETE SHIT.

AND THAT FUCKING PISSES ME OFF RIOT.

Whoever is in charge of your balance team.. whatever complete fucking moron lets this jungle exp change through.

congrats.. u completely alienated over 1/5th of your playerbase.

you want to know what i see your your "youtube channel" ADVERTISEMENTS FOR LEAGUE

you want to know what you NEVER had to do in the past ADVERTISE like that.

and u know.. what.. i am going to go out of my way to WARM people about how much your balance team is a group of fucking morons who wont stand up for what is correct and what is needed in this game.

you have ONE game riot... JUST ONE. your ENTIRE COMPANY is based around LEAGUE.

do u REALLY think you can pull shit like this? and not face consequences?

im only one player yeah. but guess what. i talk to people. i will NOT play your game until you fix your shit. i have done it before. don't believe me? check my match history from season 5.

i certainly hope u can get your shit together soon, because i really enjoyed this game..

Kindred needs a full rework. Maybe keep the Q and the W but everything else needs to be rethought.
