Not sure how well it would actually work, but Im curious to peoples thoughts on how well something like this might work.

With kindreds decent clearing speeds and champions like leona having a large amount of cc there may be a decent payoff to this if you have a bot lane that's decent enough to sit on there own.

You clear out your jungle switching ago so you both stay healthy, then proceed to the enemies jungle too start locking then down early. Or go straight to a lane with your cc and damage to get a kill or push them out.

Im just speculating here, but if successful then you could be able to greatly snowball off her passive between easy ganks and high invade pressure.

There really isnt that much experience or gold to gain from just jungling to justify a pair going around taking camps. Yeah, you shut down perhaps their jungler, but one of your solo laners is gonna get 1 vs 2 and be shut down harded because minions > monsters.

This is why Jungle ADC has primarily been problematic because they dont have the the means to cope with less gold gain than a laner unless they are very lucky with kills alongside the fact melees have better base stats.

This is why Kindred kinda has poor scalings, but decent %values and base stats and the reason as to why she has this particular ultimate so she can make plays that dont rely on how much gold she has.

Honestly I don't think her stacking passive is gonna be as sick as most belive because it requires her to invade most of the time or tip the hat that she is gonna gank you at some point.

Her Passive actually has a more "side effects" since it make laners play passive because they are targeted or you can now know when an enemy has taken your chosen camp. Which is pretty great from a mind games point of view.
