Kindred ult change

Jobriq··1 votes·1,170 views

With the nerf to Kindred's ult CDR (and wolf's AS scaling), I think Kindred's ult could be made a bit easier to use. When she was first released, her ult had to be champ targeted, which was nice to use on allies, but people didn't like it because it was hard to self-cast, since you had to move the cursor onto yourself, so you couldn't react as quickly and just press R when the enemy Annie flashes out of a bush.

I think her ult could have a middle-ground if it was ground-targeted like Yorick's W, with the max range being the radius of the ult. That way you could cast the ult in a direction to try and save an ally (or Baron/Dragon), but you could also just tap-R anywhere and you'd always be in the ult yourself. I guess it could cancel movement commands if you cast it in the opposite direction so you don't immediately walk out of it by accident.

You mean to tell me Kindred got reworked because they had to target themselves ? Is it the real reason really ? Like you can just press alt + R to self-cast.

How many players outside diamond+ do you think ever use the alt key? It's hard enough getting some people to use their damn trinkets. Anything more than QWER + DF and the mouse is too hard for some people. (Support players holding 4+ item actives like smh these noobs)

I'm surprised that more people don't use option+QWER to upgrade their abilities. It's a lot easier in the middle of a fight, but no one I know uses it.

I bound my level up to ZXC for QWE and MB3, the scroll wheel button, for my ult. It's a god sent for leveling skills, especially ults mid combat

I just wield my pinky finger effectively. (Why do gamers always discount the pinky?)

I tried that but it always made me misposition my fingers. Having my thumb on X keeps me generally stable and keeps me from accidentally throwing my ult while walking back to lane

from the 6.7 patch note, they also change how the ult work because they wanted to avoid easy safe from kindred for ally who were mispositioned. I don't think they would revert that kind of change, even mor now that we have taric ult for this type of "I wanna make my engage dude unkillable"
