Despite RiotWrekz confidence kindred was not handled well by the live team on the fundemental issues
I will say that it is nice that finally not only a rioter but the rioter behind kindred finally properly respond to one of the most long standing discontent that the kindred community had for the champ.
RiotWrekz restates a point that has been brought up repeatedly when kindred was in an overtuned and undertuned state. The overall swing of their balance was/is either strong enough to reliably get marks = too strong; not strong enough to contest marks = too weak; with basically not much of an in between (specifically saying they are balanced on a razors edge).
Also the hindsight desire to have made the marks scale at more gradual rate and be balanced around that. Much appreciation that the sentiment finally is properly seen.
We couldn't have let such a final admittance of a mess up go through without going back into the state we all know and love for the straight ignorance with discussing the design and balance of the champ. How can you say that the live gameplay team is "keeping an eye out and making sure they are reasonable for kindred mains" with the history of flat out ignoring the points that have been constantly repeated as the fundamental issue with the champ plus solution idea's that are in line with the hindsight desire of the rioter behind the champ. This champ has been out for a little over 2 years, and since that point of release there was even a mini update with riot ignoring the issues of the champ instead of addressing it.
Kudo's to you Wrekz on owning up to the points that kindred has some fundamental issues. Since this year riot intends to put more attention into fixing up champs that need the more dedicated attention through vgu's/gu's maybe this can be third times the charm for actually getting kindred right this year. It's the year of the dog, do it for wolf.
