Riot, please look at Kindred and Ekko

I'm just wondering if there are any plans to give Kindred another minor buff, since the change to her marks wasn't really enough to make her good again. Also, are there any plans to make Ekko jungle viable again? Maybe like... shorter passive cooldown on jungle monsters? Both of these used to be my favorite picks, but at this point picking either of them is really just an obstacle for climbing. I understand the meta changes season after season, but it really sucks when a pick is almost unplayable.

NOTE: Please do not buff Ekko in any way other than his jungle clear. Ekko mid feels very balanced (unless playing vs Kat or LB) and I would hate to see Ekko be a permabanned champion again

I am for a kindred buff. Maybe one where he gains a mark every 4 assists or 2 kills.

Kindred is pretty strong, they just don't fit into most solo queue teams.

People want a front line out of their jungle to initate fights and contest objectives.

Kindred will always need others to fill that role

A buff to Ekko jungle would be awesome as the season 6 changes intended to nerf tank Ekko hurt his clear quite a bit and to some extent his ganks. (Lower base attack speed and higher passive cooldown for clears and a lower w stun duration for ganks and clears.) The lower passive cooldown on monsters idea would probably be a good way to do it without buffing tank Ekko or mid lane Ekko. All he really needs to be good in the jungle imo would be a slightly faster/healthier clear.
